At the University of Minnesota’s @VisibleHeartLab, donated human hearts are reanimated so Medtronic engineers can test devices in real time. 🫀 The partnership began after Earl Bakken built the first wearable pacemaker there in 1958. Read more: bit.ly/4uewZ5I.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Advanced Cardiac Electrophysiology short course. 🥳 👏 Special thanks course directors Drs. Paul Iaizzo, Michael Eggen, and Henri Roukoz, and the @VisibleHeartLab team. #UMNIEM #UMNVHL | #UMNProud

Agree to keep the wire and use another one to repeat wiring, but, if that is still difficult, the most important is to try to avoid the most distal, as well as the most proximal cells, all others are a good compromise (yellow and orange), see the animation by @ZlatkoMBegovic

Thank you so much, Javier. You inspired me back in 2015 to dedicate my career to sharing and education. This time, we’ll aim to connect the #EuroPCR2024 LM PCI from Poznań, replicate it on a 3D-printed bench model, and perform it LIVE in-vitro at the VHL, with Ultreon 2 analysis.

I hope this is an animation of how not to do DK crush Wire crossing was through distal struts- SB ostium is not covered etc

Thank you very much, @Hragy I promised #EuroPCR course directors that not a single question from our attendees in Main Arena will remain unanswered by our team🤝. Please come and challenge us 🤔😀

It is a beautiful animation, thank you, many trying to do DKC are not doing 50 a year as recommended, and may have not even done 50 in their entire career, what is your advice if they are struggling to rewire for 10 minutes, then they cross distally?

We'll also share beautiful animations @ZlatkoMBegovic Why should distal rewiring be avoided in DK-Crush? @BifurcationClub @EAPCIPresident @latambifclub @WomenAs1 @DrSaritaRao2 @APSIC6 @SCAI @mirvatalasnag @drptca @ANazmiCalik @mmamas1973 @Hragy @ziadalinyc @JEscaned @DFCapodanno
