CHIPSTERS vs DeviceAID

The CHIPSTER app is designed for interventional cardiologists interested in chronic total occluslons (CTO) and complex high-risk indicated percutaneous interventions (CHIP). It provides a repository of latest technology, techniques and treatment strategles. It also lists international events focusing on CTO and CHIP.

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.
