Master Complex Interventions. Transform Your Patient Outcomes.

Advance your expertise and improve outcomes for patients with PAD with the SVS Complex Peripheral Vascular Intervention (CPVI) Skills Course — designed for vascular surgeons, trainees and other specialists who wish to remain current in the specialty of vascular surgery and endovascular therapy.

This two-day, intermediate-to-advanced level course delivers a comprehensive hands-on experience with the latest techniques and technologies for treating complex PAD and CLTI. Gain practical skills, immediately applicable to your practice through cadaver and benchtop simulation labs, high-impact didactics and collaborative case-based discussions—all led by nationally recognized faculty. 

Whether you’re exploring the latest clinical recommendations and innovations or refining advanced techniques, the low faculty-to-participant ratio ensures personalized, effective instruction in a dynamic learning environment.
