Course curriculum

  • Duplex assessment of lower extremity arterial disease
  • Protocols per ESVS 2022, stenosis criteria by PSV and Velocity Ratio
  • Features of distal assessment and spectrum interpretation in occlusion and reconstruction
  • Arteries after angioplasty and stenting
  • Diagnosis of restenosis and hemodynamics in the intervention zone
  • Comparison of velocity parameters in native and stented vessels
  • Non-atherosclerotic diseases of the lower extremity arteries
  • FMD, adventitial cysts, medial calcinosis, vasculitides
  • Spectral signs, differential diagnosis, interpretation errors
  • Aortoiliac segment lesions: inflow, GLASS, runoff
  • Technique for identifying inflow lesions
  • PSV thresholds, VR, runoff assessment, and principles of GLASS classification
  • Lower extremity arteries and PAT: modern assessment of perfusion
  • Integration of PAT (Pulse Acceleration Time) into ischemia assessment
  • Combining PAT with ABI and WIfI for limb loss risk stratification
  • Nomenclature and variants of describing venous pathology
  • Modern CEAP terminology, compartments, saphenous and non-saphenous trunks, perforators
  • Correct report construction and designation of reflux sources
  • Spectrum interpretation in the common femoral vein
  • Algorithm for phasicity analysis, detection of EIV/CIV obstructions
  • Examples of post-thrombotic changes and their reflection in the report
  • Acute or chronic thrombosis: a modern view
  • Modern SRU 2018 / SFMV 2024 classification
  • Signs of thrombus organization, recurrence criteria, wording of conclusions
  • Provocation of venous reflux
  • Physiological maneuvers (Valsalva, augmentation, Paraná test)
  • Time-based diagnostic thresholds for different venous segments
  • Key information for the phlebologist (DEAR principle)
  • The DEAR principle (Depth – Evaluation – Anatomy – Reflux)
  • Minimum dataset for choosing ablation or sclerotherapy tactics
  • Complications after venous interventions
  • EHIT, PASTE, EGIT (ESVS 2022): post-ablation changes and follow-up tactics
  • How to describe thrombosis in the coagulation zone and formulate the conclusion correctly

An expert course that turns routine scanning into a precise diagnostic tool. You will learn to systematically assess venous hemodynamics — from the CEAP nomenclature to complications after ablations — and to classify lesions by WIfI.

The result is reports that a vascular surgeon relies on when choosing treatment tactics.

Scientific director of MEDTRAIN. 22 years of clinical work in ultrasound diagnostics; 13+ years of training physicians: from basic echocardiography to expert vascular ultrasound and functional diagnostics.

Core competencies

  • Echocardiography (quantitative chamber assessment, diastole, valvular defects, prostheses, GLS/Strain).
  • Vascular ultrasound (carotid territory, transcranial studies, arteries/veins of the lower extremities, visceral and renal vessels, post-procedural states).
  • Abdominal ultrasound, obstetrics and gynecology (basic and advanced protocols).
  • Internal quality audit and report standardization.

Educational track

  • Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency — Gulfcoast, 2021.
  • Best of Echo Florida, 2022.
  • Adult Echocardiography — Gulfcoast, 2022.
  • OB/GYN Ultrasound Registry Review — Gulfcoast, 2022.

Memberships and roles

  • Member of AIUM (The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine).
  • President of the Eurasian Association of Ultrasound and Functional Diagnostics Specialists.

Teaching approach

  • Only validated protocols and clear if/then algorithms.
  • Plenty of demonstrations and analysis of real cases.
  • Measurement checklists and report templates ready for audit.
  • A clear link between «criterion → clinical decision» so that your reports are accepted at the MDT without questions.

What participants gain

  • A working system: what to measure, how to index, how to formulate conclusions.
  • A materials package: checklists, normal-value tables, report templates.
  • Feedback and support in the chat.
