I am starting my training with cath rotation this July. Are you guys aware of any modules or video in the Internet where I can orient myself with the different views /shots ?
Learning how to get access without screwing up the patient = more important for your first rotation.
Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Review is a pretty good board review book and has a few pictures.
Remember cranial shot is good for laying out the LAD.
LAD caudal shot is good for showing trifurcation of L main, LAD origin and LCx origin.
sort of a thread jack, sort of relevant.
How much of a diagnostic case are you doing at your fellowship? Say for a left heart cath where you are crossing the valve and shooting cors. I have heard that some places the diagnostic fellows are doing little more than access and occasionally injecting. Other places the fellows are doing the case from start to finish and the attending is in the control room and doesn't scrub in. what are peoples experiences during their training.
