In this episode of AbbottTalks, Hosts Tom Salemi and Kayleen Brown sit down with Ethan Korngold, MD, Divisional Vice President, Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer of Abbott’s Vascular business, to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping decision-making in the cath lab and beyond. Dr. Korngold, an interventional cardiologist turned MedTech leader, discusses the evolution of Abbott’s vascular portfolio and how the company is integrating AI through platforms like Ultreon 2.0 to improve outcomes and procedural efficiency.
The conversation covers specific applications of AI in intravascular imaging, vessel sizing, calcium detection, and future steps in stent placement guidance. He also addresses physician and hospital system perceptions of AI, why he sees it as a GPS-like tool for guiding physicians through complex procedures, and how it may soon impact pre- and post-procedural care.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
