What is a cardiac catheterization cath and how does it work? What does a cardiac Cath do? #cardiaccath #cathlab #cathlablife #cardiology #healthylifestyle #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter

This hits hard. Interventional cardiology is its own world—isolated by lead, radiation, and the relentless pull of the cath lab. The techs and nurses become family because no one else really gets it. Respect to the ones holding it down in the black hole. 🫀💔☢️ #MedicalBilling #RevenueCycleManagement #RevIQSolutions #InterventionalCardiology #CathLabLife #CardioTwitter #HealthcareHeroes #BehindTheLead

#IVUS Workshop at #EAPCI26: Five trainers ( friends). One catheter. Zero guesswork. 24 participants in the workshop. #TheIVUSRatPack #IVUSGuidedPCI #CathLabLife #ImagingMatters

On 30 January 2026, ISIC held a scientific session at Hotel Padma Semarang, focusing on the role of BP-SES—from evidence to real-world practice. 📊 Dr. Sunarya Soerianata presented the evidence 🩺 Dr. Fauzi Yahya shared real-world complex PCI cases 💬 Insightful insights by Dr. Doni Firman, Dr. Sodiqur Rifqi, and Dr Nahar Taufiq as discussants, with active participation and valuable sharing from the attendees. Key takeaway: BP-SES is non-inferior to DP-EES, with signals of better deliverability—especially relevant in complex PCI. #ISIC #ComplexPCI #InterventionalCardiology #FromEvidenceToPractice #CathLabLife

🩺 Follow-Up | Case Solved: Type III LAD Perforation Successfully Managed In continuation of my earlier post discussing a critical complication — a Type III LAD perforation during CTO PCI — here’s how we navigated through the storm and turned crisis into control: 🛠️ Final Strategy That Saved the Patient: 🔸 Balloon tamponade with a Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB) 🔸 Simultaneously, floppy wire parked into the major Diagonal branch 🔸 On DEB deflation, a GraftMaster stent was immediately positioned from LAD to Diagonal 🔸 Inflation performed to seal the perforation and block LAD flow 🔸 Final left injection showed:  ✅ No contrast extravasation  ✅ No pericardial effusion on echocardiography ✅ Patient stabilized. Perforation sealed. Life saved. 💡 The key: controlled steps, calm decision-making, and teamwork under pressure. 🧠 Why Share This? Because sharing complications isn't about exposing flaws— It’s about teaching others how to act when the unexpected strikes. Every shared experience is a tool in someone else’s emergency toolkit. 🙏 With patience, grace, and God's help — this patient walked out safely. Let’s keep learning, and keep saving. “In the Cath Lab, not every wire goes as planned—but every complication holds a lesson. Facing it with calm, courage, and clarity can turn disaster into deliverance. With grace, grit, and God’s hand—I saved a life, and gained wisdom no textbook could teach. Sharing such moments isn’t weakness—it’s courage. Because every complication shared is a lesson passed on, so others can learn, act, and save lives too.” #LADPerforation #CTOCase #ComplexPCI #InterventionalCardiology #CardiologyCases #CathLabCrisis #TypeIIIPerforation #GraftMaster #MedicalEducation #LearningFromComplications #PatientFirst #CathLabLife #CaseSolved #PCIChallenge #GratitudeInMedicine

🫀 CTO Crossed… but LAD Crashed: A Cath Lab Crisis in Real Time
💡 Real case. Real complication. What’s your next move? 👤 60M | LAD CTO | Single-vessel disease 🛠️ PCI via Right Radial | 6F EBU 🔹 Fielder XT single-lumen microcatheter → ❌ failed to puncture proximal cap 🔹 Dual-lumen hard-tip wire → ✅ crossed CTO but wire slipped into Diagonal 🔁 Redirected via Diagonal → LAD successfully crossed 💉 Left injection confirmed wire in distal LAD 🎈 Balloon pre-dilation done 🚨 Then came the shock: 💥 Multiple Type III perforations across LAD 🔥 Contrast extravasation at 3 sites 
💔 Whole LAD lighting up like a sieve ❓ What would YOU do? 🧠 Covered stents?
🧯 Balloon tamponade?
🌀 Coil embolization?

🚨 Cath Lab Crisis Averted! 🚨
Elderly male presented with Inferior Wall MI ➡️ taken up for Coronary Angiography. 🫀 Revealed Double Vessel Disease with diffuse, calcified RCA
📍 Planned: PCI to culprit RCA via Right Radial → JR catheter 🔄 Crossed lesion with floppy wire
💥 Predilatation with 2.5 mm SC balloon
👉 Still unprepared → switched to 2.75 mm Cutting Balloon ⚠️ Complication Alert!
While removing cutting balloon...
🚫 It got stuck at JR tip near RCA ostium
🧨 Minor pull ➡️ Shaft BROKE!
😱 High risk of RCA ostial thrombosis & occlusion
🌡️ Cath lab atmosphere: Tense. Critical. On the edge. 🙏 With skill, patience, and grace of God
🔧 The stuck balloon with broken shaft was retrieved
✅ PCI completed successfully
💓 Achieved TIMI III Flow 🌟 A reminder:
Every case is a battle of calmness, teamwork, and divine support in the storm. 💪 #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #CathLab #HeartAttack #STEMI #InferiorWallMI #CoronaryAngiography #PCI #ComplexPCI #RCA #RightCoronaryArtery #CalcifiedLesion #CuttingBalloon #CathLabLife #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #DoctorsOfInstagram #CaseReport #EmergencyIntervention #TIMIFlow #CathLabCrisis #ProcedureComplication #ShaftBreak #BalloonStuck #HighRiskIntervention #SavedBySkill #LifeSaved #QuickThinking #GraceUnderPressure #SuccessUnderStress

SORU: Perkütan ASD kapatılması sonrası antiagregan tedavi nasıl olmalıdır? CEVAP: 🔹 ESC kılavuzuna göre: 1–3 ay DAPT (aspirin klopidogrel), ardından 3–5 ay aspirin ile toplam 6 ay tedavi önerilir. 🔹 ACC/AHA kılavuzuna göre: Düşük riskli hastalarda 6 ay boyunca tek aspirin yeterlidir. 💡 Tedavi süresi hastanın bireysel risk profiline göre şekillendirilmelidir. #ASDclosure #InterventionalCardiology #AntiplateletTherapy #CardiologyUpdate #ESCguidelines #AHAguidelines #CathLabLife #CardioTwitter

AMAC: Anchor the Mother to Advance the Child – A technique for complex PCI faced with a tough RCA CTO and multiple failed attempts, the AMAC technique changed the game. Anchoring the system gave the support needed to cross and treat the lesion—no stent, no compromise.

Mission work gives you perspective. @HeartAEthiopia A gentleman in his 70s came in overnight—cardiogenic shock, inferior STEMI, advanced heart block. His distal left main was hanging by a thread. Thanks to exceptional #EMS and pre-hospital care, an outstanding ER team, and an on-site STEMI coordinator, we were able to move fast. We got him to the lab and did what we do—even at 1 a.m.—because the tools and support were all there: IVUS, MCS, IV antiplatelets, the input of a surgical team. But as I was wiring that LM, I kept thinking: What would I do if this was in #Ethiopia? No IVUS. No IVL. No mechanical support. No cath lab team on call. No surgeon around the corner. Just hope. This is the difference that #access makes. And it’s why @HeartAEthiopia will keep pushing to bring advanced cardiovascular care to places that need it most. Let’s never take our tools—or our teams—for granted. @PiedmontHealth ✊🏾 #GlobalHealth #CathLabLife #HeartAttackEthiopia #INTIMA #MissionMedicine #STEMICare #CardiovascularEquity #AccessMatters #MedicalMissions #LeftMainSave
