@PinakShahMD @FaroucJaffer Congratulations Farouc!

We've had a lot of success w/ Ostial Flash-cool to see how ostial flashed stents look grossly and by OCT in our recent cadaver implants. Unanticipated benefit is that Flash increases strut density at the coronary origin-where we struggle with stent scaffold failure and recoil.

Rotational atherectomy versus balloon-based techniques to prepare severely calcified coronary lesions: A pooled analysis from the PREPARE- and ISAR-CALC Trials.
Thanks again to all colleagues involved in this work for their great contribution!

[EuroIntervention @EuroInterventio]

In the ISAR-CALC trial, preparation of severely calcified coronary lesions with either a super high-pressure balloon or a scoring balloon was associated with comparable stent expansion on intravascular imaging. @TRheude #EIJBestOf https://t.co/k200ZUEFSi

@newschambers @IMO_IRL @health_irish When I started working as a doctor I had no idea I would have to routinely make personal copies of all overtime forms, contracts amended with correct details, applications for annual leave etc. as they would often go "missing"...

ONLINE NOW: McElvaney et al present the results of a randomized trial of alpha-1 antitrypsin for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19. Circulating IL-6 and other pro-inflammatory markers were decreased at one week in the treatment group.

Interesting case with @BlazekStephan !
