This course will provide essential background in theoretical knowledge, as well as clinical and technical skills required for clinicians to undertake the endovascular creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis. Topics covered include identifying endoAVF candidates, planning cases and managing the procedure for ultimate success in providing patients
All courses are currently hosted in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, TX.
Attendees can expect to be fully immersed in, but not limited to, these topics:
