Thx #CTO2025. Thought provoking session on CTO wire skills. DRaW (Differential Resistance Wiring): a conceptual framework to navigate CTO. Think different. ADR & Parallel not opposites. Knuckling a wire skill. @RinfretStephane @crfheart @BartsIntervGrp @KambisMashayek1 @VP_Med

[Evandro Martins F. MD @evandrofilhobr]

Great talk by @SmithElliotjs about “Differential Resistance Wiring” #CTO2025

Food for thought

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

@uninvhrc @UN Never in history have you shown greater contempt for your founding values than when the one body created to investigate the Iran regime’s atrocities against protesters instead condemns the only effort to stop the mass murderers—which the people of Iran themselves begged for.

[Elliot Smith @SmithElliotjs]

Great message here @AsherElad. While we mustn’t chase futility there are cases we all recall where the RCT parameters simply didn’t apply. The inspirational story of @fmuamba6 is well reported and just one of them @DocDeaner @BartsIntervGrp

[Elad Asher @AsherElad]

When we applied strict RCT inclusion criteria from ARREST, PRAGUE, and INCEPTION to a real-world ECPR cohort published in Resuscitation Plus, something striking emerged: survival wasn’t confined to those who “fit the rules.” Some patients who would have been excluded by trial criteria survived — even with meaningful neurological recovery. RCT frameworks guide us, but at the bedside, rigid thresholds may cost lives. Clinical judgment still matters. #ECPR #OHCA #CriticalCare

@hughlaurie If you work with Israelis & grieve for their death, then you think they have a right to live and exist. It means you’re a Zionist. Be proud of it. Thats all it is. NOT an evil ideology. Don’t distance yourself from it. Embrace the reality not the propaganda.
