<International Circulation>: You mentioned some of the topics are controversial and you don’t shy away from controversy. What are some of those topics that were raised at this meeting?

  《国际循环》：您刚才提到有一些题目是有争议的，并且您不回避争论。那请问此次会议上被提到的有争议的题目是什么呢？ 
    Prof Crawford: One example of the controversial things presented here from a cardiologist’s point of view was whether you should use the radial artery in the wrist for doing a cardiac catheterization or whether you should use the groin artery. The Europeans do a lot more wrist cases; in the United States we do a lot more groin cases. So we have had some round table and some panel discussions to attempt to get a meeting of the minds if we can. There is a trial being presented in the science part of the meeting on the topic also.

    Crawford教授：这次提到的一个备受心脏病专家争议的例子就是在进行介入心脏导管手术的时候是应该选择桡动脉还是选择股动脉。欧洲的医生多采取手腕的桡动脉手术，美国学者则更多的采用股动脉。为此我们组织了座谈会和专家讨论试图得到意见的统一。一项有争议的实验在本次会议的科学部分也被提出了。
