HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Established in 1987 by Dr. D. Eugene Strandness,
the “father of the vascular laboratory,” the biennial
Strandness Symposium addresses diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches to vascular disease. The
symposium continues to emphasize the themes of
Dr. Strandness’ life work and his continued legacy:
• Use of ultrasound and other non-invasive
vascular tests in clinical practice, evaluation
of the natural history of vascular diseases, and
for the rigorous scientific validation of new
therapeutic approaches to vascular disease.
• Mentoring and professional development
opportunities for those caring for the patient
with vascular disease.
• Promoting effective inter-professional
collaborations, involving physicians,
technologists, nurses, physician assistants,
pharmacists, and others.
Vascular Care provides multi-disciplinary
perspectives on the common problems and unusual
challenges encountered in the care of patients with
vascular diseases. Each of the annual Vascular Care
programs emphasizes “Total Vascular Care,” that
the best outcomes result from the combination of
technical excellence and comprehensive, patientfocused care.
Vascular Care offers broad perspectives, addressing
the novel and the state-of-the-art, as well as
established “best practices” and evidence-based
clinical guidelines. It also considers the continuum
of care, emphasizing the benefits of incorporating
complementary diagnostic tools, consideration of
individual patients circumstances and needs, and
long-term follow up.
• Guidance on the best uses of endovascular
therapeutics.
• Perspectives on established and innovative
surgical techniques.
• Clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based
treatment strategies.
• Interactive presentations of clinical case
challenges.
• Tips and tricks for avoiding complications and
managing the unexpected.
For the first time in 2015, these two popular
programs will be offered jointly as the Strandness
Symposium and Vascular Care in an expanded fiveday course format. Core program themes will be
presented in each morning’s plenary session. Lunch
and learn sessions, afternoon workshops, roundtable
discussions, and evening programs round out the
meeting.
VASCULAR FORUM: EDUCATIONAL
FORUM FOR STUDENTS, RESIDENTS,
AND FELLOWS
As the Strandness Symposium & Vascular Care
programs have traditionally supported interprofessional education and team-based care
principles, trainees are invited to participate in the
Vascular Forum. The Vascular Forum includes an
afternoon presentation session on the first day of the
conference, which will be of interest to all conference
attendees. Case studies, clinical research, or abstracts
on other topics related to the conference themes may
be submitted for consideration. Selected participants
will compete for awards, which will be presented at a
Monday evening program.
HAWAI’I VASCULAR SYMPOSIUM
For years, the Hawai’i Vascular Symposium
offered updates in vascular and cardiovascular
interventions. In recognition of the important
educational contributions of the Hawai’i Vascular
Symposia, the 2015 meeting includes faculty who
are internationally recognized vascular specialists
who practice, innovate, and teach in the Islands. The
program will also offer special kama´aina benefits to
health care professionals working in the Hawaiian
Islands.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Workshops provide an opportunity for practical
learning in smaller group settings. Topics and handson experiences include use of ultrasound, procedure
simulators, and practice with use of interventional
devices. Each of the three workshops on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday will last approximately
60 minutes and will be repeated once, to maximize
opportunities for participants to attend two sessions
per day.
ONE HEALTH
This special afternoon session includes research
presentations and discussions on topics related
to cardiovascular diseases, vascular biology,
translational research, and comparative medicine.
TOTAL VASCULAR CARE
Effective teams employ inter-professional care. The
Total Vascular Care session focuses on best practices
in diagnosis, disease management, care coordination,
and communication, including the use of informatics
systems and other technologies.
VASCULAR LABORATORY
INTERPRETATION
A comprehensive review of criteria for interpretation
of cerebrovascular, venous, peripheral arterial, and
visceral vascular examinations is provided. Casebased presentations provide an engaging, interactive
format. Clinical examples are used to illustrate
interpretation of typical cases from the vascular
laboratory, as well interpretation of unusual clinical
entities.
CHALLENGING THE EXPERTS
The Challenging the Experts session brings clinical
issues to forefront, with presentations of interesting
cases for discussion and learner interaction. This
session on the final afternoon has moderator
roles shared between a faculty vascular surgeon, a
cardiologist, and an interventional radiologist. Cases
will be presented to inter-disciplinary panels of
expert discussants. The audience participates, with
discussion from the floor and by use of the Audience
Response System (ARS).

Centrally located in Waikiki, the resort is right next to Waikiki Beach as well
as world-class shopping and dining. Also close by is the popular North Shore,
with its misty mountains and phenomenal surfing. Nearby natural and cultural
attractions abound, from Hanauma Bay and Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor
and the Polynesian Cultural Center—the Honolulu Zoo is a great place to take
the little ones on a family outing.
Just steps from our doors you’ll find the beautiful white sands of Waikiki
Beach, where you can learn to surf on the same waves as world-renowned
Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoku, the famed Olympian credited with
introducing surfing to the world.
Diamond Head crater, or Leahi as it is known in Hawaiian, is located just
three miles from the resort. The moderate hike to the top takes approximately
45 minutes—but is well worth the memories that will last a lifetime. Spend a
day at Hanauma Bay, a half-hour drive from the resort, offering calm and clear
water which is ideal for snorkeling. You’re likely to encounter sea turtles and
many more tropical fish among the abundant sea life.
Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial are both approximately 40
minutes by car. Connect with history at the World War II Valor in the Pacific
National Monument preserving the stories of the Pacific War.
A block of rooms is being held for conference participants at a rate of $289
