The overall goal of this activity is to improve patient care by increasing learner competence in treating infrainguinal peripheral disease in a safe, effective and evidence based manner. This course will discuss clinical indications and treatment strategies for the SFA and popliteal arteries as well as the rapidly evolving technology to treat such patients.
The lectures within this course were originally presented at the SIR 2019 annual meeting in Austin, TX.
