❓ How can we see inside coronary arteries with microscopic detail?
🔬 Intravascular OCT offers high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging that’s reshaping our understanding of coronary artery disease and PCI outcomes.
🤔 What challenges remain in adopting OCT widely — from limited penetration to training gaps and cost?

In a national cohort, after 1:1 nested case-control matching, females were less likely to be referred to AVR (SAVR/TAVI) compared to men, which could be evidence of potential treatment disparities between sexes. #AHAJournals @GCastaldi_90 @mmamas1973 https://t.co/BLKpLvtAli

1. Are women with Aortic stenosis who are admitted with heart failure, syncope, angina pectoris, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock (class 1 indications for AVR) less likley to receive SAVR or TAVR within 90 days post discharge?
we used A 1:1 nested case–control matching analysis approach using administrative data to find out!

Very proud to be among the authors of this Paper. #MinimalisticApproach in #CTO deserves more attention among CTO Experts. Not a technique for newbies but a modern and intriguing approach. Thanks to @AgostoniPF https://t.co/0knaqxGOEI
