Ehtisham Mahmud, M.D., division chief of cardiovascular medicine, director of interventional cardiology and the cardiac cath lab at the University of California at San Diego Health, explains how cath lab robotic systems may soon enable interventionalists to perform emergency stroke thrombectomy in patients hundreds of miles away. Corindus/Siemens Healthineers is developing its Corpath GRX robotic system to enable remote telemedicine procedures. Mahmud said this could help significantly improve access to acute stroke care interventions in rural areas.
Today, the standard of care for stroke is similar to STEMI heart attacks from 40 years ago where tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is administered in attempts to break up the clot causing ischemic strokes. Outcomes in STEMI greatly improved in the late 1980s and 1990s with the proliferation of angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) stenting procedures, which became the standard of care in cardiology. Mahmud said acute stroke interventions are following a similar path, but there just are not enough neuro-interventional operators to create large networks for stroke similar to what is now established for STEMI.
He said the Corpath robotic interventions are already conducted remotely from across the room in the cath lab. The idea is that it does not matter if a patient is 10 feet away in the same room or 200 miles away at a smaller hospital to conduct these procedures. This could go a long way to overcoming vast healthcare disparities in smaller, rural hospitals that are far removed from larger centers that are better equipped, and more importantly, have the specialities needed for these procedures.
Once this technology is cleared for use, Mahmud said cardiologists already have the technical skills to perform emergency thrombectomies, but need to learn more about the neuro-vascular bed and how to deal with any adverse events during or after a procedure. He said this lays the ground for creating neuro-cardiology partnerships or care teams to enable this type of care in the near future.

Economic decision-makers appreciate our ability to demonstrate the value of therapeutic intervention.
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.
-

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.

As part of DAIC's continuing Thought Leadership Series, this month Editorial Director Melinda Taschetta-Millane sits down with Philip B. Adamson, MD, MSc, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, to talk about health equity — starting at the beginning of clinical trials, and including how medical device manufacturers need a clear roadmap from the get-go to achieve success.
As Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, Dr. Adamson will spearhead efforts to drive awareness and appropriate use of Barostim therapy among clinicians. He will guide comprehensive medical education, outreach and guideline integration initiatives to establish Barostim as the standard of care for patients with heart failure. Dr. Adamson previously was with Abbott Laboratories, where he served as Divisional Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Heart Failure division. A renowned expert in heart failure, he has nearly three decades of experience in academia as a professor and as a practicing cardiologist, during which time he authored over 150 manuscripts and book chapters. Dr. Adamson earned his MD with distinction from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and MSc in physiology from the University of Oklahoma.
His clinical interests focus on developing more efficient and effective disease management systems for patients with chronic heart failure, specifically focusing on remote monitoring of physiologic signals from implanted devices. He has also served as the principal investigator on the steering committees of several large randomized clinical trials over the past decade.
