My #interventionalcardiology Toolkit 🧰⚙️🔨: Reverse the challenge: tackling complex #bifurcation PCI

🔗https://t.co/FHZHCUjuvX

Severely angulated side branches can turn conventional wiring into a frustrating challenge. This article, submitted by Nima Mohan and @RGeuns, breaks down the reverse wiring technique, from wire shaping and setup to step-by-step SB engagement, with practical tips on when to streamline the approach or escalate to balloon 🎈 blocking.

My #interventionalcardiology Toolkit 🧰⚙️🪛 No-reflow: distal drug delivery with standard #PCI equipment

🔗https://t.co/xP0J8ewMix

No-reflow is one of the most critical peri-procedural complications and the development of no-reflow can rapidly trigger cardiogenic shock. Emrullah Kiziltunc, Ender Ornek, Adnan Abaci and Mustafa Cetin from 🇹🇷 provide a step-by-step methodology to manage this situation.
