About the course
This inter-disciplinary, case-based activity provides an in-depth review and analysis of current state-of-the-art practices in the management of patients with aortic disease. The program is designed to engage learners in debates, discussion, and clinical decision making to share best practices with expert faculty from some of the world’s leading multi-disciplinary aorta centers.
This course equips participants with the latest evidence, practical strategies, and collaborative frameworks needed to deliver safer, more effective, and more forward-thinking aortic care.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Review of aortic anatomy, pathophysiology, and disease progression to better recognize early and acute presentations
- Summarize the evidence supporting the role of genetics and family history as it affects the risk of aortic disease
- Evaluate the optimal care of acute aortic disease though the continuum of care from emergency department to lifetime follow-up
- Evaluate innovations in medical, surgical, and endovascular therapies for aortic aneurysm and dissection, including evolving strategies for Type A repair
- Review best practices for perioperative and anesthesia management to ensure safe, efficient transitions into and out of the operating room
- Analyze the available options for the assessment and management of patients with acute aortic disease
- Assess new technologies, devices, and precision‑medicine approaches for individualized treatment planning for aortic disease
