SAFE-PCI for Women Protocol Launch

SAFE-PCI for Women Protocol Launch

FDA is collaborating with the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium (CSRC) to sponsor a second TransRadial Education and Therapy Thinktank Meeting (TREATT). TREATT II will convene faculty experts from academia, industry and government to discuss the SAFE-PCI for Women Protocol. The meeting will be held March 7, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the White Oak FDA Campus.

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have historically been performed through the femoral arterial access. Higher bleeding rates have been reported in women. Attempts have been made to reduce bleeding through alternate procedures such as the radial artery access. OWH Research Director, Dr. Ameeta Parekh, will give a presentation on the importance of assessing safety in women who undergo PCI procedures.
