The most interesting is the possibility to perform angiography to improve erectile dysfunction. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theheart.org\/article\/1296619.do\">ZEN trial<\/a> is currently looking at using stents to improve arterial flow; in a small sample of patients (approximately 30), erectile dysfunction improved by 60% at 3 months. For a future interventionalist, this is another exciting new procedure to learn. We can add ED angiography to the already long list of potential procedures, including aortic valve placements and renal nerve denervation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What emerging interventional procedure do you find most intriguing?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Leon surveys the expansion of the interventionalist&#8217;s world<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[476,195,437],"class_list":["post-13727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interventional-cardiology","tag-aha","tag-fellowship-training-2","tag-stents"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13727\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/cardioexchange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
