Demonstrating how #HDR can simplify a case, even with long occlusions. Here apparently very long LAD CTO fills via D1-LAD epicardial. Was actually geared up to go retrograde 😊, but #HDR changed that!. Tapered proximal cap was favourable for #HDR. TP LP to start ➡️ engaged

This one of a kind meeting is less than 2 days away. It will be my first time chairing an online session - talking about #HDR no less. We will be joined by world experts like Mauro Carlino, Stéphane Rinfret, MD SM and Bilal Iqbal as well as maters of #CTOPCI from Japan! The best part?

Thanks to Maksymilian Opolski and Warsaw CTO Symposium for the invitation and allowing us to show case a difficult complex retrograde CTO. Great interactive discussion. Really enjoyed participating in such a great meeting. #CTO #CTOPCI

Introducing the CRISP technique…. Coils are frequently used for therapeutic graft closure to reduce competitive flow following native vessel intervention. Stable deployment of coils can be challenging with a risk of migration/embolization particularly if the graft is patent and

It was a great honour to perform a live case at the PSIC 2025 meeting in Islamabad. We had a tough RCA CTO, and show-cased working progressively through the hybrid algorithm discussing antegrade and retrograde CTO strategies. We discussed working up the risk with escalating

An educational rota burr entrapment case. When a burr is stuck, we pull on the burr. If that doesn’t work, then we think of complex manoeuvres: cutting the burr, removing Teflon sheath, guide extensions, parallel wiring/ballooning and ping pong guides etc… But we often forget
