Mayo Clinic Interventional Cardiology Review Course 2021

Course Learning Objectives
Upon the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe bleeding risk with “triple therapy” post PCI;
• Review  current data regarding dual therapy combinations;
• Review the use of OCT and IVUS in assisting with PCI and plaque assessment;
• Describe coronary physiology;
• Review the principles of CFR, FFR, and iFR;
• Determine reperfusion strategy for STEMI patients who present to facilities without PCI capability;
• Review current evidence for the invasive management of Non-STE- ACS patients;
• Identify the selection criteria and outcome data for Mitral Clip;
• Distinguish the indications, complications, and long-term outcomes of TAVR.

Target Audience
This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists and cardiovascular fellows preparing for the ABIM Interventional Cardiology certification/recertification exam. However, this course also provides a focused state-of-the-art review of interventional cardiology topics for all cardiovascular practitioners and trainees.
