Overview
Stroke prevention in interventional cardiology is a unique portion of an interventional cardiologist practice given procedural indications are centered on prevention over acute therapy. In this webinar, learners will review best practices and state-of-the-art developments in the technical aspects of these procedures which require extreme precision given the focus on prevention. The information from the webinar can be applied to the cath lab to further minimize risk of ASDPFO and LAa closure and improve the patient experience.
