Astonishing results from the DanGer Shock Trial presented at #ACC24 and out in NEJM today.

In patients with ST-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced all-cause mortality (45.8% Impella vs. 58.5% control) at 180 days.

Some thoughts on this ground breaking trial:

When you need to cover the (aorto)ostium, Ostial Corporation | FLASH Aorto-Ostial System can help.
Here, independent ostium of LCx from aorta, which had to be covered. Stent protrudes in the aorta. Ostial Flash is inflated: mid marker 1 mm inside stent, ball inflates and flares the stent. 👌🏼 🔝 result!

We’re coming closer to enrollment completion for the #STAR trial led by Taishi Hirai & Kate Kearney.
Hopefully it’ll confirm the safety and efficacy of a 2-step #CTO recanalization in case of impending failure or to avoid risky epicardial collaterals, like this one 👇🏻.

Some of us have realized that it’s not only about the technical #CTO skills, while also (and foremost) about the mental preparation and leadership skills. Great talk by Emmanouil Brilakis #CRT2024 CRT Meeting
