Pitfalls of Balloon Surveillance using Hybrid Tourniquet Embolization for Maturation Morphology with Bubbles at the Heel.

No, that's not the title of one of this year's presentations...but I got your attention!

Here are the actual titles of the Clinical Oral Presentations of the SVU 2010 Annual Conference:

Balloon-Assisted Maturation (BAM) of Arterio-Venous Fistulas (AVF) Under Duplex Guidance in the Office
-- Pamela Boniscavage

The Role of Afferent Artery and Efferent Vein Flow Volumes in Predicting Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation
-- Kelly R. Byrnes, BS RVT

Surveillance of Visceral Artery Debranching in Hybrid TEVAR Repair with Color Duplex Ultrasound: A Feasible Technology
-- Brian L. Chen, MD

Plaque Echolucency May Play a Critical Role in Predicting Cerebral Embolization in Patients Undergoing CAS
-- Christine Chung, BS

Routine Tourniquet Use During Pre-Operative Vein Mapping for Dialysis Access: Clinical Utility and Effect on Maturation Rates
-- Courtney K. Crawford, RVT

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Plaque Morphology in Carotid Stent Patients Over Time
-- Courtney M. Daly

Pitfalls of Transcranial Doppler Bubble Test for PFO: Does the Saline Solution Matter?
-- Zsolt Garami, MD

Are We Imaging the Correct Vessels to Determine Arterial Ischemia of the Heel?
-- Daniel E. Spivack, MD

Now, don't those sound more interesting than my title suggestion?  Don't miss it!!
