Dallas PCI CTO & CHIP
Details
Learning Objectives:
After receiving CHIP, patients often experience dramatic improvement in symptoms, improved quality of life and less re-admissions to the hospital. After attending the meeting, participants should be able to:
- Understanding the indications for complex intervention in patients with coronary artery disease.
- Management of coronary artery calcification and techniques.
- Management of patients with coronary chronic total occlusion.
- Indication and technique for hemodynamic support in patients for complex coronary intervention.

Dr. Lombardi then returned home to Washington State and joined St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham. During the 13 years that he was at St. Joseph’s, Dr. Lombardi helped to develop novel CTO techniques and technologies and was fundamental to the inception of the “hybrid algorithm” to facilitate reproducibly successful outcomes in chronic total occlusion and complex lesion PCI. During this time he was also active in physician training, CME courses and proctoring. Dr. Lombardi joined the University of Washington Medical Center in 2014 as associate clinical professor and director of the Complex Coronary Disease Therapies Program. He is certified in interventional cardiology and cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Lombardi's interests include sailing, fishing, and spending time with family.
