Video Transcription

Video Summary

John Lisker discussed Emory's brachytherapy and stent failure management program, emphasizing its rapid growth and the comprehensive approach to addressing stent failures, particularly in the Southeast. The program, led by Lisker and Prathik Sandesara, includes two dedicated MDs, a coordinator for patient management, and in-depth education for staff. They utilize therapies like brachytherapy, drug-coated balloon therapy, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions. The program follows a standardized, algorithmic approach, with long-term follow-up, aiming to generate meaningful data for improved patient outcomes.
