CHICAGO--When pioneering interventional cardiologists introduced angioplasty and stenting more than 20 years ago, few could have imagined that, one day, severely diseased coronary arteries would be propped open virtually end-to-end with tubular metal scaffolding. Fewer still could have envisioned how to dismantle that mesh support system once the artery healed. ...... Dr. Richard S. Stack, profes...SCAI scientific sessions attract world-renowned invasive/interventional cardiologists
More than 200 studies, topical lectures, and case reviews on the latest in cardiovascular care will be presented in Chicago, May 1013, 2006, when the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) convenes its 29th Annual Scientific Sessions.
