Gents,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they do TEE during most cardiac procedures, including when they use fluoroscopy as in angioplasty and stent placement?? Forgive my ignorance.
Also, to the pros out there, I've always been interested in the heart. But, I know that CABG rates have really slowed down over the past 10 plus years due to less invasive cardiac procedures, like drug eluting stents etc.
So, what do you think the prospects are for a fellowship trained cardiac anesthesiologist?? I know that "heart centers" seem to be money makers, since they are proliferating so much (and, yeah, I know the implication that could have on future demand).
