You may have heard of the "5-6-7-8" rule for LM-LAD-LCx stent MSAs to reduce long term MACE, but this new study in @CircIntv suggests that bigger MSAs are needed.

Congratulations to Dr @arasharshi & the team at @OhioHealth Riverside Methodist on the 1st Coronary DCB case in Central Ohio & one of the first cases in the Country. Agent DCB represents a new paradigm in the management of ISR & has the ability to impact countless patient lives!
Another barrier bites the dust! On Feb 28, 2024 we did 1st TDADR: presumably 1st case outside 🇯🇵 Successful reentry w/ CP12 using HD-IVUS after failed Stingray ADR. Credit to @Laserrman (my mentor!) for sharing knowledge on IVUS 3D wiring. @tadano98@SKuramitsu0511@nikardiologii
1/4 Just publ in the Lancet our updated network meta-analysis of imaging-guided (OCT or IVUS) vs. angio-guided PCI across the spectrum of CAD. With 22 RCTs and 15,964 pts this is the 1st study to demonstrate that imaging reduces all-cause death (by 25%), as well as all MI (17%).
@VennieKocsis@esaagar Elon hardly ever smokes…If you read his biography you would know he’s definitely not even an occasional smoker let alone a pothead. He was in the middle of an admitted manic depressive bout when this episode was filmed.
@rafejudkins@rafejudkins thank you so much for an excellent season two! Grew up reading WOT by flashlight until 4-5am (on school nights often). This season was such a first pumping enjoyment for me! Kudos & cheers to many more!
At #TCT2023, @rwyeh presents late-breaking trial results showing, for the first time in a US trial, that paclitaxel DCB angioplasty vs routine balloon angioplasty is associated with a lower rate of target lesion failure at 1 year
