💥 The #VICTORY Trial presented at #TCT2025: In OCT-guided PCI for severely calcified coronary lesions, OPN non-compliant balloon was non-inferior to intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for stent expansion — with fewer devices, shorter procedures, and lower cost. #TCT2025

#TCT2025 DEB vs DES in de novo lesion! SELUTION trial. Deb is Non inferior to DES. This is going to be future. Stents are great but no metal left behind in 2-5 mm vessels is the way to go. #CardioX #CardioTwitter #CardioEd #CardioResearch @BurkhoffMd @djc795 @ColletCarlos

Unusual case: Pt with CABG (2017) now with unstable angina. Cath revealed severe ostial LIMA stenosis & severe LAD disease. Isn’t LIMA protected from atherosclerosis? 🤔 No prior caths since CABG; LIMA never selectively engaged here👇 #CardioTwitter #ACCFIT #Cardiology

🆕 in #JACCINT: The #CAvEAT study finds coronary access (CA) after #TAVR is best with short-frame SAPIEN 3/Ultra (89%). Tall-frame valves like #Evolut Pro/Pro+ had lower success (45%). Valve choice matters for future CA! 📊 https://t.co/nj24iglghc

New #JACCINT study 📖 from ERCTO shows rising use of DCBs in #CTO #PCI 💉🫀. DCBs linked to shorter stent length, lower contrast use 💧, and fewer tamponade events 🩸➡️ promising tool for complex lesions 🔬✨ https://t.co/Qdc3QMjYIl
