W008 Hands-on: Varicose and Telangiectatic Veins
DESCRIPTION
Tuition fee and ticket required for admission
This hands-on training session will focus on how to manage lower extremity venous disease, with an emphasis on treating cosmetically undesirably spider and reticular veins of the legs. Faculty will describe the anatomy of the lower extremity venous system; identify patient characteristics that warrant noninvasive imaging; formulate an appropriate treatment plan; and recite the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment modality. Following the didactic portion, participants will break into small groups and circulate through hands-on stations staffed by instructors, where they will practice patient examination with ultrasound, perform sclerotherapy on multiple simulation training devices, and watch a live demo.
This activity has been approved by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) for up to 30 Continuous Certification Program (CCP) Component 2 Self-Assessment points. For more information about CCP, please visit the ABD website at www.abderm.org.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Describe the anatomy of the lower extremity venous system and identify patient characteristics that warrant noninvasive imaging prior to initiating treatment.
Determine the appropriate use of sclerotherapy, lasers, and more advanced venous techniques and formulate an appropriate treatment plan for leg veins ranging from spider veins to truncal varicosities.
Identify the appropriate techniques and tips for optimizing sclerotherapy treatments using hands-on simulation training devices.
