Episodes
  • High-risk Colorectal Cancer Surveillance and the Use of GI Genius with Salina Lee, MD
    Mar 28 2024

    In this episode, Salina Lee, MD, a gastroenterologist at RUSH University Medical Center, will discuss how the detection and removal of adenomas is key to helping gastroenterologists prevent patients from developing colorectal cancer. Additionally, she will profile several colorectal cancer screening tools, as well as the latest advancements in colonoscopy, including the use of GI Genius that helps to produce higher adenoma detection rates.

    “GI Genius is a novel artificial intelligence that's built into our processor to help us identify potential adenomas. You may wonder if GI Genius is helpful even amongst gastroenterologists who already have an adequate, or even good, adenoma detection rate. There’s research that shows it does increase the detection of polyps when compared to humans alone, even if they were considered experienced.”

  • Catheter-based Interventions for Treating Structural Heart Diseases at RUSH
    Dec 29 2023

    Catheter-based approaches to treat congenital and structural heart diseases are providing patients with a minimally invasive option for care when they are not eligible for traditional surgery. Hussam Suradi, MD, an interventional cardiologist at RUSH who specializes in treating patients with complex coronary and peripheral artery disease, will talk about several of these interventional approaches, including TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and TEER, or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair to their patients.

    The podcast will also profile several promising new clinical trials that are evaluating the use of the next generation of catheter-based intervention in TAVR, TEER and TTVR, or transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement.

    Dr. Suradi is fellowship-trained in structural heart interventions and is skilled in treating patients with heart valve conditions, such as tight or leaky valves, and those who are born with heart defects. He is also the director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab and the Structural Hybrid Lab.

    “At RUSH, we specialize in the treatment of a variety of different structural heart conditions using cutting-edge transcatheter approaches. We’re also excited to take part in several trials that are helping to move patient care forward.”
