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.

Transradial Training Course |

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

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. |
