HEY @edsheeran !!!! My husband and I are dancing to a medley of your songs for a charity dance competition IN TWO DAYS!! We’re raising money to support a local non profit called First Light, which helps victims of child and sexual abuse. WE WOULD LOVE YOUR SUPPORT!!
🌟 #ACC2026 Late Breaking Clinical Trials
♥️ ONE LINER SUMMARY: AT A GLANCE 📸
Such an outstanding lineup of Scientific work, innovation acknowledge sharing!🫶
Huge congratulations to all the presenters and trial team members for your hard work and contribution.👏 #LearningTogether

Dear all - Please share if you like! 😊
This #JACCCaseReports case presents a novel bailout technique—extension catheter-assisted balloon anchoring—for device retrieval, and underscores the essential role of routine intracoronary imaging in preventing such complications. https://t.co/lzwTyxD3sE #cvImaging#PCI#EPeeps
🚨 SCAI and 8 other leading societies are calling for a safer future in fluoroscopy labs.
The new ALARA+ framework—“As Low and As Light as Reasonably Achievable”—aims to reduce radiation exposure and orthopedic strain for care teams delivering lifesaving, minimally invasive procedures.
“ALARA+ represents a shift from accepting risk to expecting better. [...] This multisociety call to action is about modernizing safety expectations and accelerating practical changes in technology, policy, and laboratory design so radiation exposure is minimized and the physical toll of protective equipment is no longer treated as inevitable." - SCAI President Srihari S. Naidu, MD, MSCAI

Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Antiplatelet Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction With Cardiogenic Shock
In AMI-CS patients undergoing angiography, IV antiplatelet therapy was associated with a lower ischemic risk without an increase in major bleeding at 30 days.

After the @crfheart CTO meeting each year, I usually make practice adjustments based on the dense 2 days of content!
Congratulations to this year's directors, and looking forward to next year's warmer one in Miami! @mbmcentegart@JWMoses
These are my #CTO2026 take-home messages!
Starting with small, quick tricks
1-
A discussion on engaging septals from the PDA-
Use tip injection in the PDA, engage the collateral with "Sion" (for me) rather than Suoh, then can exchange inside the collateral into Suoh given extreme tortuosity coming from the RCA side (Shunsuke Matsuno, @docjohnnyg )
2-
A nice trick by @RinfretStephane to avoid pistoning of retrograde microcatheters is to anchor with a small balloon in the donor vessel while wiring, then deflate the balloon. Gotta be careful of donor vessel injury or ischemia.
3-
Utilizing a cutting balloon for tough side base/base when not able to start a knuckle. I knew about it and never tried it. Will try it in 2026 @Billlieofficial
4-
TD-ADR, the concept that is tough to implement, especially with the lack of certain tools in the US!
This time, I learned we can do it with 5-Fr Opticross! So I am hoping to try it in 2026
The concept depends on moving the IVUS (back and forth) to visualize a mental 3D image of the relationship between the guidewire tip and the true lumen and attempting to puncture it! That slide helps better evaluate it (@Laserrman Maoto Habara)
5-I use CTA in about 60% of my CTO PCI procedures planning (ambiguous caps, ambiguous course, prior CABG, prior failures).
After this conference, knowing what's coming in terms of software ability, I think my utilization of CTA will significantly increase @ColletCarlos

Hi @edsheeran ! My husband and I are dancing to a medley of your songs for a charity dance competition called “Dancing For Our Heroes” similar to @officialdwts.
This state-of-the-art review provides an updated, physician-focused overview for PCI and CABG operators, summarizing evidence on established lipid-lowering therapies, emerging strategies to address residual lipid risk, and the evolving role of anti-inflammatory interventions in the comprehensive management of ASCVD. https://t.co/pGckwYIFhR
How I consult on cardiorenal syndrome:
• Bump furosemide from 20 to 60 mg bid IV
• Consider rapid resumption of sacubitril/valsartan and empagliflozin. Let's not treat these life saving medications as nephrotoxins
It was a great pleasure to be a part of @cvinnovations#CVI2025, learned a lot as usual and came back with multiple tips and tricks.
Here are my top ones that I would apply in my next cases.
1- When freewiring the Rotawire in uncrossable lesions, a nice trick shared by @KateKearney4 is to use Finecross specifically as it centers you more within the lesion.
I used whatever microcatheter I usually use (mostly TP spiral).
2- When doing laser bombing with contrast, can use 20/80 mix to create smaller bubbles and less risk of perforation.
I used the 100% contrast when I did it, and looking forward to trying this trick!
3- When using high-pressure #OPN balloons, having a buddy wire is very helpful. It can help with scoring effect, maintain wire position if the balloon got stuck on the wire, and provides rapid access in case of perforation.
4-When the distal IVC is affected in chronic venous disease, avoid double-barrel venous stenting. Outcomes are better with an IVC stent with 2 extending limbs from both iliac veins. Looking forward to next year!

🎈Stent-free solutions for #CAD are here. With the FDA approval of coronary drug-coated balloons, SCAI is hosting a 3-part interactive CME mini-series to master imaging, lesion prep, deployment, and billing/coding. The first webinar will be on August 27.
