Excited to share the link to @RinfretStephane's book on #CTOPCI I was able to contribute to with @AntonisPavlidi3 & @SmithElliotjs

Why is this Count Binface video better than mine when I've got £5 million?

@realarainmd @evandrofilhobr Couldn’t agree more - thanks for involving me, very happy to be part of this illustrious group of co-authors

Collaboration and friendships make the world go round. And sometimes, even Rotablators ☺️

Despite increasing use in complex PCI, rotational atherectomy through guide extension catheters has never been comprehensively reviewed.

Available now at Journal of Interventional Cardiology, our new open-access review summarizes the evidence, technical principles, indications, limitations, and practical tips for this niche but valuable technique.

Hope you find it useful.

@thedoctorkhan You mean benefits 🤣 I’ve given up sending anything via post to our families in Austria or Portugal. For Xmas they were charged fees for receiving my Xmas cards. You can’t make it up.

Check out the latest @TCTMD Case Of The Week from @tomkaier - a complicated PAMI - in the TCTMD Hub on @medshronline

You can share your interesting PCI and structural cases for the chance to be featured as a COTW - HIPAA, GMC and GDPR compliant

@djc795 @DrJayMohan @Babar_Basir @DrAmirKaki @agtruesdell @SandeepNathanMD @Kandzari @nyalborgesmd @MichaelMegalyMD @DrRajeshG1 @AntoniousAttall @Allison_Dupont That’s how I try to integrate the trail into practice - is the disease pattern too advanced to be treated without LV support? In which case, the disease is probably too advanced to benefit from current treatment modalities (at least on a population basis)

I would say that the KISS trial @JACCJournals not only proved that you do not need to do routine SB intervention (commonly kissing), rather I would say the most significant change is proving the concept of POT-side-POT (done in 57% of SB interventions and seems to be more favorable than kissing).

I have been recently doing POT-side-POT instead of kissing when I need SBI and that study proved it can be better!

Congrats to the authors and @sbrugaletta for an insightful editorial!

@6ayyeboon @evandrofilhobr Agree with Evandro. DCB with decent lesion prep! Then walk away provided there’s TIMI3 flow.

At @JAMA_current today, 2 radiologists publish what should be the consent form for a total body MRI in healthy people
Note: "no major medical society recommends whole-body MRI screening in the general population because it is unproven, and the harms likely outweigh the benefits."
