Watch as interventional cardiologists, catheterization laboratory directors, and other leaders in cardiovascular care share their unique perspectives and experiences with ACE accreditation.

    Two introductory videos were released in mid-June, followed by 3 additional 3-part video series on ACE accreditation and external review. ACE filmed the videos during the 2014 Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) Scientific Sessions in Las Vegas, NV.
