PROMETHEUS, ORBIT II, TRIAGE among SCAI's late-breakers
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions’ (SCAI) 2015 scientific session will flash some big names on its marque this year, with PROMETHEUS, ORBIT II and other trials scheduled to make an appearance.
The annual SCAI conference for interventional cardiologists is set to take place May 6-9 in San Diego. The event will include six late-breaking clinical trials along with lectures, educational presentations, training programs and a return of the Cath Lab Boot Camp. The organizers also added a new feature, “State of the Art Technologies,” to give attendees a glimpse of emerging devices and other innovations that could impact future practice.
The late-breaking clinical trials will be held May 7 and 8. Here is the schedule:
