Main conference objectives to be discussed through various lectures will include: comparison of endovascular treatments for acute stroke, identifying patients who will benefit from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), benefits of percutaneous aortic intervention and differentiate diagnostic studies to improve patient outcomes and cost effectiveness of pre-operative testing.
