Stents save lives. Intracoronary imaging saves lives.

@jtsaxon Many centers admit patients prior to tricuspid intervention for treatment of chf and iv diuresis as part of their protocol. I would hope we are capturing/excluding these patients.

@georgetolisjr Totally untrue… I mean most of us are doing same day discharge now.

@jasonryanmd Risk doesn’t equal treatment benefit. PVCs post MI looked black and white. Raising HDL looked like a great idea. Everyone still recommending red wine and niacin for their patients?

@TheECGMedic @praneet_manekar @Drakhil_cardio @DrRajeshG1 @Hragy @PurumittalDr @realarainmd @CASivaram1 @iamritu Good guess. No perforation though as that is the typical appearance of coronary to pulmonary artery fistula. The operator is also showing there is also reduced flow in the LAD implying that as culprit of an acute infarction.

Don’t eat the worm. Got it. Glad they were there to give me the advice.

@jedicath @Allison_Dupont It���s better than a POBA. Data not clear to me it’s better than another DES.

Virtual head-to-head study of 7 postdilation techniques in provisional LM bifurcation PCI:
• POT-only or P-S-P: suboptimal
• Sequential + simultaneous KBI: best, especially in fibrotic/calcified plaques
• Final POT after KBI: no added benefit

We had a case of abrupt vessel closure after DCB. DCB is a hot topic, but we should prepare for complications. we went with a hybrid DES & DCB strategy. Post-DCB results were good, but when we removed the wire, there was acute vessel closure. We weren’table to cross into TL.

In Baseball or “Doctoring”, so important to never forget the fundamentals…

Duke loses and IVUS fails… what a series of gut punches.

At least the Cardinals are going to be really good this year…

[Gregg W. Stone MD @GreggWStone]

@DFCapodanno @CMichaelGibson Since we published our meta-analysis in Lancet there have been 5new major RCTs, these two plus OCCUPI, IVUS-ACS (the largest), and DK CRUSH VIII. These latter three were positive, the two you mentioned negative. An updated meta-analysis would still be markedly positive.

[Edward Coverstone @cardsfanx2]

@JayMathewsMD @DFCapodanno @AmputationSuck This is part of it. Why is someone messing around for 22 minutes in a study protocol for IVUS that pre and post adds 5? This delay could be clinically significant to outcomes in a complex or left main PCI in and of itself.
