Training in Transradial Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Interventions
           January 22, 2010 -- Conroe Regional Medical Center Heart and Vascular Institute -- Conroe, Texas, USA
Course director, Sanjaykumar Patel, MD, FACC, is delighted to present a comprehensive course to provide the femoral operator with all the necessary basics for starting a transradial program at their catheterization laboratory. It will also have advance techniques for the more experienced operator. The course will be taught by Dr. Patel who has experience in this technique since 2003 and performing more than 95% of his cases transradially including coronary interventions. The course will have special emphasis on technique, basics, choice of guide catheters and coronary interventions. The course will be conducted in Cath lab with live cases and one to one interaction.

           February 10, 2010 -- Winter Haven Hospital -- Winter Haven, Florida, USA
Dr. Zaheed Tai has been conducting a quarterly transradial training course for technologists and physicians since last year -- a course which is now being conducted every one month, due to overwhelming demand. The Winter Haven course is hands-on for physician with a Florida license (Florida doesn't grant temporary licenses to out-of-state physicians, although out-of-staters are welcome to come and observe). The one-day course involves 6-10 cases (coronary with some peripheral via transradial) and is limited to two physicians, so that each gets sufficient hands-on time with access and catheter selection. There is also a didactic component consisting of about 45 minutes of relaxed discussions and case reviews. The course is supported by Terumo. To register or get more information, contact Sandra L. Schaffer, Terumo Interventional Systems, Phone: 732-302-4954 or email: sandra.schaffer@terumomedical.com

Peripheral Angioplasty and All That Jazz
           April 21-23, 2010 -- Sheraton New Orleans Hotel -- New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
This year's annual All That Jazz 2010 will focus on clinical areas in which the interventionist’s role in caring for patients will continue to expand in the next decade. Plus, our experts will examine the role of both physicians and nurses in managing patients in the current patient-unfriendly medical environment, with emphasis on governmental, regulatory, and insurance aspects. "Radial Access for Peripheral and Coronary Interventions" is noted as a highlighted feature. Rather than a dedicated section on transradial, the organizers have told Angioplasty.Org that many of the live cases will be done using radial access, so there will be ongoing content and discussion by the panelists.
