Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) 9th Annual National Scientific Meeting 2022

Advanced Outpatient Endovascular Therapy, Peripheral Vascular Intervention, and Office-Based Interventional Practice

Overview

The Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) 9th Annual National Scientific Meeting 2022 is a premier multidisciplinary conference dedicated to the rapidly expanding field of outpatient endovascular and interventional medicine. The meeting focuses on advancing the safety, effectiveness, quality, and accessibility of office-based and ambulatory vascular interventions.

Designed for vascular specialists, interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and outpatient proceduralists, the conference explores contemporary techniques, operational strategies, clinical outcomes, regulatory considerations, and future innovations in outpatient vascular care.

Through expert lectures, case discussions, scientific presentations, and collaborative sessions, participants gain practical knowledge on delivering high-quality endovascular care outside the traditional hospital environment.
