Transradial Angioplasty
at TCT 2010

The
Transradial Session at
TCT 2009
overflowed
into the hallway |

September
13, 2010 --
This year's Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT)
meeting, being held in Washington DC on September 21-25, will
be hosting a number of sessions featuring the transradial
approach to angioplasty, in which a catheter
is inserted through the radial artery in the wrist instead
of
the femoral artery in the groin.
Last fall's TCT in San Francisco saw attendance at the
transradial session swell from the scheduled 130 seat conference
room to almost 400 cardiologists, overflowing into a hastily
arranged
neighboring room, as well as standing in the corridor
outside (see our editor's blog posting, "SRO
at the Wrist Angioplasty Seminar -- Transradial is Hot").
|
In response to this increasing interest in transradial
from both patients and cardiologists, as well as the growing body
of clinical evidence demonstrating lower complication rates with
the wrist approach,
the TCT is kicking off Thursday's Concurrent Sessions with a four-hour
program, titled "Transradial
Angiography and Intervention."
The full program agenda is
listed below, and covers subjects from patient comfort to cath
lab set up, economic impact, complications and reviews of the
latest clinical trials.
The presenters include leading interventional cardiologists
in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom who practice the
transradial approach, many of whom are profiled in Angioplasty.Org's "Transradial
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. |

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 Friday, titled "America, Transradial
is Here: Clinical and Economic Considerations".
You can register for the evening symposium here.
The transradial events for TCT 2010 are listed
