TRAnsition for VALUE: SCAI's Transradial Initiative to Maximize the Value of PCI

Summary

The TRAnsition for VALUE initiative was designed to highlight both the clinical and economic advantages of transradial PCI through a multi-faceted approach of didactic modules, webinars, in-person seminars, education toolkits and in-lab training that are targeted to all cath lab key stakeholders to ensure the value of the transradial approach is fully realized across the care pathway.

The TRAnsition for VALUE education curriculum will be guided by the SCAI Quality Improvement Committee and supports SCAI’s consensus statement on transradial best practices.
