    About the Award

    The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) is pleased to inform you of an award opportunity for fellows-in-training. In August of 2007, SCAI Board of Trustees member Gregory Braden, MD, FSCAI tragically passed away. An active researcher, educator and friend to the Society, Dr. Braden was best known for his pioneering work in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), coronary atherectomy, and chronic total occlusions. In keeping with his positive and generous spirit, Dr. Braden’s friends and family have established the Gregory Braden Memorial Fund through the Forsyth Medical Center Foundation in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
