Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021
The Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 is a high-level vascular surgery educational program developed jointly by the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at University of California Los Angeles and the Society for Vascular Surgery. This comprehensive online CME course focuses on the major pillars of vascular surgery including open surgical procedures, endovascular intervention, vascular imaging, noninvasive testing, and evidence-based vascular disease management.
The curriculum is designed for practicing vascular surgeons, vascular surgery trainees, and clinicians involved in vascular and endovascular care who want a modern review of evolving surgical techniques, catheter-based therapies, diagnostic imaging, and board-relevant vascular concepts.

Strong Board Review Integration
Includes roundtable discussions and board-focused educational sessions.
Practical Clinical Relevance
Emphasizes real-world vascular disease management and procedural decision-making.
Advanced Imaging Education
Provides detailed review of vascular imaging and noninvasive diagnostic testing.
Clinical Value
The Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 delivers advanced vascular education through integrated coverage of:
- Open vascular surgery
- Endovascular surgery
- Aortic aneurysm repair
- Carotid artery intervention
- Peripheral arterial disease
