Very interesting video explaining mechanism of LV apical thrombus formation! Akinetic apex leads to stagnation of blood and rest is self explanatory! #CardioTwitter #medstudent #FOAMed

Bladder distention can cause dynamic iliac vein compression. Here is a nice example which can help prevent unnecessary venous stenting #ACCFIT #CardioTwitter kenneth rosenfield Gaurav Parmar Haseeb Qazi Vikas Aggarwal Riyaz Bashir

Uncrossable lesion referred to me (previously operator couldn’t pass previous stent) 🕰️Likely late stent malapposition leading to wire continuing to go behind struts 🎈 Used sapphire balloon to occlude space behind struts and knuckled jacketed wire down. 🦾MAX support with

I almost always use a figure of 8 to close 8F to 24F venous access sites. I haven’t had any major issues and I still send many patients home same day. I’ve been tempted to move to perclose but not sure the real benefit. Anyone using perclose routinely on venous closure?

Anyone have a video of using a balloon to center within the lumen and then using a wire to cross a chronic lesion? I’ve seen one before but can’t locate it!

Iliac CTO. Approach? One of the places R2P can really be helpful. I still prefer femoral for these cases but having finally having dedicated equipment to go radial just adds to the endovascular tool box! #PAD #cardiotwitter

Interesting results from #ESCCongress2024 from REC-CAGEFREE 1 looking at DCB vs DES. For small vessel disease (device diameter <3.0 mm), DCB and DES had comparable outcomes, but for larger vessels, DCB was inferior to DES (p for interaction = 0.02).
