Jon C. George, MD, FSCAI
Peripheral Track Director
Overview
This program offers a comprehensive overview of essential skills, guidelines, and advanced techniques in endovascular care, covering peripheral arterial disease, venous thrombosis, carotid artery stenosis, and management of complex vascular disease.
Sessions will include insights on managing restenosis, acute limb ischemia, and deep venous therapies, along with strategies for professional growth and inter-specialty collaboration. Attendees will gain practical skills with live cases, hands-on workshops, and device applications.
Come learn, experience, and take away tips and tricks to improve patient outcomes, optimize procedural success, and build robust endovascular practices.
Target Audience
Appealing to trainees, early-career physicians, and experienced practitioners in peripheral endovascular practice.
Learning Objectives
After attending SCAI 2025 Scientific Sessions, the learner will be able to:
- Apply the latest PAD guidelines to improve access techniques and interventions for aorto-iliac and SFA lesions.
- Implement advanced strategies for complex vascular conditions, including restenosis prevention, ALI management, and BTK revascularization for CLTI.
- Optimize venous care by understanding venous anatomy, managing conditions like iliac vein compression, and improving DVT and IVC filter interventions.
- Integrate new developments in carotid artery interventions, focusing on CAS, TCAR, and CEA for effective stroke prevention in asymptomatic stenosis.
- Develop troubleshooting skills for managing high-stakes vascular intervention complications, including aortoiliac and femoral access issues.
- Enhance practice growth and collaboration through effective referral management, coding proficiency, and cross-specialty teamwork.
Exploring cutting-edge techniques and challenges in the management of complex vascular conditions, this session will address critical topics such as combating restenosis, managing acute limb ischemia (ALI), and mastering below-the-knee (BTK) revascularization strategies for critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Attendees will gain valuable insights from real-world cases and innovative approaches, including transcatheter arterialization of deep veins.
This session will delve into the evolving landscape of venous interventions and their clinical implications. It will include essential topics such as venous anatomy for procedural success, the intersection of superficial and deep venous diseases, and managing conditions like iliac vein compression and pelvic congestion. Attendees will also explore indications for acute DVT interventions and the challenges of managing IVC filters, gaining insights into innovative approaches for optimizing venous care.

Explore the latest advancements and future directions in carotid artery interventions. This session will cover essential updates on policies affecting carotid artery stenting (CAS), technological innovations, and the implications of recent guidelines on treatment decisions for asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Attendees will engage in case presentations and discussions focused on optimizing stroke prevention strategies through various intervention options, including TCAR, TF-CAS, and carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
