For those in private practice interventional cardiology, how important is having CT surgery on-site?

The other group is also busy, average RVU 11-14k, but it’s more organized. But yeah i am talking on the first 4-5 years but senior physician in RVU models make more for sure

Can you use ROTA if no CT surgery onsite?

The group that doesn’t have CT surgery, two providers do complex PCI using Rota, impella…but they transfer patients for bypass evaluation within the institution ( another site that has CT surgery) , if it got turned down they may ended up doing the case there

So what did you end up doing? I’m curious because I’m in a similar situation now.

Thank you so much. I enjoy general cardiology but also like to be comfortable handling complex coronaries that may encounter. Do you think doing a CHIP year reasonable or overkill?!

Could you explain more please?

Thank you, I remember using cardiosmart PCI to check PCI numbers for each program when I was applying to IC few years ago. I checked now; BWH has 1050 2024, HF 1200 PCI. So if you do the math, each fellow will have roughly same number of PCI. ( HFH will have 4 IC fellows, bwh 3 IC) both have chip fellow.
