💉 Access matters! Chapter 17.2 of our #SCAIMCSebook explores the common cannulation strategies for #VAECMO. Multiple sites may be necessary and operators must be familiar with multiple modalities for optimal large-bore access at different locations. Get insights on optimal

SCAI First in Detroit last night with great presentations from our local fellows. We learned about the value on IC imaging guiding critical decisions in the PCI. Shout out to the presenting fellows Ahmed, Omar, Colleen and Anthony.

CTO Plus another great meeting for CTO and complex operators. Live cases were excellent and instructive Fantastic summary of the future MCS device by Kevin Croce MD, PhD Henry Ford St John well represented Hiroshi Yamasaki Chirdeep Patel, MD

We will be hosting a complex PCI observation course. Both femoral and alternative access (Perc axillary) will be demonstrated on March 21st. A few spots left. If interested scan the code below for details and registration.

We are excited to welcome Dr Huntoon to Detroit April 10th. We will be discussing fair hearings, due process, and the weaponization of the peer review process with panel of lawyers and MEC members. Time to increase awareness and protect the careers of operators. Register below

Amir Kaki, MD and team shines on from Detroit to #CRT2025 on our last day, i love seeing Fayaz Shawl on the podium too, a legendary PCI operator in his heyday, i had visited him in Maryland and we did live cases in India 20 years ago!

Interesting Case of patient with severe AS and severe LV dysfunction complicated by LV thrombus. Turned down by surgery on pressors. Decision to treat with cerebral protection BAV. Excellent hemodynamic result and no neurological complications. Off pressors and doing much better

SCAI Class E cardiogenic shock bi ventricular secondary to fulminant myocarditis. Successfully treated with bi Pella. Prohibitive femoral access so PercAx for Impella CP and RP Flex via RIJ. Pt able to sit up and ambulate. Alternative Access life saving and increases mobility.

Had the privilege to visit Professor Ashok Seth and his colleagues. Very impressed with the high quality evidence based advanced level of cardiac care across India despite challenges and resource limitations we are not faced with in the US.

Wonderful work led by Imran Aziz Ahmad Jabri MD , FACC, FSCAI & YingXu on flow characteristics of reperfusion sheaths w large bore MCS. No difference b/t sheath sizes (as it relates to flow), better flow w active flow vs passive. Need detected sheaths in the future. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Potential gamechanger in MCS! #Percutaneous insertion of the #Impella #5.5 device *may be feasible via a transaxillary approach #PercAx using the #Impella #RPFlex sheath in some patients. Use of a covered stent will likely be required for hemostasis.
