Advances in the management of patients with vascular disease

Now in its 9th year, the Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) Symposium has demonstrated comprehensive, objective, cutting-edge continuing education in the field of vascular medicine and intervention. With a faculty representing expertise across all specialties, and using a proprietary system of interactive educations (Laptop Learning), attendees listen to presentations and debates, and watch cases demonstrating state-of-the-art interventions from sites around the world. This year, VIVA attracted some of the most important studies presented by international investigators.
