Cardiac Revascularization - VIDEO
The goal of cardiac revascularization is to improve survival, minimize complication of ischemia, relieve ischemic symptoms, and improve functional capacity. During this 60-minute webinar, we will cover revascularization strategies that review both percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In addition to the strategies themselves, indications and complications will be reviewed. By attending this program, you will increase your knowledge of various revascularization strategies, including recent practice changes and updates to meet the needs of patients with coronary artery disease and improve their outcomes.
