Seventh Annual Vascular Symposium: The Essence of Vascular Care

Friday, March 10, 2023, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Newfields, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN


The program is a multi-disciplinary approach to vascular care and treatment. Based on survey
comments from prior years, topics of interest are incorporated into this year’s program and
will be presented by specialists with particular expertise.
The purpose of this symposium is to develop a platform to provide ongoing educational
opportunities and the potential for consultation by experts in the field. The overarching goal
of the symposium is to improve the quality of care provided to patients with vascular disease,
resulting in an enhance quality of life and, in some cases, preservation of life
and limb.
This symposium will enable us to disseminate knowledge regarding advancements in the care
of patients with acute and chronic venous disease; the role of anti-platelets, anticoagulants
and statins in the medical care of vascular disease; a demystification of standard vascular
labs; unique aspects of vascular care as seen in the dermatologic, diabetic and
pediatric patient; the changing landscape of care for the patient with carotid artery, aortic
aneurysmal and lower extremity vascular occlusive disease; difficult pathologies associated
with mesenteric artery occlusive disease and some insight into the role of population health
in managing vascular disorders.
We will address aspects of care, which will aid in the management of patients afflicted
with vascular disease, whether that care be provided by physician, pharmacist, podiatrist,
physician assistant, nurse practitioner, nurse or wound care specialist.

1. Recognize the use of anticoagulants (new and old) in patients and recognize the current best practices for patients with vascular disorders, both arterial and venous.
2. Explain when Peripheral artery disease (PAD) warrants advanced imaging and interventional care, what options exist (Percutaneous or open) and the risks and benefits of each
3. Identify some of the new avenues of care and investigation in patients with carotid and AAA disease.
4. Recognize vasculitis from the dermatologic perspective.
5. Reducing health disparities in Vascular care
6. Discuss outcomes of Best-CLI Trial
