Synopsis

Dr. Secemsky believes that drug coated technology is a game-changer in the endovascular space since it improves patient outcomes by reducing the risk of needing additional procedures. Dr. Secemsky highlights the importance of various trials such as IMPERIAL and EMINENT, which compare the effectiveness of different stents. He also speaks about the significance of the Cook Medical prediction model to calculate intervention success rates and the role of disease site-specific interventions. Dr. Secemsky ends the podcast by sharing his thoughts about advancements in the near future, including the use of bioabsorbable stents and sirolimus drug-coated balloons.
