PDFs of the presentations given to fellows this year, organized by Topic below:

Acute Coronary Syndrome/Ischemic Heart Disease

Introduction to Cath (Larry Dean 7/7/23) - amazing slide deck introducing the new fellow to the Cath Lab given by one of the biggest legends in Interventional Cardiology, Dr. Larry Dean. This covers everything from the pre-procedural evaluation, vascular access, catheter selection, cath views, and post-procedure care.

Advanced Coronary Angiography, Catheter Selection, Valve Fluoroscopy, & Anomalous Coronaries (Creighton Don, 7/7/2023) - this was a great overview of the advanced cath views and how to adjust your camera angle to improve images and reduce overlap. Also a good review of catheter selection and troubleshooting.

Coronary hemodynamics (Jake Doll 7/28/23) - a deep dive into the basis of FFR and iFR and the trials that support their use to guide re-vascularization (FAME1, FAME2, RIPCORD 2, FLOWER MI), overall resulting in fewer PCI procedures and composite MACE.

STEMI recognition (Kenta Nakamura, 8/4/23) - great slide deck with lots of cool patient cases and coronary angiograms. This is a link to the actual powerpoint so you can watch the vidoes! PDF version here.

Heart Failure/Transplant

Introduction to Transplant & On Call Emergencies (April Stempien-Otero, 7/14/24) - this was a fantastic into talk on ACR and AMR grading, how we evaluate for rejection and treat it, common infections post-transplant, and transplant vasculopathy.

Post-Transplant Management (Elina Minami, 7/14/24) - very detailed and wonderful overview of the immediate post operative management of transplant patients, including primary graft dysfunction, arrhythmias, and acute rejection. The end of the talk has slides that we didn’t have time to cover, about chronic immunosuppression, infection and malignancy, and CAV surveillance.

Heart Transplant Process (Lisa Guertin, 7/21/23) - Lisa helps demystify the transplant process! She wonderfully explains the different OPO regions, how donor suitability is assessed, UNOS transplant statuses, how organs are accepted, and also briefly discusses the pre-transplant care planning.
