Become a Better Interventionalist by Learning From Complications

This program is geared toward the interventionalist seeking to better understand complex PCI in the modern era. Presentations will focus on ischemic cardiomyopathy and revascularization techniques, arterial grafts, SVG, Drug-Eluting Stents and surgical considerations of high risk patients. 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. The use of simulator training will enhance the learning experience for interventionalists and fellows. Expert faculty will offer insights into selecting devices and patients, optimizing technique, and overcoming difficult anatomy. The latest clinical data and guidelines for complex, higher-risk procedures also will be reviewed. Finally, attendees will learn how to build a CHIP (complex and higher-risk indicated patients) program at their own institution.
