PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This two-and-a-half day live symposium, which is the ninth in an annual series, has been designed to present and discuss the diagnosis and treatment paradigms for aortic diseases, including medical, endovascular, surgical, and hybrid options. Sessions topics will include Valve/Ascending, Arch/Carotid, DTAA, AAA, Dissection, PAD, Genetics/Imaging/Trauma, and TAAA. The scientific program was formulated by consulting the current literature and national data, in conjunction with the expertise of the Program Directors and esteemed faculty, and incorporating information gathered from online needs assessment surveys and evaluation outcomes.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES After attending the symposium, participants should be able to: s Understand the current management of acute/

chronic, symptomatic/asymptomatic, and complicated/uncomplicated aortic dissection s Examine updates from the latest trials for

aortic dissection s Understand the current management of blunt

thoracic aortic injury s Compare the latest results for open, hybrid,

and endovascular repair for the transverse aortic arch s Review current management of the bicuspid

aortic valve and its aortopathy s Understand the latest techniques in open

and endovascular management of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms s Review the latest techniques for descending

thoracic aortic aneurysm repair

u Contrast open and endovascular

techniques for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm management u Evaluate updates on recent advances

in vascular genetics u Examine updates for the latest techniques

in the management of vascular trauma and infections u Review the most recent results of

transcatheter aortic valve replacement u Examine the current techniques in minimally

invasive cardiac surgery
