For Transition to Practice

Intended Audience

• 4th year Interventional Cardiology Fellows who will transition to their interventional practice

Course Objectives

• Describe the fundamentals of complex coronary interventions and assess indications and limitations of current treatment methods
• Understand the advanced concepts, techniques, and treatment strategies for coronary, structural heart, and peripheral interventions
• Recognize best practices in clinical decision making; including patient selection, diagnosis, and case management of arterial and venous disease
• Identify and develop key analytical and procedural skills through in-depth case review, panel discussion, and hands-on training

These educational programs are hosted by Boston Scientific sales representatives in the local area. A physician expert is invited to speak on one of a variety of subjects. Program topics include SYNERGY™ Coronary Stent System, Chronic Total Occlusions, Complex PCI, Transradial Cardiac Catheterization, PCI Guidance, the BSC Pipeline and Fellows Future, among others. Generally, programs are held in a conference room space at a local restaurant or hotel.

Intended Audience

• Fellows
• Interventional Cardiologists
• Nurses
• Technologists

This program is designed to highlight best clinical practices for Complex PCI and CTO through the optimization of revascularization. This program will be delivered through regional training programs which will embody didactic and case presentations, in addition to hands-on experience with current technology. Through this program, an attendee will be able to obtain sound knowledge on fundamentals around complex coronary intervention, allowing the attendee to explain the rationale for PCI in patients with complex coronary disease. Through discussions around the usage of different tools in optimizing PCI outcomes, the program will provide basic knowledge enhancement on CTO‑PCI. Skills such as the Hybrid Algorithm technique will also be discussed in-depth. Through program content, the attendee will gain knowledge to formulate a step by step procedure on building a complex coronary revascularization program.

Intended Audience

• Interventional Cardiologists
• Fellows
• Lead Nurse or Tech with their Physician*

Course Objectives

• Understand the fundamentals of complex coronary intervention
• Explain the rationale for PCI in patients with complex coronary disease
• Know what tools are available for optimizing PCI outcomes
• Comprehend the basics of CTO‑PCI and the Hybrid Algorithm technique
• Recognize the steps to building a complex coronary revascularization program

This program offers an opportunity for physicians to observe cases with the experts at Complex PCI Training Centers. Through a one day peer-to-peer case observation, attendees will garner expertise and confidence in device utilization, understanding, and decision making to support their patient needs. The program will provide real time open discussions throughout the procedure on cases which require rotational atherectomy, imaging, transradial approach, and other procedures for complex lesions.

Intended Audience

• Interventional Cardiologists
  
• Fellows

Course Objectives

• Understand the application and problem solving requirements needed to address complex coronary disease
• Know what tools are available for optimizing PCI outcomes
• Gain expertise and confidence in devices and procedural decision factors

This program offers an opportunity for physicians to observe cases with an expert, Dr. Samin Sharma of Mt. Sinai Hospital, in PCI coronary atherectomy (ROTABLATOR™ Rotational Atherectomy System). Through peer-to-peer case observation, attendees will garner expertise and confidence in device and decision making to support their patient needs.

Intended Audience

• Interventional Cardiologists
  
• Fellows

Course Objectives

• Understand the application of rotational atherectomy and problem solving requirements needed to address complex coronary disease
• Know what tools are available for optimizing PCI outcomes using rotational atherectomy
