Aortic Disease From Bench to Boardroom
Examines aortic aneurysm anatomy, endograft development, regulation, screening, and cost distribution from bench to boardroom.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Describe how aortic aneurysm physiology have informed trials that established criteria for repair
Describe how aortic aneurysm anatomy influences options for endovascular or surgical repair
Describe the biological, clinical, and public health factors influencing successful endograft development
Explain the process for regulatory evaluation of devices from an engineering standpoint to a patient’s perspective.
Describe the anatomical details involved in evaluating an endograft for device regulation
Describe the science behind the imaging techniques involved in regulating and following endografts clinically.
Describe the anatomy and physiology relevant to open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, and how this may influence a patient’s operative course.
Describe the anatomy and physiology behind endoleaks, and how this influences post-operative endograft surveillance and need for re-intervention.
Explain the biological, clinical, and socio-economic factors involved in advocacy to implement screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm
Analyze the costs and charges associated with specific procedures and how this influences treatment choice for specific patient populations
Synthesize acquired knowledge of basic science and public health implications of aortic aneurysm disease, clinic trials, repair options, and regulatory evaluation of devices to defend application of a device to specific patient populations.

Student experience
the class
The anatomy applicable to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, how this influenced the development of endografts, and how that development is regulated. Investigate the issues involved in aneurysm screening, and experience aneurysm screening in the clinic and aneurysm repair in the operating room. Discuss what is involved in medical device regulation, and how the medical device industry interacts with physicians to develop and distribute technology. Evaluate how the cost of medical devices is distributed to patients.
