Complications in Interventional Cardiology: Prevention & Management

Training Overview

Complications in Interventional Cardiology: Prevention & Management is an advanced, simulation-based educational program designed for interventional cardiologists, cath lab teams, and fellows aiming to enhance their expertise in identifying, preventing, and managing complications during percutaneous coronary and structural heart procedures. This two-day intensive program focuses on real-world scenarios, decision-making under pressure, and evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes.

The course begins with comprehensive sessions on pathophysiology, risk assessment, and early recognition of common and rare complications encountered during coronary and structural interventions, including coronary perforation, dissection, no-reflow, stent thrombosis, vascular access issues, cardiac tamponade, and device embolization.

Through simulation-based learning, participants engage in realistic cath lab scenarios that replicate acute complications requiring immediate action. Hands-on workshops include hemodynamic stabilization, pericardiocentesis, management of device-related complications, and use of mechanical circulatory support systems (IABP, Impella, ECMO).

Case-based discussions and video analyses of real procedures allow participants to review complex cases, discuss procedural strategies, and explore preventive measures. Each session emphasizes team coordination, complication anticipation, and structured response algorithms under expert supervision.

Interactive panels with experienced faculty provide insights into decision-making, bailout techniques, and post-complication patient management, including long-term follow-up and secondary prevention strategies. By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened their ability to perform safely, anticipate risks, and manage procedural emergencies effectively.
