Dr. Fastabend Serves as Instructor for Masters Program - Monday, April 24, 2017
|
Carl Fastabend, MD, FACC,
founder and medical director of the Vein Center of Southwest Louisiana,
recently served as an Instructor for the ClosureFast Masters Program in Dallas,
Texas. The two-day course was attended by 50 vascular physicians and mid-level
practitioners from across the country. The purpose of the program was to train
specialists on the safe and effective use of Medtronic’s ClosureFast procedure
to treat chronic venous disease. The procedure uses controlled and consistent
heat delivered by the ClosureFast catheter to seal the diseased vein. Once the
vein is sealed, blood is rerouted to nearby healthy veins.
Dr. Fastabend is the only
full-time, comprehensive vein specialist in Louisiana. He has participated in
important clinical research projects and is a regular speaker at training
sessions and conferences around the country for physicians interested in
learning about vein disease and modern treatment modalities. |
