Channel Title: Vascular Cures Channel Description: Vascular Cures is the only 501(c)3 nonprofit organization representing the millions of patients with Vascular Disease in the U.S. We focus on creating long-term, shared resources to accelerate development of new treatments and improve patient health. Vascular disease is an abnormal condition of the blood vessels. Arteries and veins are the crucial highways of the body, that pump blood throughout the body. Problems along this vast network of blood vessels, called the vascular system, can cause severe disability and death. Vascular diseases include atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease (PAD), stroke, aneurysms, and hypertension among others. Although deaths from heart attacks are declining, there is an epidemic of vascular disease, in part due to aging and skyrocketing diabetes and obesity. PAD alone affects 200 million people worldwide and increased by 25% in the last decade. <video> Discussion with Panelists: Prioritizing Health Equity-focused Methodology Description: </video> <video> Putting Promise into Practice: AI-Based Clinical Care Piloting: Change in Peripheral Artery Disease Description: </video> <video> The Principles for Development and Evaluation of AI Algorithms:Digital Health Framing the Transform Description: </video> <video> Prioritizing Patient Values and Perspectives: Challenges and Opportunities for Digital Health Description: </video> <video> The Promise of Machine Learning to Predict Vascular Disease and Improve Care: A Call to Action Description: </video> <video> Application of Big Data Comparative Analysis to Increase Risk Prevention, Examples Description: </video> <video> Managing Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: Case Study Description: Dr. Menard and Dr. Gomez-Sanchez discuss managing a patient with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. This session covers a comprehensive case study of an 86-year-old patient presenting with severe symptoms and the complex decision-making process involved in her treatment, highlighting the challenges and intricacies of managing such cases in vascular surgery. Key Highlights: - Case Study Analysis: Detailed examination of a patient with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, including assessment of her medical history, angiogram findings, and the decision-making considerations for her treatment. - Surgical vs. Endovascular Approach: Discussion on choosing between surgical bypass and endovascular revascularization, considering the patient's unique medical condition and desired outcomes. - Multidisciplinary Care: The importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving cardiology and other specialties, in managing complex vascular cases. - Patient-Centered Treatment Decisions: Emphasis on aligning treatment with the patient's goals, such as returning to activities like dancing, and providing durable results. - Best CLI Trial Insights: Reference to the Best CLI trial, recently published in the New England Journal, which provides data supporting treatment decisions for similar cases. Who Should Watch: Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists involved in the treatment of limb-threatening ischemia. Medical students and residents interested in vascular surgery and complex case management. Patients and caregivers seeking insight into the treatment of critical limb-threatening conditions.
