SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVESFollowing completion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Improve the diagnosis and management of patients with vascular disease

• Define the role of surgery, endovascular therapy and medical management in the treatment and prevention of the disease.

• Discuss the development and implementation of new technology for diagnosing and treating vascular disease.

• Identify key issues of concern to physicians who care for patients with vascular disease.

CONTINUING EDUCATIONThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of theAccreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of theUniversity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Université de la Méditerranée, School of Medicine, FrenchSociety of Vascular Surgery.
