New York, NY - March 29, 2016 - Physicians and fellows from the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) will be presenting abstracts at the American College of Cardiology 65th Annual Scientific Session taking place April 2-4, 2016 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. They will be sharing the latest data on drug-eluting stents, imaging technologies, dual antiplatelet therapy, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and bioresorbable vascular scaffolds.
CRF will also host a satellite program on complex PCI prior to the start of ACC on Friday, April 1, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM called CHIP: The Interventional Toolbox for Complex Higher-Risk (and Indicated) Patients at the Loews Chicago Hotel (Wright Ballroom, First Floor). Presentations will address treatment of left main disease, chronic total occlusions, long lesions, bifurcation lesions, "small vessels," and saphenous vein grafts. Expert faculty will offer insights into selecting devices and patients, optimizing technique, and overcoming difficult anatomy. The latest clinical data and guidelines for complex, higher-risk procedures will also be reviewed.
CRF physicians are world-renowned experts in the field of interventional cardiology. Gregg W. Stone, MD, Co-Director of Medical Research and Education at CRF, will be presenting an oral abstract on bioresorbable vascular scaffolds on Sunday, April 3 at ACC. Dr. Stone is also Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Director of Cardiovascular Research and Education at the Center for Interventional Vascular Therapy at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
