CathPCI Risk Calculator vs DeviceAID

The ACC CathPCI Bleeding Risk Calculator App helps clinicians assess the individualized patient risk of experiencing a bleeding event associated with a PCI procedure. Clinicians can compare individual patient risk to the national average based on data from the CathPCI Registry®. The app facilitates consistent risk assessment and communication between a clinician and patient about the overall PCI procedure.

DeviceAID is an educational application with many categories of devices used in both diagnostic Cath as well as interventional cardiology. With hundreds of devices to keep in your head, having a tool to get to the key few numbers can be invaluable. A basics section introduces devices, and the library section allows for the searching and filtering of devices based on some key characteristics. Current sections include Catheters, stents, balloons, atherectomy devices, access, closure, and more. Devices can be added to your personal favorites list for easy access later. For those who want to refine their knowledge of devices, quizzes with correct answer explanations are available.
