Overview

Watch this TIO breakout on-demand for a discussion on the benefits of incorporating orbital atherectomy into your practice. Viewers will learn proper patient selection, treatment best practices, along with a review of the clinical data.

 

The presenters will share real-world case examples and how they have been successful in optimising outcomes in complex calcified lesions using orbital atherectomy’s dual mechanism of action to treat a broad range of calcium.

Prof Nicolas Maria Van Mieghem is an Interventional cardiologist at Thoraxcenter, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, NL decided to pursue a career that would help others. “I enjoy the feeling of being able to help someone or do something important for them". His father was a general cardiologist and one of his biggest influences early in his career.

Prof Van Mieghem initially intended to train as a cardiac surgeon but decided to specialise in interventional cardiology instead, following advice from a mentor. This decision was cemented when he read the first-in-human case report of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in Circulation by Alain Cribier in 2002. Prof Van Mieghem believes that great cardiologist genuinely cares for their patients. He names Gary Roubin, Dr Manu Malbrain and Professor Patrick Serruys among his mentors. 

His current research focuses on cerebral embolic protection during TAVI and the search for improved…
