CVT 221: Interventional Radiology and Peripheral and Vascular Interventions

Subject
Cardiovascular Technology
Credits 3 Lecture Hours 30
Quarter Offered
Fall
Instructional Mode
In-person
This course examines the application of interventional radiology techniques to non-cardiac vascular systems. Topics include peripheral vascular interventions, renal artery procedures, and advanced imaging technologies used to guide treatment in specialized cases. A review of peripheral vascular anatomy and an introduction to specific peripheral vascular procedures, including diagnostic angiography and therapeutic interventions for non-coronary vascular diseases is covered. Additional topics include procedural protocols, patient care, and potential complications.
Outcomes
  • Demonstrate knowledge of vascular anatomy and its procedural implications.
  • Explain steps in performing peripheral vascular diagnostic and interventional procedures while maintaining patient safety and compliance.
  • Evaluate imaging results to guide clinical decision-making.
  • Collaborate in simulated team-based approaches to identifying, responding to and managing peripheral vascular complications.
