The evaluation and management of peripheral vascular disease continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Learning the skills required to navigate this complicated clinical landscape is a challenge best met through a combination of case presentations, observations, self-directed education, and didactic learning. We invite you to join us in Chicago for the 3rd Annual Chicago EndoVascular Conference (CVC). CVC will take place July 10–12, 2013, at The Swissôtel Chicago. The CVC incorporates a platform that promotes greater depth into the examination of barriers pertaining to the diagnosis, intervention, and follow-up of patients with peripheral arterial and venous disease. Problem solving at the national level affords the opportunity to provide responsive solutions by engaging specialists, healthcare teams, and industry in collaborative decision making.
Given the tremendous success of CVC, it is our goal to continue to present the most current and future strategies for the evaluation and treatment of peripheral vascular disease. CVC also strives to truly address the performance and competence of the everyday physician in order to realize improvements in patient outcomes.
CVC 2013 will feature several quick-paced didactic lectures given by a multidisciplinary group of physicians including vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologist, interventional radiologist, and podiatrists. CVC will continue to incorporate “real-live” cases with panel discussion from nationally renowned institutions into the agenda as this has provided an incredible learning opportunity for our attendees. Courses will highlight real-world experience, which allows for participant and faculty interaction on a deeper level. Our non-CME activities give attendees the chance to meet informally with faculty, encouraging one-onone discussion at an expert level.
New this year to CVC is the establishment of a Scientific Committee comprised of national thought leaders to help develop content and faculty. Also, our alliance with the International Society of Endovascular Specialist (ISES) will offer us access to a national platform to continue to expand our scope to a national and international level. These are just a few of the many additional highlights, along with internal CME provided on a nationally accredited level, and cosponsorship by well-recognized societies.
The success of CVC from previous years has led to a dramatic growth on a national scale. We expect this growth rate to continue in 2013 and anticipate an attendance increase of 25%-50%.
We hope that you will join us in our effort toward endovascular innovation.
