The number of redo-TAVI procedures is expected to rise substantially as indications expand to younger patients with aortic stenosis who are likely to outlive their index transcatheter heart valve. The ReTAVI registry represents the first prospective, multicentre evaluation of redo-TAVI providing systematically collected, core lab-adjudicated data on procedural feasibility and early outcomes. eurointervention.pcronline.c…

For medical information, general AI frontier models (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) outperformed specialized @EvidenceOpen and @UpToDate as assessed by 12 US clinicians, randomized and blinded to which model and extensive testing/benchmarks. This was not anticipated. @NatureMedicine

#CTO #PCI skills can help you in a multitude of situations as well!
An older patient (80s) presented with NSTEMI and cardiogenic shock, surgical turndown with trifurcation LM disease and ostial LAD CTO.
Impella support; LAD identified with #HDR and crossed; followed by DK crush into LAD/LCX and sequential kissing for the trifurcation.
I believe that without CTO skills, this patient would likely not make it.

#Toolkit Friday with a live case tip from @ArchSymposium!
Dr. Grossman and Dr. Fukuhara discussed Pacing during complex TAVR, moving to LV Pacing, and benefits of SoloPace for this procedure.

@CardioNerds #CathMasters is learning about the evidence-based and state-of-the-art techniques for Percutaneous Mechanical Aspiration of intracardiac masses/vegetations/thrombi from Dr. Ki Park (@cardioPCImom @UTSWCardfellow).
Thanks to @KSecrestMD for co-hosting as a member of the @CardioNerds IC Council.
Stay tuned!

Morbidly obese diabetic young male with NSTE ACS.
Diffusely diseased LAD, D1, and high OM/ RI.
Then, there was cath induced non flow limiting LMS dissection.....

3D vena contracta may add another layer to TR severity grading.
@JACohenMD highlights how 3D imaging can better define the regurgitant orifice, and help frame the severity discussion beyond traditional parameters.
How are you using 3D imaging in TR assessment?

Transradial endomyocardial biopsy forceps retrieval may represent a viable last-resort bailout for aorto-ostial guidewire fragments when conventional devices fail, with 24-month follow-up demonstrating preserved valvular function jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacca… #JACCCaseReports

In a 2300-patient RCT, 3-month DAPT was non-inferior to 12-month DAPT (both encompassing ticagrelor plus aspirin, followed by aspiring only) after CABG for saphenous vein graft occlusion and was superior in reducing bleeding risk bmj.com/content/393/bmj-2025… @bmj_latest

In a 261-randomized trial focusing on BTK disease, DRS demonstrated sustained advantages at 3 years over PTA in preserving vessel patency, with lower restenosis and fewer reinterventions while maintaining a comparable safety profile jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… @JACCJournals

🚨First in Germany🚨
Proud to share an achievement from #TeamElli. we have performed Germany's first #SESAME followed by #TAVI during the same intervention. thanks to @phillipfreeman for proctoring, and to @meril_life for their continued partnership and support.

Historically,we considered Rota relatively contraindicated in STEMI as it can fragment thrombus that is often there, this case shows that experienced operators can sometimes perform calculated higher risk procedures successfully.
Ant STEMI w a heavily calcified LAD requiring IVUS guided combo modification w rota @ShockwaveIVL
If u want to learn about ACS, join @TCT_ME_ for a discussion w the experts in a dedicated session:
Honored to have @Drroxmehran @LouaiRazzouk @almoghairi et al contribute to it

“Under-promised and over-delivered.” Christopher L. Brown, MD, shares his early experience with Shockwave C2 Aero, highlighting improved deliverability, rewrap, and multivessel flexibility in complex calcified PCI.

🔊 Proper IVL balloon prep matters!
Even small amounts of residual air can reduce sonic pressure by up to 20%. And remember: non-ionic contrast alone won’t work. IVL requires a saline-contrast mixture to generate shockwaves.
🎥 See the video for the correct technique.

My Toolkit 🧰⚙️🪛: Self-made steerable catheter to cross the aortic valve in severe aortic stenosis
🔗pcronline.com/Cases-resource…
In this article, @Obisht, Won-Keun Kim and Robert R. Flieger describe a self-made steerable catheter system using a 6F EBU guide and the stiff back end of a 0.035″ wire, combined with a hydrophilic straight-end crossing wire, to facilitate crossing of severely stenotic or calcified native or prosthetic aortic valves during TAVI.
The technique is particularly useful in horizontal aortas, bicuspid valves, and massively calcified tricuspid or bioprosthetic valves, where the conventional technique repeatedly fails.
