@Papa_Heme That was par for the course at #WashU. It's where I developed the "Omega Protocol" for self-cardiac cath and PCI- presuming my STEMI would happen while on STEMI call. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. 😬😂
@gbiondizoccai@ccijournal I do a variation of this as it can be hard to exit the sidearm. I cut the hypotube of the sheath and instead thread through a stopcock. I do this for each Prostyle pair. Applies light tension and keeps them clean and straight.

@Dr_Alan_N Saying Dr. Fisher didn't earn his place is extremely laughable. He's an accomplished surgeon, global thought leader, and incredibly intelligent. This whole thread is weird and kinda racist.
@WestAxDeviation@SVRaoMD Via a lateral thoracotomy access the LAD retrograde with an 8 fr sheath. Two big ass NC balloons and DCBs. Use your index finger for manual hemostasis. Everything will be fine... 🙃
@ncurzen@angioplastyorg@RevEspCardiol I wish this was true. Any vascular complications we bail out as well. Has made us very creative endo operators. Simply having these services is not enough. It's also willing, collaborative colleagues to help with rescue when needed
@angioplastyorg@ncurzen@RevEspCardiol Some of our surgeons have said that if the patient is being referred for TAVI, there there is no surgical rescue.
