John Reilly, MD, FSCAI and Writing Committee Vice Chair and SCAI President Ted Bass, MD, FSCAI (right), discuss the newly released Clinical Competence Statement on Coronary Artery Interventional Procedures.

The listed documents on SCAI's Clinical Guidelines & Resources Page have either been developed by the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, or have been jointly produced, collaborated with, or endorsed by the SCAI. The Society's Publications Committee oversees the development, peer-review and opportunity for collaborating with other similar societies.

If you have suggested updates on current clinical guidelines or recommended topics for future publications, please contact Joel Harder at jharder@scai.org.
