Activity Details
Activity Name: Cutting Edge Interventional Solutions for Brain and Spinal Disease
Description: This course is intended to provide an introduction of and understanding in the endovascular/minimally invasive management of common diseases of the brain and spine.
Needs Assessment: The course instructors comprise a multidisciplinary team of physicians who will discuss treatment strategies on topics including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, spine disease and back pain. State-of-the-art interventional and minimally invasive techniques will be presented as management options for common health issues in the head and neck, brain and spine. Updated management guidelines will be provided for each subject. This program has been designed for physicians including internists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, emergency medicine specialists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and first responders.
Course Objectives:

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

  • Participate in decision making regarding the use of IV alteplase and endovascular intervention in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke
  • Utilize the recently expanded indications for endovascular intervention in acute ischemic stroke – whom to treat and in what time window
  • Medically manage patients with carotid stenosis and understand the indication for endovascular intervention in the treatment of carotid artery atherosclerotic disease
  • Medically manage patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease and understand indication for endovascular intervention in this setting
  • Diagnose the most common causes of back pain and understand the role of interventional procedures in the management of these prevalent disease states
  • Explain the mechanism of action and objectives of spinal tumor ablation in patients with back pain due to primary or metastatic spine disease
  • Qualify the significance of incidentally discovered cerebral aneurysms and understand the surgical and endovascular options for treatment
  • Identify the array of congenital vascular and lymphatic lesions of the head and neck (congenital vascular birthmarks) and understand therapeutic options for percutaneous and endovascular management of these lesions
