About the Event

Mumbai Vascular Foundation (MVF) successfully organized a comprehensive Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Course from November 11th to 13th, 2022, at the Symbiosis Learning Center, Symbiosis Hospital, Dadar.

This intensive training program provided a platform for medical professionals to gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in managing peripheral vascular diseases (PVD). The event brought together leading vascular and interventional specialists from across the country to share insights on the latest advancements, treatment strategies, and practical approaches for tackling complex vascular conditions.

Event Highlights

• Expert-Led Learning — Participants learned from renowned diabetic foot surgeons and interventional radiologists.
• Live Case Demonstrations — Real-time case studies covering aortoiliac, femoropopliteal, and below-knee disease interventions.
• Hands-On Training — Simulation-based learning with live hardware demonstrations.
• Comprehensive Discussions — In-depth discussions on diabetic foot management, ulcer treatment, and advanced wound care.
• Emergency Management — BCLS/ACLS training for handling acute vascular emergencies in the Cath Lab.
• Latest Advances in PVD — Topics included IVL, deep venous arterialization, and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Objectives

• Understanding the pathophysiology of PVD — and the role of interventional radiologists in its management.
• Principles of diabetic ulcer care — foot biomechanics, and determining amputation levels.
• Detailed patient assessment strategies — acute vs. chronic limb ischemia.
• Mastering endovascular revascularization techniques — and vascular access methods.
• Approaches to chronic total occlusion (CTO) — and calcified lesions.
