Congrats to Alex Fanaroff from Penn Cardiology for being selected as a 2024-2026 SCAI Now ELM fellow!

Alex is a rare interventionalist who also leads a research program funded by NIH NHLBI & AHA Science.

Excited to see his continued contributions to SCAI & cardiology at large.

This is a natural consequence of a market that includes:

1) high-margin publishers using a free labor force

2) malincentives regarding the “value of research” in post graduate training

3) broken academic promotion system at universities

Predation is widespread.

Congratulations to these superstars! SCAI Now is proud to help support your research. Special thanks to Edwards Lifesciences Medtronic Shockwave Medical for their generous support.

1/ Early graft failure. Most would usually say treat the native…but what do you do if the graft is still patent but degenerative and may be causing embolic phenomena?

❓Not much data or guidance here.

⛓️Coil or leave it alone?

My strategy for this one- coil it

My personal take to the new board based on what we know now:

👍direct response to ABIM charging high fees, perceived double dipping, lack of accountability (tone deaf), overreach (choosing wisely and other irrelevant campaigns to mission of certification), changing rules…

🎉 Announcing the recipient of the #TCT2024 Career Achievement Award: Dr. Robert Harrington! 🏆

🌟 Congratulations are in order for his remarkable impact on interventional cardiology, pioneering advancements in patient care, research excellence, and invaluable mentorship. 🙌…
