This really needs to be hammered home. “IVUS-endorsed” PCI is no better than PCI without IVUS. We must engage with the IC imaging, otherwise may as well save the health system💰💰& not take out an IVUS catheter at all! Education is key.

Self-doubt stops too many women from applying for jobs.

After clearing the bar for expert-level work, 92% of men applied—but only 50% of women did.

It shouldn't matter whether you feel qualified. That's for the employer to judge. If you're interested, put your hat in the ring.

In the DanGer Shock randomized trial, including 360 patients with STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced 180-day all-cause death from 59% to 46% (p=0.04, NNT=8), and a composite endpoint of escalation of treatment to additional MCS, heart transplantation, or…

#ACC24 begins in Atlanta on Sat, but back in the day, Atlanta was the center of interventional cardiology. In 1980 Andreas Gruentzig moved from Zurich to @EmoryHeart to teach his procedure to a wider audience. Spencer King, Bernie Meier, et al tell the story below. #AngioHistory

Consequences to incomplete revasc in LMPCI? From EXCEL, leaving a residual jeop score >4 is BAD, and most importantly, leaving >70%DS in the Cx has a 3-fold hazard of Death/MI. So for all the provisionalists, respect the Cx! Gregg W. Stone MD Mina Madan rb.gy/n80x33

As ICs we sometimes have to deal with bad outcomes.
