@realarainmd Cool and plausible concept. But if that’s the case contrast is the worst fluid to use (sticky and viscous). Maybe a mix with Rotoglide… or some magic proprietary formula.

Applications extend beyond re-entry, think prox cap puncture, side branch access, intramural hematoma evacuation etc etc. #donquixote 😕

@SripalBangalore @realarainmd The question IMO is whether a mongo would “modify” the plaque equally well as injecting contrast post cap puncture. Since HDR has to be pre wiring attempt, the only way to know would be a little RCT … love the concept though.

Wonder if this is why we still see pressure drops sometimes across long stents despite Image guided optimization #DefineGPS. Wave reflection off strut edges. This is the noise reduction system implemented at Schipol @DrAllenJ

Anybody knows why is Ranger DCB contraindicated in the coronaries? Is there specific data supporting that? Which would be interesting considering it’s essentially the same device as Agent DCB @BSCCardiology @FDADeviceInfo

Great concept, but difficult to do with separate catheters. I am still hoping (after pitching this idea to various companies for years...) that we will have a coronary dual lumen IVUS re-entry catheter in the near future @bostonsci @AtulGupta_MD

@robertshiuzhang @SVRaoMD @CircIntv @SripalBangalore Nice work! No only that CPES predicts low CO in submassive PE , but it is also predictive of clinical events in a pre interventional PE cohort (PROTECT) @drandrewsharp @SripalBangalore

@AnilMakam @drjohnm In a given day , that’s true. But overall only 15% of pts are angina free during the follwoup period for placebo vs about 40% for pci . The daily distribution of angina is a little misleading in that regard.

Had the chance of being able to record a PE thrombectomy cases with my partners @jafwlr @dkliner412 @MichaelBashline . Unedited live in box case link below. Hopefully some useful info esp for new operators. Thanks @medinbox

@GBarnesMD @PERTConsortium We take a/c for acute PE for granted and makes mechanistic sense . But strictly speaking the evidence behind it is not that clear cut. Just think of how PE was diagnosed in 1960s…interesting editorial here
