*NEW* in @JAHA_AHA. How much will your patient improve after CTO PCI?

We developed the OPEN-AP score (calculator available at https://t.co/Jj2aTVT2Aw) to help clinicians identify patients most likely to benefit from #PCI of a #CTO lesion. #CTO101

@nealnakra @Mtrubisky10 @WaddleandSilvy @adamamin Nagys definitely not Ted lasso… more like led Tasso. But nice showing by @Mtrubisky10

@bnallamo @djc795 @SVRaoMD @mmamas1973 @mirvatalasnag Recently ran into this same scenario with dabigatran. Dabigatran led to falsely elevated ACT, with clinically important consequences. Apparently dabigtran’s effect on ACT is highly variable. Maybe best to use bival (?) curious others thoughts

Lots of jokes about the My Pillow guy but ask yourself this: does anyone know who Biden’s pillow guy is? we’re about to have a president who has no advisors from the pillow industry, let that sink in

@AmitSac82327975 @wfearonmd @drmortkern I think @SukhNijjer has tweeted about this before. Curious for his thoughts

@drjohnm @Yascha_Mounk Private citizens? What does that even mean... sorry, but not buying it. Statement is weak and heavy handed all at the same time. Reminiscent of the “stay in your lane” comments being lobbed at doctors earlier. At a minimum seems fairly regressive

I truly miss this man... and sanity, rational thinking, and compassion. I miss those things too

This makes me happy and sad at the same time. The absurdity of the whole thing is hilarious, but the fact that it is real and this dude is the pres. is so sad https://t.co/1to2YnXGM9

@djc795 @GuptaRMD @DocSavageTJU @agtruesdell @GreggWStone @ajaykirtane @SVRaoMD I love how a seemingly small point can generate so much discussion. Great info

[Navin Nakra @NavinNakraMD]

@agtruesdell @djc795 @GreggWStone @DocSavageTJU @ajaykirtane @SVRaoMD Thanks , i didn’t know that about SAFER. I think true Aorta-ostial lesions were excluded from the FIRE trial . Maybe for reason @djc795 mentioned

[Navin Nakra @NavinNakraMD]

@agtruesdell Great result. I tend to avoid distal protection with Ostial/prox lesions. (?) I think they were excluded from trials... maybe due to risk of systemic embolization. Thoughts? Maybe I’m totally wrong about this

I think use of guideliner, deep intubation of rca, and avoidance of thrombectomy would be my choice
