Guidelines recommend using imaging in complex #PCI . New meta-analysis of RCTs supports this and allows estimate the potential benefit of #IVUS or #OCT: NUMBER NEEDED TO TREAT is 11 pts to prevent one TVF in #LM PCI and of 27 in #bifurcation PCI.  https://t.co/NKibFjPC0p

🚨 New in #JACCINT: In bifurcation #PCI, proximal optimization + kissing balloon + final POT (PKP) outperforms proximal optimization + side branch dilation + final POT (PSP) with better stent expansion & apposition! 📊 https://t.co/4DgSdzn3iO #CRABBIS #cvImaging @BURZOTTA_F

This week, our interventional cardiology residents had the unique opportunity to be teached by @ziadalinyc in our heart-team room… Fantastic (also for me) to attend his lesson about #coronary calcium growth, staging evaluation by #IVUS or #yesOCT and management by #PCI !!!!

The CRABBIS Trial: Which ballooning 🎈 technique is best after main vessel stenting in #bifurcation PCI? 🔗 https://t.co/YGP4n5HsXl This two-part study compares two key approaches to determine the optimal strategy: 🔵PKP (POT, kissing balloon inflation, final POT) 🔵PSP (POT,

The POT+kissing-ballooninflation+final POT (PKP) ballooning sequence is associated with better stent configuration compared with the POT+isolated-SB-dilation+final POT (PSP) during stepwise provisional stenting in left main or large bifurcations. #CRT2025

What a nice study! This reinforces the idea of using a balloon to protect the ‘other’ ostium during ANY dilation that involves the carina. It is the same principle behind #JSBT. Once the carina is ‘reconfigured’ by a stent (either side), it is not possible to reconfigure it

POT-Kiss-POT is superior to POT-side-POT in distal LMCA PCI. Great study by @BURZOTTA_F et al. Corresponds with our bench findings by @LNAndreasen and John Ormiston: https://t.co/5FospDKhlN Still, high risk of missing out on any clinical advantage of Kissing if Cx rewiring is

Now we know: if you embarque into bifurcation stenting and want/need to treat LARGE side-branches, POT-KISS-POT is associated with better OCT results. Great 🙏 & 👋 to Gemelli’s interventional cardiology team !!!!! #CRT2025 #JACCINT

How to treat ostial left circumflex stenosis? With @GoranEBC, @burzotta_f, @M_Lesiak & Fahim H. Jafary Understand how how to evaluate left main 0,0,1 #bifurcation lesion in terms of morphology and clinical relevance, & much more by watching the 📺 of this #PCRwebinar. 📷

3-yr FU of EBC MAIN trial out in @CircAHA. In true #LM #PCI ... 1. Stepwise provisional at least comparable to systematic 2-stent 2. When LCX lesion is very long, 2-stent (implanted with technique freely selected by the operator) is good! @BifurcationClub https://t.co/dPg52fT8Xo

How does the presence of a CTO influence coronary physiology measurements in other vessels? What time-dependent physiological changes take place after successful CTO PCI? All this discussed in the article published today in @MyJSCAI Open access here: https://t.co/hp9o4gsA48

Transfemoral #TAVR can be done with different techniques. Yet, vascular/bleeding complications might be prevented and promptly treated with specific technical solutions. Our #LITE technique proved to be a very effective option in ou #TAVI practice!!! https://t.co/XcTMqO22Vc

With the expanded indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, a growing number of patients may outlive their initial transcatheter heart valve. This review addresses key considerations for lifetime management, emphasizing the importance of preprocedural computed
