Overview

With ever-expanding usage for structural heart procedures and placement of mechanical circulatory support devices, large bore access is an increasingly essential skillset for interventional cardiologists to master.

Expert members of SCAI's Quality Improvement Committee present three new discussions providing practical insight into insertion, maintenance, and closure of large bore catheter access.

Watch the presentations for valuable tips and tricks whether you’re a fellow-in-training, early career physician, or an experienced operator.
