A proposito di questo titolo

 Blue Collar ICs is a roundtable podcast hosted by seasoned interventional cardiologists who work on the front lines of cardiovascular care. The show delivers honest, experience-driven conversations about real cases, complications, evolving technologies, and the decisions that matter when the stakes are high. From complex coronary and peripheral interventions to stroke prevention, structural heart, and cath-lab realities, the focus stays on practical medicine—not polished theory. Equal parts education, storytelling, and unfiltered debate, Blue Collar ICs pulls back the curtain on how interventional cardiology is practiced in the real world.

  • Carotids, CREST-2, and the Blue-Collar Reality of Stroke Prevention

    Carotids, CREST-2, and the Blue-Collar Reality of Stroke Prevention
    Dec 9 2025
    On this episode of Blue Collar ICs, the crew welcomes interventional cardiologist Dr. Van Crisco for a deep, real-world discussion on carotid disease and the implications of the CREST-2 trial. The conversation breaks down how carotid stenting has evolved, where transfemoral carotid intervention fits today, and what operators need to know about patient selection, technique, and stroke risk. The doctors also dig into training gaps, credentialing challenges, and why experience matters more than algorithms when outcomes are on the line. Along the way, they share candid stories from the cath lab, debate new technology versus time-tested approaches, and reinforce the blue-collar mindset of doing what’s safest for the patient. It’s an honest, experience-driven look at stroke prevention from physicians who live it every day.

  • Conferences, Calcium, and Controversies: What’s New in IC

    Conferences, Calcium, and Controversies: What’s New in IC
    Nov 20 2025
    On this episode of Blue Collar ICs, the team breaks down their takeaways from two major conferences—TCT and VIVA—and what the newest technologies could mean for everyday interventional practice. The docs unpack emerging radiation-reduction tools like AeroShield, debate the safety and utility of high-pressure and cutting-balloon strategies, and discuss the evolving role of IVL, atherectomy, and drug-coated balloons. They also dive into the much-talked-about Storm-PE trial and why mechanical thrombectomy may finally have the data it needs to shift PE care nationwide. Along the way, they share candid opinions on bioresorbable scaffolds, clinical trial bottlenecks, and what innovations are truly worth the hype. It’s a fast-moving, highly technical episode full of real-world experience, skepticism, and excitement about where the field is heading next.
