Category: Aesthetic Medicine

Instructor(s): Gurnam Singh Virdi

Course structure: Lessons: 2 lessons | Duration: 23 min

Course overview

Acute ischemic events and vascular occlusions are among the most dangerous complications of hyaluronic acid dermal filler procedures, carrying the risk of tissue necrosis and irreversible blindness. This course provides a comprehensive guide to emergency protocols, psychological crisis management, and the anatomical principles underlying vascular complications.

You will explore the detailed pathophysiology of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) and paradoxical emboli, master the precise use of hyaluronidase alongside adjunctive therapies, and implement the specialized

Course lessons

Lesson 1: Vascular Occlusion Pathophysiology, Blindness Risk, and Emergency Protocols

• A deep dive into the high-stakes reality of severe ischemic complications. This lesson covers clinical examples of vascular occlusions and the psychological aspects of handling patient crises. It breaks down the anatomy and pathophysiology of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) and paradoxical proximal emboli, detailing how blindness occurs. Finally, it provides step-by-step instructions on deploying the antidote (hyaluronidase), using management adjuncts, and top tips for complication prevention.
