A useful but not publicized feature of @Philips Turbopower Laser. If you like continuous rotation while lasing, you don't need to hold both rotation buttons for continuous spin. @NCVHonline @AMPSymposium @VIVAPhysicians @SCAI @TCTMD @HadyLichaaMD @AmputationSuck @kmadass

AVVIGO™ + guiding bifurcation PCI (provisional strategy w DCB of side branches) *Assess plaque & identify landing zones *Evaluate stent edges & bifurcation segment (demonstrating oval configuration following kissing inflation by IVUS that is corrected by POT) @BifurcationClub
@BSCCardiology AVVIGO™ + finally arrived & we were excited to use it @KFAFHCards @drptca @ibalsaadi Will post the case tomorrow 🙈forgot to clip images Here are the notable differences: 1️⃣ Automatic pullback faster w speed of 8 mm/s (5F/6F) 2️⃣ Enhanced DFR & FFR Evaluation

4/ The incidence of abnormal FFR in the side branch with angiographic significant stenosis after MV stenting varies between 27% to 52%. 1. Koo et al. 2005. 27%. 2. Ahn et al. 2012 (for DS >50% QCA). 28.4% 3. Kang et al. 2013 (for DS >50%). 32% 4. DK CRUSH VI trial. 52% @SVRaoMD
1/ To tag along this excellent discussion, a poll and a case to follow. In crossover stenting, we not too infrequently see "pinched" side branch. This can be plaque shift, carinal shift or MACH effect. @realarainmd @sbrugaletta @PurumittalDr @evandrofilhobr @Hragy @aspergian1

Renal denervation for HTN was approved the FDA over 18 months ago. But very few cases performed in the US despite a theoretical eligible population >100M patients for this therapy. We cover the elephant in the room: reimbursement in @cardiacinterv. https://t.co/5OdKP7YEe6

As renal denervation is adopted across the United States for patients with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension, the dubious state of reimbursement presents a barrier to both health systems and...
