Agree Aditya. OCT/NIRS with Spectrawave DeepOCT could be much quicker and more precise on TCFA, LCBI, MLA and PB. More to come! Gregg W. Stone MD Eman Namati

Great day today for vulnerable plaque (VP) PCI! Superior to OMT. Guess who was there? Jim Muller father of VP, Patrick Serruys and Gregg Stone. Long history for us guys in VP + PCI.⁦⁦Gregg W. Stone MD⁩ ⁦C. Michael Gibson MD⁩ ⁦Ron Waksman⁩ ⁦B. Hadley Wilson MD⁩

Congratulations to Jacob Moller and DanGer Shock investigators for this independent RCT showing that Impella CP reduces mortality in STEMI cardiogenic shock. ACC Late breaker and NEJM publication today. First ever for MCS in STEMI shock. Gregg W. Stone MD William W. O'Neill Navin Kapur

Terrific opening of the 75th Year of ACC this morning and congrats and thanks to Dr Hadley Wilson of the Sanger Clinic and Advocate Health, Charlotte NC for his devotion and service as ACC President this past year.B. Hadley Wilson MD C. Michael Gibson MD Dr. Robert M. Califf Gregg W. Stone MD

So excited for ACC.24 Opening on Saturday when my partner and friend Hadley Wilson will give the Presidential Address and open 2024 ACC! He is a true servant leader who has given his all to promote U.S. and global CV education, access, and diversity. B. Hadley Wilson MD George W. Vetrovec

Grateful to Circ: Heart Failure for reporting our work exploring a new approach to optimize #unloading by mechanically targeting preload. This opens opportunities to reduce pump speed, decrease hemolysis, and employ 'smaller pumps' to achieve 'big pump' physiology. #CVPhysiology A-CURE Working Group

NEW IN #JSCAI : Publication highlighting clinical experience and unique value of the HyperVue Imaging System featuring #DeepOCT +NIRS intravascular imaging in a variety of plaque morphologies.

Congratulations to all the authors!

Such a tremendous loss and surprise as we were on a call together just last week. The whole community will grieve with his family and may God bless them, but also lift them up in celebrating his life of exceptional kindness, caring and pioneering for patients and medicine. SCAI Now

Excellent day in the lab with Ray Matthews, Jubin Joseph and team at USC Keck this week kicking off their first 9F Impella ECP investigational cases which were high-risk and complex with very nice outcomes.⁦Jubin Joseph, MD PhD⁩ ⁦Ray Matthews, MD⁩ ⁦Amir Kaki, MD⁩

Great to kick off the true 9F Impella ECP investigational cases at Providence St Vincent’s in Portland! What a superb team! Thanks to Jason Wollmuth for his leadership.⁦Jason Wollmuth⁩ ⁦Ethan Korngold, MD⁩ ⁦Amir Kaki, MD⁩ ⁦Haroon Faraz⁩ ⁦Aditya Bharadwaj⁩

Wow, Chris. So sorry you’ve lost her, but what amazing memories and what an inspiration to you, and I’m sure your whole family. All the Best Wishes that you can join with the family to celebrate her life. My dad was WWII 101st Airborne. So I get it….

Super day in Zurich at the Andreas Gruntzig Cath Lab with Dr Christian Templin, and in the historic amphitheater where Andreas taught many physicians. His stunning innovative spirit is alive and well today in each of us.George W. Vetrovec Robert W. Yeh MD Navin Kapur William W. O'Neill Gregg W. Stone MD

Congrats Babar and Bill and the entire NCSI team for your vision to show the impact of best practices with early LV unloading in AMI cardiogenic shock improving survival for these very sick patients. We will test this observation in the RECOVER IV RCT.William W. O'Neill Navin Kapur

Tehrani, MD Jeff Tyler Iyad Isseh إياد نبيل العسّة Henry Ford Hospital Cardiology Fellowship Dr. Faisal Rahman What’s new: early use of MCS w Impella in AMI-CS is feasible across health care systems and resulted in improvements to early hemodynamics and perfusion.

Really enjoyed being with the GWU team in D.C. discussing the STEMI DTU RCT and their experience enrolling in the trial. Great group of cardiologists, intensivists, surgeons, fellows and research coordinators with a passion for this study. Navin Kapur William W. O'Neill Gregg W. Stone MD

Incredible 2 days in Nashville for PROTECT IV + STEMI DTU investigator meetings. What an inspired group of MD’s/research coordinators changing the standard of care thru Class I RCT evidence for HRPCI + STEMI.Gregg W. Stone MD William W. O'Neill Navin Kapur Nima Aghili Haroon Faraz

Thanks Aditya! These are ground breaking trials that will inform the future of PCI. Thanks for being a part of this incredible journey….Gregg W. Stone MD Navin Kapur Jason Wollmuth Aditya Bharadwaj William W. O'Neill

Congrats to Dr Mark Beniarz and the New Mexico Heart Team for making history in the U.S. by enrolling the first patient in RECOVER IV RCT for AMI cardiogenic shock, testing early unloading with Impella MCS, routine PAC, PCI, weaning pressors and early MCS escalation as needed.
