No more Smartphone or Social Media for Charles Gerber till 22.3.26. Ceremoniously handing over the device. He’s counting down every 99 days. But the Australian 🇦🇺 embargo commences for all these teens and will be adhered to. Proud of you Charlie!

Great to have done RDN Spyral case in Hawke’s Bay NZ today. A great team and a brilliant result. Thanks to Medtronic both Jackie and Danni for supporting the case👏👏🙏

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Was really nice to do the first Prevail DEB case in NZ today. What an amazing team at GH Cardiovascular and thanks to Danni and Joel from Medtronic for the support.

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Well done Roxanna. 👏👏 a truly deserved award at TCTAP. Congratulations 🥂

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

So proud of you and it's been a long and fun journey for you and all that have followed. This is an amazing conclusion and hats off to Rasha from a old former ORBITAer. Well done Rasha and ORBITA2 team 👏👏👏👏

[Rasha Al-Lamee @rallamee]

You couldn’t be prouder than me on this day. My ORBITA family

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Mark enjoy that well deserved retirement. You were the first to let me do coronary angiography more then 25 years ago. I am forever grateful to you for that introduction to Intervention. A try legend in Cardiology Sir and you legacy shall continue in the Antipodes.

Retiring today after 35 years as a consultant cardiologist.
Proudest achievement - my involvement in the training of, and friendship with, a new generation of brilliant cardiologists, physicians, GPs and even surgeons…
It’s been (mostly) great fun and rather lovely…

@ShaziaTHussain1 @DrPeterOKane @twj1974 @ziadalinyc @ALadwiniec @JonathanDWood1 @AbbottCardio @ShrillaB @mmamas1973 @ammozid Thanks for sharing these beautiful images. This is NIH with sessile thrombus which is now in the organising stages. I would have also used IVUS in this specific case to look at Adventitia and guide DCB treatment. Consider prolong DAPT and bring back at 9 months for repeat study.

@GopalKkoduru @DrPeterOKane @twj1974 @ziadalinyc @ALadwiniec @JonathanDWood1 @AbbottCardio @ShrillaB @mmamas1973 @ammozid I put in a DES in this case as significant atheroma either side of the stent.

@vass_vassiliou @BartOlechowski Had to make the choice Nice car or Lab! Lab means one day can possibly have more than, it’s going to be a dedicated cardiac centre.

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

What should you do with a MidLife Crisis? Get a Porsche? Get a Tesla? New Partner? Nope, build a Cath lab to celebrate 🎉 your 50th! Awesome 👏 to see my lab actually happening. If anything it’s bigger than I imagined 😂😂😄🧠

@DrBIqbal @SyedYNaqvi1 @Ramku14 So Billy, I took off the table to discuss. But the consensus from all other Interventionists (apart from me) was PCI. Hence my tweet as I was surprised to be an outlier in the MDT as I thought the evidence in this case was clear to pursue OMT.

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Lot of debate at the Cardiology MDT here in Sydney. 49 year old with CT coronary stenosis and angiography demonstrating lesion in LAD. RFR 0.92 after several measurements and FFR 0.80. Diagonal RFR 0.93, FFR 0.81. What do u do?

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

@DrBIqbal Hi Billy, no symptoms CT done as family history of IHD and high lipids.

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Abel Tasman 4 day trekking, an awesome way to spend my 50th with my beautiful wife.

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Even in the rain Sydney is so beautiful at Christmas 🎄😀. Merry Christmas all!

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Identified as Sydney Male juvenile Funnel web by my boss’s wife who is expert on these matters!

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Had my first Male funnel web episode last night whilst on call. Had no call outs but lack of sleep after dealing with this scary beast! 😱😳

[Robert Gerber @rtgerber]

Check this for a swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool. 50m open air and no one else in. Blue mountains Sydney awesome!
