Morrison Vein Institute Selected by American College of Phlebology as the Sole Training Site for Prestigious Advanced Practical Symposium, Sept. 14-15.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Affirming its position as one of the country's premier vein treatment centers, Morrison Vein Institute has been selected to conduct onsite training sessions for the Advanced Practical Symposium sponsored by the American College of Phlebology (ACP), September 14-15, 2007. The training will take place at Morrison Vein Institute's Scottsdale and Tempe, Ariz. locations.

ACP chose Morrison Vein Institute to provide clinical training because its physicians and nurses are recognized as top experts in treating vein disease and to take advantage of Morrison Vein's leading-edge, comprehensive technology that includes almost all available modalities to treat vein disorders such as spider veins and varicose veins. Attendees will also learn how to customize vein treatment for patients to achieve the best possible outcomes.

"The Morrison Vein Institute is the perfect venue to provide hands-on teaching for physicians and healthcare professionals who seek to deliver the best possible patient care," says Bruce A. Sanders, C.A.E., executive director of the American College of Phlebology. "Its state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff will assist the symposium faculty in delivering a high-quality educational experience."

After recognizing the need for more advanced training in treating vein disease, ACP created the symposium to provide direct, hands-on instruction in a small group environment and appointed MVI founder Nick Morrison, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.C.Ph., as this year's program chairperson. Attendance for this elite, intensive two-day workshop is limited to 50 physicians and nurses requiring advanced practical experience for in-office diagnosis and treatment of diseased veins.

"We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from the American College of Phlebology and to host and provide training at this event," says Dr. Morrison, a surgeon and well-renowned leader in the effective treatment of vein disease. "We are proud to open our doors to a very select group of highly experienced vein specialists who are dedicated to sharing medical knowledge and techniques related to the treatment of vein disorders."

Using the most advanced equipment available, Nick Morrison, M.D., Charles Rogers, M.D., James McEown, M.D., and their team of registered nurses will perform minimally invasive clinical demonstrations on live patients to treat veins, including:

* Duplex ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, which injects liquid or foam sclerosants into diseased veins to seal them.

* Ambulatory phlebectomy, which removes unwanted veins through tiny incisions.

* Endovenous laser ablation, which uses pulses of light to collapse veins.

* Endovenous radiofrequency ablation, which uses radiofrequency energy to collapse veins.

Because ultrasound plays a major role in vein treatment, Morrison Vein Institute has partnered with CompuDiagnostics, Inc., clinical ultrasound specialists, to conduct demonstrations at the symposium. In a recent study, CompuDiagnostics' advanced equipment identified 36 percent more underlying causes of vein disease than other imaging equipment.

Dr. Morrison and four of Morrison Vein Institute's registered nurses will speak at the 21st Annual ACP Congress in Tucson, Nov. 8-11, 2007. He also has been selected as an ACP delegate and has been invited to speak at the 49th Annual Meeting of the German Society of Phlebology on Sept. 27, 2007.
