@djc795 The stent metal shaft broke inside the guide, leaving a metal part in guide with the stent inside LAD, we returned the batch to the company to investigate the issue

It takes two minutes to place a stent and two hours to take one out! Had to snare a stent that broke during deployment
Not for the faint of hearts 😱

@Drakhil_cardio So true!

Last week we performed the first Impella RP Flex at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center
An octagerian woman with late presenting RCA STEMI and RV shock
device remained for 7 days and was successfully removed with remarkable hemodynamic improvement.

Ostial RCA CTO, unable to engage antegrade with different catheters
so primary retrograde approach used, snared wire was used to guide the guide ☺️

@asaadnakhle @SCAI @KAlaswadMD @HenryFordHealth @HFHCardioFellow Wonderful work my friend 🦾

CTO PCI of Circumflex has an added complexity so when AWE works it’s always a good feeling ☺️

[Zaid Al Jebaje MD, FACC, FSCAI @zaid_balasm]

@GopalKkoduru Thank you! 1.5 Takeru balloon for predilation then a 1.5 burr eventually 4.0mm stent. I attempted a 1.75 but stalled and got stuck at the ostium so downsized the burr

[Zaid Al Jebaje MD, FACC, FSCAI @zaid_balasm]

Using rota in a STEMI with VT was not something I expected but here we are!

@GopalKkoduru Didn’t feel the need for that, it had low TIMI flow at the end, having said that I have used Amplatz vascular plugs to close VG as part of NASA registry.

We performed the first successful retrograde CTO PCI at St. Vincent Medical Center, Toledo. Using reverse-CART technique: male in his mid 50s presenting with NSTEMI, culprit is jump VG to r-PDA/PL
Reverse wiring/Hair-Pin technique to navigate jump graft using Sion wire.
