What this episode covers

In this episode of BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Ally Behati invites interventional cardiologist Dr. Thomas Davis, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at St. John Hospital and Medical Center, to discuss re-entry devices, with a focus on the Pioneer Plus Catheter. Dr. Davis shares his experience in using the Pioneer Plus, an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided re-entry catheter in treating critical limb ischemia (CLI), especially in cases where it is difficult to stay intraluminal. He explains a novel ‘reorientation technique’, which allows proceduralists to remain in the true lumen while treating a chronic total occlusion. Dr. Davis also describes his workflow and decision points about when to reach for the catheter. To finish the episode, he covers post-procedure patient management, imaging follow up, and opportunities to learn more about treatment of peripheral vascular disease. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Philips Pioneer Plus https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HCIGTDPPLUS/pioneer-plus-ivus-guided-re-entry-catheter --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 Introduction to the Back Table Podcast 02:09 Dr. Davis’ Practice in CLI Treatment 04:18 The Decision to Use the Pioneer Plus Catheter 07:31 The Reorientation Technique for Staying in the True Lumen 11:49 Using Intravascular Ultrasound to Guide Your Wire 17:33 Learning and Troubleshooting with IVUS 21:48 Preparing for Subintimal Work 28:26 Post-Procedural Management and Imaging 30:12 Advice for Proceduralists in the CLI Space --- RESOURCES Pioneer Plus Re-Entry Catheter: https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HCIGTDPPLUS/pioneer-plus-ivus-guided-re-entry-catheter Outback Re-Entry Catheter: https://cordis.com/na/products/cross/endovascular/outback-elite-re-entry-catheter Enteer Re-Entry Catheter https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/healthcare-professionals/products/cardiovascular/chronic-total-occlusion-devices/enteer.html The Amputation Prevention Symposium (AMP) Meeting: https://www.hmpglobalevents.com/amptheclimeeting
