ON-DEMAND Webinar: Contrast Management in Modern PCI

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 was 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.

ON-DEMAND Webinar: Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Contrast Utilization in the Cath Lab

Preventing contrast induced nephropathy and managing patients with chronic kidney disease remain major challenges in the cardiac catheterization lab. In recent years, contrast supply shortages have presented a new challenge to care delivery. When considering these challenges, and as quality metrics in our labs face more scrutiny, there are existing technologies and best practices such as a variable rate contrast delivery systems and HD IVUS that can be used to manage workflow and improve patient outcomes.

The ACC Interventional Council’s recent statement recommending that intracoronary imaging be a routine part of clinical practice further reinforces the need for adoption of intracoronary. Using a case-based approach, the faculty will demonstrate how to use the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system, HDi high definition IVUS and diagnostic and post-PCI physiologic assessment to reduce contrast usage, improve AKI rates and deliver optimized patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will understand that high-quality care starts at the point of education and can transform cardiovascular imaging. Attendees will see how optimized workflows can improve quality and will be able to:

To understand the benefits of implementing a variable rate contrast delivery system in the cath lab.
To understand the clinical benefits of HD IVUS utilization and how to implement a standardized workflow for effective use.
To understand how HD IVUS and physiologic testing can be used to improve patient outcomes and reduce contrast utilization.

ON-DEMAND webinar: How to Transform Imaging with Behavioral Science

Behavioral science is being applied in unique ways for enterprise-imaging product design.

Behavioral science is the study of human behavior. It’s a mix of psychology, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and economics. Using a data-driven, human-centered approach, behavioral science helps uncover what people have done in the past and tries to predict — and often change — how they’ll behave in the future.

In this webinar, leading healthcare experts will discuss how observation, interviews, and experimentation can help the industry form a better understanding of current customer needs and pain points within cardiovascular imaging. Having clinicians involved in the product-design process has led to the complete rearchitecting of a next-generation hemodynamics solution.

Using a real-world scenario, we’ll share a clinician’s experience working with behavioral science and product-development teams, provide an understanding of how they’re using hemodynamics today, and get their thoughts on the future of imaging and hemodynamics.

By listening to key stakeholders, new features can be brought to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate. By building better products, we can help improve patient outcomes and ultimately transform the healthcare industry — one behavior at a time.

Learning Objectives

How a next-generation hemodynamics system has implemented 19 user-centric concepts and undergone iterative testing with healthcare providers.
How physicians, technicians, nurses and administrators are providing their expertise to bring new features to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate.
What a next-generation hemodynamics system can do to keep pace with new technology innovations in cardiovascular care and increasing clinical demands.
