Pediheart Podcast #253: Live From SCAI 2023 - Recanalization Of Obstructed Central Veins In Children

In this week's episode from SCAI 2023, Dr. Aimee Armstrong of Nationwide Children's Hospital joins Dr. Pass in a live session from the annual scientific sessions of SCAI. Professor of Pediatrics at UC Davis, Dr. Frank Ing, reviews his experience with recanalization of central veins in a large pediatric cohort. Who is a candidate for this intervention? When are stents preferred vs. angioplasty alone? Should all patients having central lines removed be evaluated to prevent venous occlusion? What sort of radiation dose is associated with this intervention? Dr. Ing shares his deep knowledge in a live "Pediheart" session from Phoenix, Arizona on 5/19/23 at SCAI 2023. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jscai.2022.100547
