On Jan. 10, 2024, Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology presented a webinar on "Contrast Management in Modern PCI."
Dr. Aditya Sharma, MD, MBA, FACC, FSCAI, an interventional cardiologist from Wellspan Health in Central Pennsylvania is the presenter. The webinar is sponsored by ACIST Medical Systems.
In the cardiac cath lab, the use of iodinated contrast in both diagnostic and PCI procedures is commonplace. The effects of iodinated contrast on renal function have been known and researched. However, conversations are ongoing around best practices and standards of care regarding contrast management and treatment for those with higher risk factors, like compromised renal function. Participate in this webinar to gain insight on the topic of contrast-induced kidney injury and how one could approach contrast management in modern PCI with use of the ACIST CVi Contrast Delivery System.
Learning Objectives
- Understand basic mechanisms of contrast induced kidney injury.
- Determine incidence of disease along with long term patient and economic implications.
- Review risk factors determining higher risk populations.
- Evaluate device strategy in modern era to mitigate risk and promote procedural
- efficiency and safety.
- Case review of use of the ACIST CVi Contrast Delivery System in high risk patient.
Dr. Sharma is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and interventional cardiology, having completed both residency and fellowship programs at George Washington University - School of Medicine and Hospital. He chose a career in medicine to be able to help others while being able to continuously enrich his skills and apply learned scientific knowledge.
