Millions of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are performed each year around the world to treat obstructive coronary artery disease. In order to access the arteries, interventional cardiologists traditionally use the femoral artery, which is still the most common access route for PCI in the United States. However, access via the radial artery is increasingly common. The transradial approach for PCI was developed 23 years ago and is used in more than 50 percent of procedures in most European countries.

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) can pose a major treatment quandary for clinicians. While massive (high-risk) PE is increasingly recognized as a vascular emergency, submassive (intermediate-risk) PE is not clinically obvious. There also is a lack of guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of intermediate-risk PE, which comprises up to 30 percent of all PEs. We believe better care is delivered when a multidisciplinary team consults on PE treatment options. 

Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta took control of more than $2.5 million in cardiovascular inventory by automating product tracking and utilization. Maximizing revenue, Emory Saint Joseph’s captures all patient charges at the point of care—and manages missing items daily to avoid loss charges.

Multi-Level CTO Course

This congress, translated in English and French languages, is organized on 3-days modules and will be live broadcasted online, on www.incathlab.com:

Module 1 : Dedicated to young operators willing to learn and/or reinforce their CTO knowledge on antegrade basic techniques and strategies.

Module 2 : Dedicated to regular operators willing to master more advanced techniques especially in retrograde access and dissection re-entry.

Controversies & Advances in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: The Sixteenth in the Series

Cardiovascular Disease Management: A Case-Based Approach, 4th Annual Symposium

CHIP: Complex Higher-Risk (And Indicated) Patients

This program is geared toward the interventionalist seeking to better understand complex PCI in the modern era. Presentations will address treatment of left main disease, chronic total occlusions, long lesions, bifurcation lesions, “small vessels,” and saphenous vein grafts. In addition, participants will learn how to manage challenging patient subsets, such as those with advanced heart failure and depressed LVEF, as well as how to provide optimal hemodynamic support.

Duke University researchers have taken a major step towards realizing a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that could record biochemical reactions in the body as they happen.

March 24, 2016 — A new documentary produced by Retro Report for The New York Times looks at the history and modern use of the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAH-t). The 12-minute film, “A Change of Heart,” re-examines this leading story of the past and brings viewers through to today’s news.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new and more accurate way to distinguish between harmful and harmless plaque in the blood vessels by using ultrasound.
