Fellows participating in the current MCVI Fellowship Program will present results of their research at the Institute. Topics include standardization of antiplatelet and anticoagulation protocols; endovascular interventions in tibial vessels; lithotripsy as a therapy for calcific arterial lesions in lower extremiites; critical analysis of paclitaxel-coated devices in the treatment of PDA and utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in detection of endoleaks.
Target Audience
Radiologists, Pulmonologists, Thoracic Surgeons, Imaging Services Administration, Baptist Health Executives, Hospitalists, Family Medicine Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Respiratory Therapists, Radiologic Technologists, and all interested allied health professionals.
Learning Objectives
- Review Societal and national standards for protocols for anticoagulation in patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures.

- Summarize recommendations for the use of drug-eluting devices during endovascular procedures.
- Demonstrate the use value and indications for contrast enhanced ultrasound for vascular diagnosis.
- Review the concept of intravascular lithoplasty and outline the clinical indications for this new technology.
- Teach the techniques for using intravascular lithoplasty.
- Summarize outcomes of tibial interventions in patients with critical limb ischemia.
