Welcome to the 41st Global
VEITH
V ascular E ndovascular I ssues T echniques H orizons
November 2014
Dear Colleague:
Welcome to our 41st annual meeting. We hope that you will find this year’s symposium better than ever. To this end
we will continue to have component meetings on Endovascular Treatment of Venous Disease, Hemodialysis Access,
Complex Vascular Malformations and Vascular Tumors, and WOUNDS. We will also have expanded sessions on
Emerging Management Options for Pulmonary Embolism, Contemporary Management of Large Vein Occlusive
Disease, Lower Extremity Occlusive Disease, CCSVI and MS, New Developments in Chimney, Periscope and Sandwich
Grafts, and the Multilayer Stent for Simpler Treatment of Aneurysms. In addition, we will expand our emphasis on all
aspects of Venous Disease and Associate Faculty Podium and Poster Sessions to facilitate all vascular surgeons – and
especially younger folks - playing a more active role in our meeting.
Although the basic format of our meeting in 2013 worked well, we have made some changes. One change this year is
that we will have more concurrent sessions to get in all the new hot items that are out there. We know you cannot be in
two places at once. However, you can simply check off in your program brochure the talks you would like to hear but
cannot. Then when you get your web-based version of the entire 2013 meeting, you can watch these talks and related
discussion on your computer at home within 2 weeks of the meeting. All talks will be indexed in the online version
of the meeting to correspond exactly to the program brochure. There will be a nominal fee for our attendees and our
faculty for unlimited access to the 2014 web-based version of our meeting. This will be a most valuable resource for
reference and learning.
This year we will also have simultaneous translation of some key parts of our meeting from English to Spanish,
Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese.
Thanks for coming this year. Please enjoy the meeting and please save the dates November 17-21, 2015 so you can return
next year.
Cordially,

GENERAL INFORMATION
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Vascular disease in all of its manifestations is a leading cause of death and disability affecting a large percentage of
Americans over the age of 50. There is a critical need for physicians who diagnose, treat and manage patients with
vascular disease to receive continuing medical education in this area. The latest pharmacologic, radiologic, surgical
and endovascular techniques and technologies will be presented, along with discussions of when these treatments
are justified and indicated and when they are not. Updates on clinical trials and opportunities for dialogue with
experts in the field provide insight along with the latest data on the results of the various treatment modalities.
There is an enormous gap between actual practice and the current state of knowledge. This gap is filled imperfectly
with material in books and published articles. These sources are also often negatively influenced by the biases of
authors, reviewers and editors. VEITHsymposium attempts to fill this gap more perfectly and more currently by
enlisting speakers with up-to-date information and data, and also those on both sides of controversial issues. In this
way, the audience gets a current view of the state-of-the-art in vascular disease management as of the date of the
meeting. All important topics are covered at the meeting and for further reference in the web based library, a longterm permanent resource.
In addition, by having numerous short (5-6 minutes) talks followed by panel discussions and capturing the entire
meeting on the web based library, the meeting will provide an electronic reference source to help vascular specialists
in their practice decisions throughout the year. It will also provide the most up-to-date unbiased information possible
to help with these decisions.
FOCUS
The VEITHsymposium provides Vascular Surgeons and other Vascular Specialists with a five-day conference on the
most current information about new developments in clinical practice and relevant research. Beginning Tuesday,
the symposium offers over 900 fast-paced presentations on what is new and important in the treatment of vascular
disease. Important updates and reevaluations, as well as the latest significant advances, changing concepts in
diagnosis and management, pressing controversies and new techniques, agents and diagnostic modalities will be
presented. Video case presentations will also be included.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the VEITHsymposium, the participants will, after learning about a wide array of topics, be able
to:
n Explain the practical implications of clinical trial data on new technologies and techniques for endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic disease
n
Summarize the impact of data on therapeutic advances for stroke and carotid disease management
n Compare the safety, efficacy, and therapeutic indications of pharmacologic agents to the management of vascular disease
n Assess data on the latest state-of-the-art for the treatment of superficial femoral and tibial artery disease and describe potential implications for clinical care
n
Summarize recent data on treatment advances for venous disease and explain their clinical implications
n Provide new information about the latest developments in hemodialysis access and vascular malformations
and tumors
n
Explain the clinical implications of new developments in wound care
TARGET AUDIENCE
Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Radiologists, Interventional Cardiologists, Vascular Medicine Specialists and all
others interested in the management of vascular disease.
TRANSLATION LANGUAGES
Translation from English to Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese will be provided in selected sessions on selected days.

NEW THIS YEAR! ASSOCIATE FACULTY POSTER AND PODIUM PRESENTATIONS AT VEITHsymposium
In order to have more younger and less familiar vascular surgeons and vascular specialists play an active role
as Associate Faculty at our meeting, we have initiated programs whereby they can present at the podium or
by posters. Vascular Surgeons and Vascular Specialists participating in these programs will have submitted
abstracts for a poster and/or podium presentation, and these abstracts will be posted on our website at www.
veithsymposium.org so they can be cited.
The Associate Faculty programs will be held in the Americas Hall I, 3rd floor, on Wednesday, November 19, 2014
and Thursday, November 20, 2014.
