Cases and resources in vascular techniques

This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.

Dr. Prakash Krishnan breaks down bioresorbable scaffolds after the LIFE-BTK trial. Discover how these drug-eluting scaffolds may help in dissections and recoil, offering temporary support without compromising future treatments. Challenges remain—long lesions, above-the-ankle use, and vessel prep are still under investigation. Watch now to see what this means for complex CLTI care!

By watching this session, you will learn the following: describe at least 4 different strategies to manage endovascularly arterial bifurcations, determine what is the best endovascular option to manage lesions of the aorto-iliac, iliac, femoral or below-the-knee arterial bifurcations, and associate strategies from cardiology and interventional surgery to offer the most appropriate endovascular treatment for each arterial bifurcation lesion.

This session explores today’s key questions in venous practice: is foam still justified in 2025? How do non-thermal techniques compare? And in combined superficial and deep disease, what should be treated first? With focused discussions on severe ulceration and deep venous insufficiency, it offers clear, practice-oriented insights to guide real-life decision-making.
