To be Presented at American College of Cardiology 70th Annual Scientific Sessions, Study Led by Dr. Jordan Safirstein Suggests Keeping Stent Info on Smartphones
May 11, 2021, Morristown, NJ – Fewer than half (48%) of patients receiving a heart stent, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), had the provided stent card with them when surveyed at a later date, according to researchers at Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center. Even when they had their stent cards, most patients were unable to identify the type of stent they had, which blood vessel it was in, or the date of the previous procedure. Eighty-eight percent of patients did have their smartphone, however. The study will be presented as a moderated poster the morning of May 15, during the American College of Cardiology 70th Annual Scientific Session (ACC.21).

ATLANTA â Piedmont Healthcare has opened a new service line â Piedmont Neurosciences â to meet the needs of the communities that the 11-hospital system serves.
The new line has allowed Piedmont to invest in three key areas: brain tumor, spine, and cerebrovascular services. Previously, patients were transferred out of Piedmont hospitals to receive a higher level of care. Continuity of care as part of Piedmontâs Clinically Integrated Network is a major factor of improved outcomes for patients, hospital officials said in a release.
The unit recently moved to the Marcus Tower, expanding to 42 critical care beds and 48 floor beds. Piedmont Neurosciences was made possible by a substantial gift from an anonymous donor. By expanding into these services, Piedmont will be able to offer more treatment options to patients who need them.
