NOBLE 10-year data at #TCT2025 confirm that IVUS-guided PCI achieves long-term mortality nearly identical to CABG,while angiography-only PCI lags behind. With lower TLR (5% vs 12%) and optimal stent expansion, IVUS defines the future of precision PCI. #IVUS #PCI #CABG #Cardiology

Organized and presented the Monthly Grand Round at PIC–MTI on the FAME 3 (5-year), NOBLE (10-year), and SYNTAX (10-year) follow-ups highlighting how advances in physiology-guided PCI are narrowing the long-term outcome gap with CABG in complex coronary disease.

The Deptt of Cardiology, @PICMTI, conducted its Monthly #Grand Round on “5-Year Outcome of the #FAME3Trial.” Discussions focused on long-term results comparing FFR-guided PCI vs #CABG in multivessel #CAD, highlighting implications for patient care and clinical decision making.

Why ‘in-Vivo’ sizing for Redo-TAV makes sense over ‘in-vitro’ sizing . Just out publication addressing this for failed Evolut R

Gentle! I will make a video. I advise folks to use an ‘underhand grip’. This keeps one from performing a power Carlino. These pictures are from a case we just finished.

Nice technique for 2-stent PCI - though we know it by a different name: #JSBT facilitated nano crush. Great for when there is a) size discrepancy bet. the MB and SB, and b) the carina is well visualized.

The LAD keeps humbling us, higher flow, lower FFR, even when clean. Physiology > angiography, always.

A (very!) nice review of the physiology of the LAD 🔑 The LAD has higher baseline flow and this results in a lower FFR even when widely patent! Who knew?! Apparently Lance Gould and Nils Johnson did. And now you do too. 😅 How Different is Invasive Coronary Physiology in the…

18-year-old male with a large PDA. Superstiff wire was snared in the aorta to facilitate the delivery of a 12F sheath across the PDA. A 24/26 mm ADO device was used. mPAP dropped from 49mmHg to 20mmHg. What is the largest ADO device you've used for PDA closure?
