Very proud to work with this team. Deep OCT+NIRS is the future of coronary imaging. Period. And the future is here in Georgia.

1- tip in larger part of SFA or CFA 2- flows also into profunda and therefore into collaterals if SFA occluded 3- clears the dead space between art can and perfusion canula- avoid thrombosis 4- allows for control of site for perc decanulation

Back to ECMO here in @GaHeart_NGHS and love it. Here’s why a retro perfusion cannula (that I started in @cusm_muhc) is better than an antegrade (see below)

Knuckles are not just “big” or “small”. They behave differently and this position paper will help make you understand state-of-the-art dissection techniques !
A must-read for #CTO #PCI operators. 1-Start (XT or Gladius/Pilot 200), finish with MG 2- Rolling vs travelling knuckles 3-Redirect if explodes, can change wire to restart 4-Ok for retro knuckle to be bigger unlike antegrade one. #cardiotwitter #ACCFIT

3 fantastic live cases pulled off today from the Georgia Heart Institute: robotic mitral valve repair (Dr. S Guy), ASA/Lampoon/TMVR (Dr. R Ramadan, K Gersch, I Parasitadis), and complex retrograde LCX CTO PCI with bifurcation technique (Dr. S Rinfret and Dr. G Henry) with teams.
Fascinating 3 live cases! On day 2, we’ll be interviewing each patient via Zoom, so be sure to check back in.
