• Module 3: Renal (1 day, optional)
• Module 4: Carotid Artery Stenting (1 day, optional)

Clinical and Practical Aspects of SFA / BTK interventions

• Aimed at interventionists seeking insights into CLI and SFA / BTK procedures as primary operator
• Programs of 1.5 days organized at Institute or locally, with an additional module possible in a centre of excellence
• Case review based content includes:
• advantages / limitations of PAOD intervention;
• clinical data review and treatment choices;
• techniques and treatment strategy;
• complications;
• drug therapy and follow-up

Clinical and Practical Aspects of Carotid Artery Stenting

• Aimed at physicians who have performed > 50 peripheral interventions and
• Programs of 1.5 days organized at Institute or locally with an additional module possible in a centre of excellence
• Hands-on workshop content includes:
• indications, clinical signs of carotid disease;
• clinical data review and guidelines;
• clinical case review;
• procedure techniques and procedure strategy planning;
• complication management and prevention;
• hands-on exercises on simulators and flow models

Clinical and Practical Aspects of BTK Interventions, Introduction Program

• For physicians with 2+ years of experience in endovascular procedures, some level of confidence in Iliac/SFA procedures and having little BTK-procedure experience
• Program of 2 modules organized at Institute or locally with theoretical and hands-on exercises (1.5 days) and optional live case follow-up at a Center of Excellence (1 day)
• Content includes:
• Review and discussion of literature on BTK angioplasty/stent treatment, overview of current clinical practice
• Basic approaches, techniques and technologies for treating various Popliteal/BTK lesions
• Review of various techniques, advantages and limitations of interventional procedures in treating BTK disease
• Treatment strategy planning with focus on procedural techniques, use of materials, decision making process, including simple complication management and follow-up
• Case based discussion with interactive voting capability, hands-on training on Virtual reality Simulators and Hybrid Flow Models

Clinical and Practical Aspects of BTK Interventions and CTO, Advanced Program

• For physicians with 5+ years of experience in endovascular procedures, confident in complex Iliac/SFA procedures, having some BTK-procedure experience but wanting to learn more. Also for experienced physicians doing BTK procedures already but wanting to gain more knowledge especially on CTOs
• Program of 2 modules organized at Institute or locally with theoretical and hands-on exercises (1.5 days) and optional live case follow-up at a Center of Excellence (1 day)
• Content overview:
• Review of advantages and limitations of interventional procedures in treating BTK disease
• Discuss latest literature on BTK angioplasty/stent treatment, overview of current clinical practice
• Review of approaches, techniques and technologies for recanalising CTOs with additional use of special hands-on models to optimize learning on guide wire techniques
• Advanced clinical case discussions with focus on procedural techniques, selection of materials, decision making process and treatment strategy planning, including complication management and follow-up
