Biggest perk of LDTRA PCI in a right handed pt👍🏽 is their ability to resume their routine activities immediately with their dominant hand. My patient thinks I was God sent.Thanks to my PD, the awesome @hiroyam2011 #RadialFirst #imagefirst #physiologyguidedPCI #ACCFIT #SCAIWIN

The jury is still out there on duration of DAPT after LM PCI. >12 mo 🤓/ 6-12 mo / 6 mo and stop/ 3 mo/ 1 mo 😱 The debate between ‘more metal more prob’ vs ‘big vessel-good flow, you’re good’. One strategy doesn’t fit all. @rwyeh vs Dr. Davide Capodanno.
