Transradial Angiography and Intervention Workshop for Fellows

Presented by the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center

Wednesday, September 8, 2010
7:30am - 4:30pm
University of Illinois - Chicago, IL

Transradial vascular access is one of the hottest topics in interventional medicine today. With an anticipated ten-fold increase in its utilization in the US over the next few years, the benefits from this procedure in reducing costs and bleeding complications and increasing patient satisfaction have heightened the interest of many interventionalists in incorporating it into their practices.
