No interventional cardiology meeting would be complete today without flashy live cases, but new ground was officially broken at the CRT 2018 meeting when an all-female cath lab team, led by Annapoorna Kini, MD, director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at The Mount Sinai Hospital, performed a complex PCI on a high-risk, elderly patient. "There are some incredible women out there doing incredible things, but it's usually behind the scenes. It's time for them to shine and be given the credit, the respect, and the notoriety they deserve for their role in the evolution of PCI," Roxanna Mehran, MD, professor of medicine, cardiology, population health science and policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who participated in the panel discussion, told TCTMD.
