85y♂️ NSTEMI, 5y ago had TAVI in embolized TAVI during same procedure.
Today, PCI to RCA & angiogram to LM done (LAD non-viable). 5Fr RJC advanced over wire between the valves and aortic wall. Spacious STJ was helpful.

PCI vs CABG for LM dz w & w/out DM
25% DM
DM pts more likely to have higher Syntax & co-morbidities
PEP: all cause ☠️
SEP: CVS & non-CVS ☠️,stroke, peri-procedural & spontaneous MI
No difference in PEP btwn revasc strategy
⬆️ spontaneous MI & repeat revasc w PCI
Current hs-cTn assays are highly valuable for rule-out of AMI. This comes at the price of specificity, unless serial assessments are made. However, serial testing does not differentiate Type 1 from Type 2 AMI and, therefore, robust clinical assessment remains crucial. #CRT2023
First-in-human TELLTALE-BASILICA @StFrancis_LI! TELLTALE is the first and only dedicated system for transcatheter electrosurgical leaflet modification. Life is so much easier with dedicated devices - BASILICA took only a few minutes and the patient did great! Details at #crt2023
In this multicentre, propensity-matched comparison of the self-expanding ACURATE neo2 and the balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 Ultra prostheses, the authors found comparably good short-term outcomes but some differences in device success and paravalvular leak. ow.ly/wsyG50LunWt
NEGATIVE trial. Therefore subgroups are hypothesis generating at best.
Second, no correction made for statistical chance so only point estimates for the many subgroups given in NEJM.
Presentations and ads don’t undergo the same rigour, unfortunately, so a p value has snuck in.
⭐️🇮🇹COPS multicenter randomized trial just out as LBCT #TCT2022
Cutting 🔪 vs. non-compliant (NC) 🎈 in Ca lesions
At Ca site:
🔑 MSA: 8.1 vs. 7.3 mm2 (p =0.035)
🔑 Eccentricity index: 0.84 vs. 0.80 (p =0.013)
