Venue to be announcedCRT 2019 promises another
year of cutting-edge data
in a boutique setting. This
robust conference will unite
more than 200 fellows and
experts and 550 faculty from
around the world at the Omni Shoreham
Hotel in Washington, DC, March 2–5.
Ron Waksman, MD, CRT 2019
Course Chairman, and expert faculty
have meticulously planned courses and
sessions that share the most relevant, novel
techniques and updated research for the
modern interventional cardiologist.
“CRT is so convenient because all of the program-
ming is in the same hotel,” Dr. Waksman said. “We
have expert faculty and cutting-edge presentations in an
intimate setting.”
Drug-coated balloons will be a focus at this year’s
meeting, particularly with growth and interest in the
devices, good below-the-knee results and
more players emerging in endovascular,
periphery and coronary. Sessions will
discuss moving from paclitaxel balloons
to sirilomus drugs, along with the newest
stents and balloons.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), or what Dr.
Waksman refers to as a “disease beyond a
word search,” will be addressed
in a one-hour
session, with talks on access site points,
consistent approaches to wound care and
cardiovascular evaluation and treatment.
Cardiogenic shock is not a new topic at
CRT, but this year, CRT will devote a specific track, CRT
Cardiogenic Shock, to the condition to elevate its visibility
and increase awareness of the deadly condition.
Dr. Waksman also spearheaded a new initiative, “PCI
Beyond Borders,” which emphasizes that PCI is on the
verge of being able to treat alm
ost every condition. This

TRICUSPID VALVE PROMISING, BUT CHALLENGES STILL AHEAD
NURSES AND TECHNOLOGISTS TRACK FOCUSES ON THE CATH LAB OF THE FUTURE
H ow well patients fare after presenting with
cardiovascular disease is influenced by race, ethnicity and gender, according to Wayne Batchelor, MD, MHS, FACC, FSCAI,
and experts presenting in the Sunday
Disparities: Inequalities in Interventional Cardiology
evening symposium and panel. “To level the playing field in terms of access
to the most effective and novel technologies and
pharmaceutical interventions, we need to recognize
these inequities and address them,” Dr. Batchelor said.
Dr. Batchelor and Kim Williams, MD, MACC, will
explore various aspects of disparities in health care,
including race and ethnicity, gender, the paucity of
women in interventional cardiology and the potential
for biased clinical-trial databases. Soledad O’Brien, an
award-winning journalist, documentarian, news anchor,
producer and philanthropist, and the new host of the
Sunday morning syndicated political show Matter of
Fact, will keynote the session.Cardiovascular clinical-trial databases are inherently
biased toward enrolling Caucasian men, Dr. Batchelor
FIFTEEN LATE-BREAKING TRIALS have been selected for CRT 2019. The trials will be presented in four sessions covering these topics: acute coronary syndrome and acute myocardial infarction, structural valve (mitral and aortic), new stent and scaffold technology, physiology and endovascular intervention.

Tony Blair, who served as Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom from 1997–2007, will give
the keynote presentation on Monday evening.
“We are excited to continue our legacy of
outstanding keynote speakers at CRT,” said
CRT 2019 Course Chairman Ron Waksman, MD. “This
year, we wanted to look more globally, since medicine is
global. Tony Blair has fascinating insights into
health-system reform, including global

Dr. Waksman will moderate this
fireside chat. During Mr. Blair’s time
in No. 10 Downing St., he became the
only leader in the Labour Party’s 100-
year history to win three consecutive
elections. In doing so, he redefined
modern, progressive politics.
While Prime Minister, Mr. Blair implemented
a major domestic reform agenda. Through record
investment and reform, the education and health-care
sectors were transformed.
Mr. Blair’s New Labour government implemented the
largest hospital and school building program since the
creation of the U.K.’s welfare state. Overall crime was
reduced by a third, and the first-ever national minimum
wage was introduced.
There was also transformational progress on
human rights and equality. He accomplished all of
this while overseeing a period of record economic
growth and levels of employment. Mr. Blair also
was a central figure on the global stage. He helped
bring peace to Northern Ireland, securing the
historic Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
As a passionate advocate of
an interventionist foreign
policy, he took military
action in Sierra Leone,
Kosovo, Afghanistan
and Iraq. Mr. Blair

FACE OFF TO EARN CRT’S
‘TOP CARDIOVASCULAR INNOVATION AWARD’STROKE INTERVENTION IS
READY FOR PRIME TIMEVA ROUNDTABLE ADDRESSES
HIGH-RISK PCI PATIENTS,
STRUCTURAL PROGRAMS
I magine a world where Amazon’s
Alexa or Google’s Assistant took
care of all the pre-work for a clinic
visit so the clinicians could focus
on the important issues or remind
patients to pick up prescriptions and
take their medicines. That world might not be too
far away since last year the
e-commerce giant partnered with
JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway
to “revolutionize health care,” and
Alphabet (Google’s parent company)
formed Verily to deal with regulated
biomedical products. As society
is entering the fourth industrial
revolution, science and biomedicine
are becoming digitized, and
artificial intelligence (AI) is playing
a bigger role in health care. AI has
great promise to automate decision
support and improve patient
outcomes, but it comes with its
own set of challenges.
“Everybody—rank and file,
cardiologists, academic medical
centers, universities, companies
and the government—needs to be
talking right now about how we
set the standards, boundaries and
expectations of artificial intelligence,”
said Robert M. Califf, MD, MACC,
vice chancellor for health data
science at Duke University.
Dr. Califf, a former Food and
Drug Administration commissioner,
will address the benefits and
challenges of “Artificial Intelligence
in Clinical Cardiology” as the
keynote speaker during the HHS/
FDA Town Hall on Tuesday.
The benefits of AI are many, he
said. For one, an algorithm could
be created to scan electronic health
records and detect a pool of patients
that would benefit from transcatheter
aortic valve replacement, including
people in nursing homes and
extended-care facilities. Right now,
the procedure depends on a doctor
thinking of the possibility and
referring a patient, he said.
INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGISTS HAVE WORKED WITH
paclitaxel-coated balloons for the past two decades
in the coronary and peripheral arenas. Tuesday’s DCB
(Drug-Coated Balloon) Safety Town Hall will analyze the
drug’s pharmacodynamics
following a meta-analysis
of clinical trial data that
suggests there might be
a deleterious effect from
paclitaxel with respect to
late mortality.
“If true, it’s an important issue for clinicians, patients
and for regulatory individuals,” said Jeffrey J. Popma,
MD, a session moderator. “The purpose of the town hall
meeting is really threefold: First, it’s to put together a
group of extremely renowned cardiologists, statisticians
and vascular surgeons, who would then listen to expert
speakers, who are then going to give us a broad overview
about both the paclitaxel effect to the coronary and
peripheral vessels, including the efficacy and toxicity.”
World-renowned experts will provide the panel with
guidance about how to interpret the data regarding the
long-term safety of paclitaxel. Konstantinos Katsanos,
MD, will present his “JAHA Meta-Analysis: What Is
the Case for Higher DCB and DES Mortality With
Paclitaxel”—“a very provocative but thought-provoking
analysis,” Dr. Popma said—while Gheorghe Doros, PhD,

HANDS-ON TRAINING
CRT 2019 lived up to its
theme “an educational
event with no borders,”
said Course Chairman Ron
Waksman, MD, FSCAI. Interventional
cardiologists, industry leaders, fellows
and regulators from all over the world
gathered in Washington, DC, from
March 2–5 to learn, educate and
share up-to-date information about
new cardiovascular technologies
and interventional procedures.
That exchange of information will
go beyond the meeting to impact
practice and care of patients.
CRT 2019 included 1,290
presentations and 20 live cases from
nine locations around the world.
Almost 3,000 people attended
the meeting, which continues to
grow and expand. The meeting
included 80 abstract and 80 case
presentations—more than ever
before—which allowed for more
interaction with the participants.
“It was a very successful meeting
this year,” Dr. Waksman said. “You
could hear the excitement and
vibration in the hallways. What’s
nice about CRT is we have a lot
of programs for fellows and young
leaders. We also invited key opinion
leaders and world-renowned speakers
from all over the world so the young
and the experienced could interact.”
The meeting featured different
forms of education, including
simulators, one-on-one meetings with
experts, live cases and workshops.
Fifteen late-breaking trials were
presented, with the highlight being
the Low-Risk Transcatheter Aortic
Valve Replacement (TAVR) Study.
The study revealed that one year
after procedure, TAVR is as safe and
effective as surgery.
Tony Blair, who served as Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom from
1997–2007, delivered the keynote
presentation on Monday, March 4.
In addition to addressing health-care
reform, Blair shared why he does not
support “Brexit,” (withdrawal of the
United Kingdom from the European
Union) and, in true British form,
chose fish and chips over hamburgers
in a rapid-fire question round.

IT’S NO SECRET THAT TONY BLAIR,
former Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom, thinks “Brexit”
isn’t a good idea. His opening
words on the topic during his
fireside chat with Ron Waksman,
MD, FSCAI, were, “I don’t like it.”
The crowd rumbled with
laughter throughout Blair’s talk
as he commented on politics
with wit sprinkled throughout his
serious points.
PANELISTS AT THE DRUG-COATED BALLOON (DCB)
Safety Town Hall on the last day of CRT 2019 said
there is a safety signal for paclitaxel-coated devices
used in the femoral and popliteal arteries. They also
said that physicians recommending the use of these
devices should have a discussion with patients about
this safety signal.
The town hall’s focus was on the scrutiny that
paclitaxel-coated devices have received since a
meta-analysis by Konstantinos Katsanos, MD, PhD,
MSc, EBIR, of Patras University Hospital in Greece, and
colleagues, published in December in the Journal of the
American Heart Association. Dr. Katsanos and colleagues’
manuscript reported higher all-cause mortality in patients
undergoing treatment of femoropopliteal disease with
paclitaxel-coated devices than in control groups in 28
randomized controlled trials.
