OR-Live.com webcast December 18, 2007 at 6:30 PM CST From St. Mary’s Medical Center Duluth, MN
St. Mary’s Duluth Clinic Heart Center in Duluth, MN, plans to broadcast a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also called a coronary angioplasty, live on the Internet. The webcast is slated for Tuesday, December 18, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. The public will be able to watch doctors use a minimally invasive procedure to relieve a blocked artery in the heart.
A member of the interventional cardiology team at the Heart Center will perform the live procedure. At the same time, two of their colleagues, interventional cardiologists Michael Lucca, MD, and Kathleen Braddy, MD, FACC, will help to explain the surgery and answer questions as they are e-mailed by viewers.
