Wrist Angioplasty Up-Close: New York Style
For physicians (and others) who are interested
in seeing an advanced PCI case using the transradial or wrist approach,
tune in tomorrow morning at 8:00am to this month's Interventional
Cardiology Live Case Study Series from
Mount Sinai
Medical
Center (these live cases are hosted on theheart.org -- subscription
required).
Tomorrow's case will be a 65-year-old man and
the plan is to perform PCI of his distal Left Main and LAD obstructions
using stents delivered
via the radial approach. The case operator will be Dr. Shamin Sharma
of Mount Sinai and the moderator Dr. Sameer Mehta of University of
Miami Medical Center. Dr. Mehta's recent LUMEN-AMI program featured
the use of the transradial approach in STEMI. You can read our
exclusive interview with Dr. Mehta on Angioplasty.Org.
And for patients who are trying to find an interventional
cardiologist experienced in using the radial approach, check out
Angioplasty.Org's Transradial
Hospital Locator.
