Do you "wedge" the PA catheter in the CICU because you don't trust the surrogate PA diastolic? Compelling safety reasons to avoid doing this. A new study in Journal of Cardiac Failure validating the use of PA diastolic for most patients with left-sided predominant CS. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Very important question!

Warning: for novice US DCB users! DCB are not non compliant! Here is a perforation i had with a 3.5 DCB after taking it to its nominal 14 Bar pressure( it grew to 4) after an uneventful NC PTCA using NC quantum 3.5/15 at 28 Bar! Watch ur size chart!

In the REVIVED-BCIS2 (Revascularization for Ischemic Ventricular Dysfunction) trial, PCI did not reduce the incidence of death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF). Similarly, in a recent prespecified secondary analysis, PCI did not improve the hierarchical composite of

Patient was referred to our centre for CABG due to significant proximal and mid LAD disease. Review of diagnostic angio showed this. What do you think might have happened here

In patients undergoing valve-in-valve (ViV) interventions for failed surgical bioprosthetic valves, performing bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) after transcatheter heart valve (THV) implantation, compared to BVF performed before THV implantation or no BVF, resulted in better

You may have heard of the "5-6-7-8" rule for LM-LAD-LCx stent MSAs to reduce long term MACE, but this new study in CircInterventions suggests that bigger MSAs are needed. A new "6-8-12" rule? ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…).
