#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

Check out my interview with @G_Tarantini01 on his recent @JACCJournals publication discussing coronary access after #TAVR (#CavEAT study). #Cardiotwitter #ACCFIT #Cardiology #MedTwitter #JACCINT 👉 https://t.co/jP2yY231gg
🆕 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

As the #JACCINT SoMe Editor, had the opportunity to interview 1st Author, Dr. Ciardetti, for his publication on DCB use for CTO-PCI last week 👇 #CardioTwitter #ACCFIT @JACCJournals #Cardiology
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
