| cath lab training programs: Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions Peter Lanzer, 2012-08-01 Operator skills, and in particular decision-making and strategic skills, are the most critical factor for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. In this textbook, for the first time, an explicit teaching, training, and learning approach is set out that will enable interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, to learn about and to develop the cognitive skills required in order to achieve consistent expert-level catheter-based interventions. It is anticipated that adoption of this approach will allow catheter-based interventions to become a domain of excellence, with rapid transfer of knowledge, steep learning curves, and highly efficient acquisition of complex skills by individual operators — all of which are essential to meet successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care. |

| cath lab training programs: Different Drummer Douglass Andrew Morrison, 2021-11-04 Andreas Gruentzig performed the first coronary artery balloon angioplasty (plasty) in 1977. Shortly after that, Doug completed his medical education and training and determined to contribute to the field Gruentzig’s work had spawned. In 1984, just as things were taking off, Doug developed a cervical disc with neurologic impairment of his right arm. That’s when his neurosurgeons broke the bad news: his interventional cardiology career was over. Or was it? Doug elected physical therapy including cervical traction rather than the proposed surgery. The career disruption elicited a deep depression. This prompted him to seek psychiatric care. It also made him aware of the steep price many people in his field were paying for repeated exposures to life-and-death situations. This created a dilemma akin to soldiers in battle, including the associated problems of burnout, depression, substance abuse, PTSD, and suicide. Over months, the neurologic and psychologic symptoms improved. Defying the experts’ predictions, he was able to resume an interventional cardiology career and follow in the footsteps of many cardiac interventional and surgical heroes. As he describes in chapter 12: “My high-risk plasty career could not have occurred without two things: • the shared courage of many of my high-risk patients and their families, and • the psychiatric care I received throughout much of my medical practice.” Doug’s cardiology practice included thirty-one years of care for American veterans in four different university-affiliated Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals. The culmination of his academic and VA career was a five-year (1995–2000), sixteen-hospital, VA Cooperative randomized clinical trial. The Angina With Extremely Serious Operative Mortality Evaluation (AWESOME) trial and registry compared plasty with bypass surgery for high-risk patients with acute coronary syndromes. Doug followed his academic stint with fourteen years of private practice in rural America, where he applied the AWESOME hypothesis in the real world. Today, coronary angioplasty with stents has become the standard emergency care for acute myocardial infarction and other medically refractory, acute coronary syndromes. This book recounts the role Doug played in the plasty revolution, the price he paid for his success, the debt he owes to many heroes, and his hopes for the future for patients and care providers. |

| cath lab training programs: Percutaneous Intervention for Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Stéphane Rinfret, 2015-09-25 A practical and technical handbook providing operators with a step-by-step description of how to perform some of the techniques involved in the procedures, and how to troubleshoot some of the problems along the way. Examples with pictures will be provided, along with live angiographies. At the end of each chapter, the author will be provided with 3 questions to answer. Those questions will be developed by the editor and the contributors. The idea is to provide a quick reference to the most current problems encountered with a specific issue developed in the chapter. Nowadays, the busy clinician is unlikely to exclusively rely on lengthy textbooks to learn specific complex techniques. That is one of the reasons for the popularity of CTO courses, live demonstrations, and conferences and, there are consequently many courses offered around the world to help new operators in the field. CTO PCI has emerged as a very effective procedure to help patients with CTOs, with very high success and low complications rates. It is however a very challenging procedure with multiple pitfalls along the way to success, both in specific cases, but also in the learning process. There are currently no single reference or one-stop shop for the operator who wants to learn a given technique that he or she may has seen performed live in a dedicated proctorship event, or in a live demonstration, or to even troubleshoot a problem encountered in daily CTO PCI practice. This will be the first handbook formatted for the busy interventional cardiologist. This book will become a “must have” for operators who are practicing CTO PCI and who want a quick reference. However, it will also provide tips and tricks currently used in the field. |
