We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow for our special 20th Anniversary VIA Symposium! The day begins with registration from 7:15 AM-8 AM, a continental breakfast, and exhibits.

This year's symposium focuses on amputation prevention, one of health care's greatest challenges. Major lower-extremity amputation carries a five-year mortality rate approaching that of one of our most aggressive cancers, lung cancer. Early diagnosis, early referral, and a multidisciplinary team approach are the keys to successful amputation prevention.

As we celebrate 20 years of the VIA Symposium, our message remains unchanged: patients come first. By learning from one another and working together across specialties, we can optimize patient care, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and amputations, and improve the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for being part of this milestone celebration!

Warm regards,

Azher Iqbal, MD
Chairman, VIA Symposium
President & Medical Director, Buffalo Vascular Care

Tomorrow is the deadline to register for the milestone 20th Annual VIA Symposium! They'll be so much to explore Saturday, October 10 at Salvatore's Grand Hotel in Depew.

The mission of the VIA Foundation has remained constant: to bring knowledge of the newest minimally invasive image-guided therapies to primary care physicians, to foster collaboration, and to elevate patient care.

Many of the therapies to be presented are not routinely covered within individual specialty meetings. Through the generosity of the VIA Foundation and our industry partners, we are proud to provide this educational experience, allowing clinicians from many disciplines to learn together and strengthen the referral relationships that ultimately benefit our patients.

Do you have:
Varicose veins
Legs that ache, feel tired, and feel heavy
Swollen legs
Restless legs at night
Darkening of the skin over your shins, calves, and feet?

You could have venous insufficiency - your legs are having trouble pumping blood back to your heart. And it can get progressively worse without proper treatment.

People with mobility-related disabilities and neuromuscular conditions are at particularly high risk, but Buffalo Vascular Care offers a variety of minimally-invasive procedures to help you maintain your best health possible.

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins caused by faulty valves pooling blood in the legs.

For people with physical or neuromuscular disabilities, reduced mobility drastically worsens vein health, requiring proactive management to prevent severe pain, swelling, ulcers, and clots.

Did you know Buffalo Vascular Care offers a variety of minimally-invasive procedures to treat varicose veins?

This Disability Pride Month, be aware and be proactive. Call 716-852-1977 for an appointment to talk about your options or visit buffalovascularcare.com.
