MCMS Member - Dr. Richard R. Heuser, MD - presenting at the CTO forum in Washington, DC

MCMS Member Dr. Richard R. Heuser, MD will be presenting at the CTO forum at CRT 2012 in Washington, DC, February 4-7.

Also serving as a Course Director, Dr. Heuser, in conjunction with Craig A. Thompson, MD, Course Director, will kick off the meeting with a historical narrative on devices and frustrations in the CTO space. They will provide an overview of the Japan-to-US technology and technique transition, and bring the group up to speed on current best practices as well as unmet needs.

Dr. Heuser stated that, “with the reduction in restenosis with DES and advances in left main PCI, the treatment of CTOs is clearly the Final Frontier for treatment of coronary disease by non-surgical techniques.”

“We are thrilled to host the CTO Forum at CRT this year with our national and international faculty,” said Ron Waksman, MD, Course Director of CRT 2012. “I am pleased that CRT helps to bring together the global community to educate and innovate for this important disease process.”
