Find out all you wanted to know about vascular access but were afraid to ask!

“A comprehensive overview on all aspects of vascular access from all points of view- surgeon, interventional radiologist and nephrologist, dialysis nurses and anyone associated with dialysis. International experts from the Vascular Access Society and the UK will provide the faculty”

Topics
Some of the topics covered by the course:
• Multidisciplinary approach to access creation • Venous preservation in pre-dialysis and early referral • Non-invasive mapping of vessels • Strategy vascular access creation • Arteriovenous fistula in children • Vascular access elderly and diabetics • Place of duplex in evaluation of fistulas and grafts • Options for fistulas diagnosis and intervention for immature AV fistulas • Clinical diagnosis of stenosis and thrombosis • Vascular access monitoring flow measurements • Vascular access and intimal hyperplasia • Aneurysm infection • Provision of dialysis and vascular access issues in the UK • Can optimal time for the treatment of a stenosis be predicted? • Endovascular treatment of stenosis by dilatation and stenting • Surgical treatment of stenosis in fistulas and grafts • Endovascular treatment of thrombosis of AV fi stula grafts • Diagnosis of treatment hand ischaemia • Surgical treatment of venous hypertension • Unusual vascular access • The risks of long term central catheter use for haemodialysis • Management of central vein stenosis/occlusion
