Cath Lab

The catheterization lab channel includes content related to interventional technologies for coronary and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Other cath lab transcatheter device technologies covered on this page included percutaneous treatment for stroke, venous interventions, heart valves, hypertension, heart failure and percutenous coronary interventions (PCI).

The two top DAIC stories in September included the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to perform echocardiograms of COVID-19 patients rather than wheeling in larger systems that are more difficult to sanitize. The second top story was on a new trial for Abbott's bioresorbable stent for below-the-knee (BTK) peripheral artery disease lesions. This is a resumption of bioresorbable stent clinical research since the Absorb stent was taken off the market in 2017.
