Follow up on the previous case, IVUS showed mid LAD bridge segment (1.5 mm) with diffusely diseased LAD 2 mm stent proximal to LM, DCB mid segment. Complete loss of pulsatility each inflation! #CardioX

Heralding a new era in the field !
My SoMe reminded me that 6 yrs ago today I had the honor of presenting the @SCAI SHOCK classification to the world. Here’s to the massive progress since then by so many people! #DLC next! @Babar_Basir @agtruesdell @behnam_tehrani @NavinKapur4 @BurkhoffMd @davebaran @djc795

Native heart recovery is the optimal outcome for a heart failure patient. UPMC focused on NHR and recovered 39% of our cardiogenic shock patients receiving Impella 5.5 in 2024. Looking forward to when HF programs post how many Heart Recovery pts they had instead of #OHtx/VAD.

Have you ever wondered if LOPP during HR-PCI meant anything? Interesting 1/2 of HR-PCI pts supported w/ Impella experienced LOPP. It was not benign! LOPP was associated w/ increased rates of MACCE. More to come in the Protect IV trial. @GreggWStone @duanepinto @JWMoses

Impella supported #PCI in chronic CKD. Severe renal dysfunction is associated with worse outcomes at 90 days despite low risk of PCI related complications in a high-risk group. Insights from cVAD PROTECT III Study #cardiotwitter #AHAJournals

@TimTebow My patient’s waiting for a heart transplant @ Mayo Clinic Florida. He’s kept alive by a heart pump called impella. AKA “TIMpella.” Thanks 4 being his inspiration. Getting stronger. Would love 4 u to come over & coach him in person! @MayoClinic @MayoTransplant @Abiomed

Congratulations. Well deserved
So honored to be awarded with #scai2024 ‘s 30 early career interventional cardiologists in their 30s. Grateful to my family and mentors who have supported me through this journey and have fostered my growth @SCAI

👇VT ablation with Impella support👇 Despite high-dose catecholamines, complete loss of pulsatility observed during VT induction with RV pacing, PVCs, and during VT! @Phiso_de @chris_sohns @MBraunEP @MoneebKhalaph @VanessaSciacca_ @AleSpoken @Cardioschool @StephanWinnik

How we did it: Impella support (still required levo 10 during case), IVUS after POBA showed NIH, peripheral laser 1.4 (2.0 did not cross first) and 2.0 several passes, NC high pressure, peripheral DCB 4.0x40 for 1 minute, MCS weaned with RHC at the end.
Extensive PCI of LM to LAD presenting with NSTEMI, moderate AS, EF 25%, and LM ISR. IVUS was done after pre-dilation 3.0 as it wouldn't deliver. What is your strategy? No targets. Already 2 layers LM. Agent not available yet @evandrofilhobr @UICcardfellows @laserrman

Impressive initiation of full cardiac support in a patient with multiple challenges to device delivery. Congratulations to you and your team.
OSH transfer for cardiogenic shock, severe AS, 3-v CAD with left main, severe PAD. Stabilized with single access transcaval (TC) Impella CP + BAV via 18Fr DrySeal across cavo-aortic track. Snaring and venoarterial rail for TC done from left radial. @PedroMDMSc @HFHCardioFellow
