Great day with Dr. Taishi Hirai at Mizzou and Dr. Tony Spaedy at Boone Co hospital. Two highly successful CTO/CHIP programs in Columbia Mo pop 120K. "The people that say it can't be done should get out of the way of those doing it" @DrBillLombardi @ajaykirtane @CAThompson99

After a week on #COVID19 service, I have some non-clinical reflections for #hospitalists. This is NOT your regular ward time. I’ll be honest, it was a tough week. I’ll start with the tough stuff. But stick with me – ending with more positivity and some helpful hints.

If I can finish watching The Hobbit and still have time left over to bandage the consequent decubiti before you think, ‘hey, maybe I’ve been at this wire manipulation thing for too long’ you need more than a “novel” CTO algorithm. https://t.co/cUNWXRDyXF @SanjogKalra

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection extending all the way to left main artery as well. Patient with on-going ischemic symptoms as well as hemodynamic instability in the cath lab. Multidisciplinary team involved and patient underwent emergent CABG.

Anyone with experience treating this?

Great talk at #C32019 @C3_Academy by @jtsaxon on #BVF for ViV #TAVR 👏👏. Better valve expansion with #BVF post rather than pre. @akcmahi @PradeepYadavMD @SachinGoelMD @drrahulpsharma

Incredible case @OptimalCTO : massive SVG aneurysm

Robot Cardiologist! is this the future? Live robot assisted coronary revascularisation from #EuroPCR with Prof Jean Fajadet - now live 1

Off to EuroPCR to support robotic PCI education.

Thanks @chipkaminsky. Hoping to welcome you to the robo community soon. The future is here.
