La Jolla Vein Care Doctors Make History, First to Use Live Stream Teaching in San Diego

On Tuesday, January 18, 2022, La Jolla Vein Care doctors were the first in the region to utilize a special type of live streaming technology to teach other physicians. Over a hundred physicians around the globe dialed in to watch Dr. Armin Foghi of La Jolla Vein Care perform endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) procedures using Avail technology to livestream the procedure. Dr. Nisha Bunke of La Jolla Vein Care was the moderator. The live cases included EVLA of a great saphenous vein and of a perforator vein on patients who consented to participate. In addition to teaching, Avail, technology can be used to facilitate collaboration during procedures in real time with other physicians, sharing knowledge about surgical techniques all while bringing together the medical community to advance care for all.
