ForwardMCVI Vascular and Endovascular Lecture Series: Screening for the Silent Killer: Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) — Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment
Decision making related to the care of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is complex. Aneurysms present with varying risks of rupture, and patient-specific factors influence anticipated life expectancy, operative risk and need to intervene.
Join us to hear Dr. Brian Schiro discuss the latest research on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of AAA, and provide evidence-based guidelines for determining optimal treatment options for patients with ruptured AAA to minimize subsequent aneurysm-related death or morbidity.
Live webinar only. Please register for Zoom link.

Learning Objectives
- Summarize the latest research findings and current theories on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with and without rupture.
- Assess patient history to determine the best screening tools for AAA.
