🔊 Proper IVL balloon prep matters!
Even small amounts of residual air can reduce sonic pressure by up to 20%. And remember: non-ionic contrast alone won’t work. IVL requires a saline-contrast mixture to generate shockwaves.
🎥 See the video for the correct technique.
Over a 10-year period, FFR-guided PCI reduces rates of revascularization but not death compared with optimal medical therapy, a distinction that emphasizes that it's not a survival treatment, based on new meta-analysis. https://t.co/ID5Kk1V8oC
