PCI Manual podcast

When you encounter a significant challenge or complication during cardiac catheterization and PCI calling one or more experienced operators can help find the best possible solution.

Why measuring LVEDP can literally save your patient's life!

How to make the cath lab activation an inspirational experience.

Why being in the cath lab is never boring!

Why you should look at the pressure waveform before and after every injection.

Every catheterization case is an experiment. How to maximize the likelihood of success.

Looking at the various inputs during cardiac catheterization and PCI should not merely mean directing our eyes towards them. Looking should be the precursor of seeing, i.e. understanding what these inputs (ECG, pressure waveform, angiogram, etc) mean and what (if anything) should be done about them.

Efficient PCI can improve the success and safety of the procedure.

Failure is not the opposite of success - in contrast, failure is often a requirement for success.

Cardiac catheterization and PCI is a team effort.
