BackTable Vascular and Interventional

We just unlocked our latest course on Prostate Artery Embolizations on BackTable+! It's free and open access, supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Guerbet. Through a series of BackTable "pickups" from interviews and live case presentations, participants will gain insights into various aspects of PAE, including procedural techniques, patient management, and best practices. Docs will enhance their understanding of PAE principles, refine their procedural skills, and gain confidence in delivering high-quality care to patients with BPH.
