OVERVIEW

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a national health crisis, occurring or reoccurring in an estimated 1 million patients annually. With the advent of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and innovative invasive techniques, the field of VTE diagnosis and treatment is ever-evolving. This one-day course is intended to provide attendees with robust and current insight into Venous Thromboembolic disease. Since VTE occurs throughout the population and often requires a multi-disciplinary treatment approach, we invite all specialties of providers as well as advanced Allied Health practitioners to attend this informative course. Topics will be varied and will include a VTE anatomical refresher, pathology of VTE, topics in both noninvasive and invasive treatment options, and issues for special populations including thrombosis with SARS-COV2 (COVID-19) and oncologic and obstetric populations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:

1. Articulate and follow the guidelines for management of DVT and PE
2. Develop treatment strategies that factor in new concepts concerning new pharmaceuticals and minimally invasive treatment
3. Determine when to use the new anticoagulants and when not to treat; identify which surgical devices are now available as treatment options for submassive PE and when to use such surgical devices vs. when not to treat, and implement the updated guidelines for the management of VTE
4. Apply hospitalist and nursing strategies for optimizing transitions of care for patients with VTE
5. Explain the use of anticoagulation for hospitalized patients with COVID-19
