Drug Eluting Stents: Beyond the trials
Thurs - July 10 | 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
This evening symposium will focus on drug eluting stents as an evolving technology. Presentations and panel discussions will demonstrate how drug eluting stents continue to progress in coronary artery therapies.
Core Curriculum
Fri - July 11 | Sat - July 12
SIS offers a comprehensive course to physicians and healthcare professionals who specialize in cardiology, neurology, and vascular medicine. Our goal is to provide the latest, most pertinent data, technologies and techniques to help you improve patient outcomes by:
- Live case demonstrations with a focus on coronary, as well as vascular and emerging technologies
- State-of-the-art presentations
- Case-oriented discussions on complex clinical decision-making
- Learning new minimally invasive and endovascular technologies using cadaveric specimens in the Seattle Science Foundation BioSkills Lab
- A non-invasive imaging symposium highlighting the applications of CT Angiography, Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac MR.
Coronary Artery Disease
Diagnoses and treatment of complex coronary artery disease focusing on the use of drug-eluting stents and imaging.
Structural Heart Disease and Bioskills Lab
PFO, ASD, PDA, LAA Closure, Mitral and Aortic Valves therapies will be emphasized in this core curriculum. . The Seattle Science Foundation's state-of-the-art BioSkills Lab will provide the attendee with guided, hands-on anatomical training and the opportunity to place devices using cadaveric specimens. Side by side anatomy and noninvasive imaging, TEE, CT and MR allow the attendee further knowledge of the nuances of the anatomy and the devices used for treatment.
Endovascular Therapies and Bioskills Lab
All aspects of interventional therapeutics will be covered, including AAA, TAG, SFA disease, lower limb, renal and iliac disease. The Seattle Science Foundation's state-of-the-art BioSkills Lab will provide the attendee with the opportunity for guided, hands-on anatomical training using cadaveric specimens and correlated with noninvasive imaging. Surgical specimens of carotid endartectomy, and neurovascular anatomy will be used to further enhance the learning experience.
Non-Invasive Imaging
The latest advances and roles of CTA and MR in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Saturday's session attendees will have the opportunity to read cases with experts in the fields of CT and MR.
Product Engineers Breakfast
Join Dr. Todd Brinton and members of the SIS Product Engineers Team for a “Spartan Breakfast” to help prepare you for an enhanced educational experience during SIS 2008.
To register for the breakfast, please email Kurt Owens at kurto@seattlesciencefoundation.org.
Product Engineers Lunch
Dr. Todd Brinton will lead this de-brief of the SIS 2008 Conference from a product engineer’s perspective.
To register for this session please go to the SIS 2008 Registration Page at www.sis.org.
Meet the Experts
Sat - July 12
Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss focused therapies with our internationally recognized expert faculty. This will provide the attendee with the opportunity for in-depth discussions of the most pressing issues in cardiology, neurology and vascular medicine.
Fellows Course
Sat - July 12 | Sun - July 13
This 1.5 day, invitation-only symposium for fellows in cardiac and vascular medicine provides a foundation in percutaneous intervention using a case-based and hands-on format. Hands-on cadaveric training in the Seattle Science Foundation BioSkills lab will compliment this years program. Additionally, fellows will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with state-of-the-art therapeutic technologies and interventions while putting into practice the approaches and techniques discussed throughout the course.
