The Program

At VIVA 2025, this practical session for nurses, technologists, APPs, and sonographers covered PAD, venous disease, carotid management, wound care, and cardiometabolic syndrome.

Attendees gained actionable insights on imaging, interventions, VTE and wound programs, and pharmacologic management — all reinforced through case-based discussions and expert panels.
