Transradial Angioplasty
Activities at TCT 2009
|
 |
 |
|
September 16, 2009 --
This year's Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT)
meeting
in San Francisco will host a number of symposia and workshops
highlighting the growing use of the transradial (wrist) approach
to angioplasty, stenting and diagnostic catheterizations.
The
centerpiece of the weeklong activities is "The Transradial
Angiography and Intervention Seminar" comprising an entire
afternoon with twenty-three separate presentations by global
leaders in the field. |
Three years ago, Angioplasty.Org created the "Radial
Access Center": a special section, dedicated to
promoting and informing professionals and patients
about the transradial approach to PCI, a procedure used 40-50% of
the time worldwide, yet
only
3-5% of the time in the United States. Since then, U.S. interest
in the transradial approach has been steadily growing, aided by a
number of clinical studies showing a safety advantage to the technique.
However, past national meetings have offered little or no information
or training to healthcare professionals about transradial. This year's
TCT marks a definite and welcome change to the status quo
and will provide an impetus for the continuing growth of transradial
PCI in
the U.S.
In addition to the scheduled activities that are
part of the TCT, Terumo
Interventional Systems, manufacturer of radial-specific
equipment,
will be sponsoring
a special
evening
dinner symposium on Thursday, titled "Transradial PCI: America
is Ready. Are You?". You
can register for the evening symposium here.
The main events are listed below:
