DVT/PE Thrombolysis and Thrombectomy, Dublin/IE, February 15-16, 2019
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE) remain one of society’s most pressing healthcare challenges, representing the third most common cause of cardiovascular-related mortality. Both vena cava filter placement and thrombolysis/thrombectomy for DVT/PE have become widely used throughout Europe. Given this development, IRs need to familiarise themselves with the current pharmaco-mechanical devices on the market for DVT and PE thrombolysis/thrombectomy.
In this ESIR course “DVT/PE Thrombolysis and Thrombectomy” organised by Prof. Mick Lee and Dr Gerry O’Sullivan, attendees will learn about the fundamentals, latest evidence and techniques for treating venous thromboembolism. This will be followed by covering the current status of PE/DVT treatments as well as patient selection, outcomes, complications and follow-up protocols. Additionally, short lectures by recognised experts will be delivered on current anticoagulation therapies for DVT/PE, evidence for thrombolysis/thrombectomy, imaging tools, safe use of devices and outcomes to be expected. The programme will also cover acute interventional treatments for DVT and PE and IR treatments for chronic venous occlusion. Illustrative cases will be used to show teaching points including complications and how to avoid them.
A large part of the course will be devoted to hands-on experience with the various devices currently available on the market. Ample time for questions will be allotted and participants are encouraged to bring cases for discussion.
IR’s role in treating DVT
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are major healthcare issues. In this video, Dr. Gerry O’Sullivan and one of his patients talk us through the minimally invasive therapies IR can offer DVT sufferers.
