Course Introduction
About this course
The purpose of this course is to enhance clinicians’ ability to evaluate and implement appropriate interventions for carotid artery disease. By integrating clinical assessment, imaging interpretation, and evidence-based treatment options, the course aims to reduce the risk of stroke and improve patient outcomes.
Carotid artery disease is a leading driver of ischaemic stroke and demands precise clinical decision-making — combining medical management, endovascular interventions, and surgical options into individualised treatment pathways.
This programme builds structured competence in clinical interventions for carotid artery disease — covering decision criteria, intervention modalities, peri-procedural care, and long-term follow-up.
Scope of the Course
What this course covers
This course focuses on the clinical interventions for carotid artery disease, including medical, endovascular, and surgical management strategies. It emphasizes evidence-based approaches for the prevention of stroke, patient selection for interventions, and multidisciplinary care coordination.
Course Objectives & Outcomes
What you will achieve
By the end of this course, learners will have built core clinical competencies directly applicable to everyday practice — translating into safer, more confident, more effective patient care.
Each outcome below targets a specific dimension of carotid intervention practice — building integrated knowledge across patient selection, technique, and post-procedural management.
01
Understand the pathophysiology, risk factors, and clinical presentation of carotid artery disease
02
Assess the degree of carotid stenosis and associated risk of cerebrovascular events
03
Compare medical management options, including antiplatelet therapy, lipid-lowering therapy, and lifestyle modifications
04
Recognize indications, techniques, and outcomes of surgical interventions, such as carotid endarterectomy
05
Understand endovascular approaches, including carotid artery stenting, and their associated risks and benefits
06
Apply multidisciplinary strategies for perioperative care and post-procedure monitoring
07
Educate patients and families about disease management, procedural risks, and long-term follow-up
