Ongoing -- WakeMed Heart Center
-- Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
Dr. Lee Jobe, colleague of Tift Mann, one of the first cardiologists in
the U.S. to use the radial technique, is offering a one-day course on an "as-requested" basis.
You can read an
exclusive interview with Dr. Jobe on Angioplasty.Org. The
course will consist of a small intimate experience with only 2-3 attendees
at a time. To arrange a date, contact the National Transradial Training
Programs, supported by Medtronic Corporation in partnership with the Patient
Medical Association. For more information, email zimnik@pameas.org or
call 888.508.8554. |

Ongoing -- University of Connecticut
Health Center -- Farmington, Connecticut, USA
Dr. Michael A. Azrin, Director of Cardiac Catheterization and Interventional
Cardiology, states that the University of Connecticut has been providing
demonstration courses for interventional cardiologists interested in radial
access procedures about once a month since December of 2009. The courses
are scheduled based on interest of those seeking training in radial access
or enhancing their skills. For more information, email Dr. Azrin at azrin@nso1.uchc.edu |

| Las Vegas Transradial Summit |
| |
January 28, 2012
-- MGM Grand Hotel -- Las Vega, Nevada,
USA
The Faculty for this course will be Sandeep Nathan, MD, John Lassetter, MD and Branavan Umakanthan, MD. Dr. Paul Zimnik, DO, of the Patient Medical Association (PAMEAS)
writes, "The Transradial Summit programs,
which are held annually in various cities throughout the year are designed
to provide a practical,
in-depth exposure to performance of the transradial technique, its application
in various key patient subsets, relevant technical considerations, and
management of complications. Included will be examination of the recently
published data,
presentation of archived cases with expert commentary, and discussion of current
controversies in the field. Importantly, attendees will also gain practical,
hands-on experience using transradial medical simulation and exposure
to an array of
dedicated transradial devices." More information can be found on the PAMEAS

| Transradial Experts to Meet in Erlangen |
| |
February 10-11, 2012
-- Universitätsklinikum Erlangen -- Erlangen, Germany
A prestigious world-renown faculty has been assembled for this course, including Dr. Ferdinand Kiemeneij who, with the late Lucien Campeau, pioneered the transradial technique for angiography two decades ago. The faculty also includes, Dr. Shigeru Saito from Japan, John Coppola and Ian Gilchrist from the U.S., Martial Hamon from France, Stephan Achenbach from Germany, Tejas Patel from India and more. Organized by Drs. Ludwig, Garlichs, Rittger, and Daniel of Erlangen, this two day course will cover a wide range of topics and will showcase six live case demonstrations.
