Nice #bifurcation #PCI case with Malek Kass involving angulated sidebranch. As always #calcium modification necessary, #Shockwave and #IVUS .

Since The New York Times & ProPublica have posted articles about the overuse of atherectomy/angioplasty for PAD, I thought I'd go back to the source, Dr. Charles Dotter, who 60 years ago did the 1st peripheral angioplasty in order to save an amputation. (Links in comments) #AngioHistory

#PCI >> #OMT for angina relief in 3 months which is a very short time for a chronic condition. Why would you not offer #PCI as 1st line in appropriate patients with #SIHD ? #AHA2023 #radialfirstbot #tctmd #nejm Amir Ravandi Basem Elbarouni Ziad Ali Malek Kass

Lowering salt (one teaspoon) in the diet among middle-aged and older adults was as good an effect for reducing BP as a first-line anti-hypertensive drug, independent of severity of HTN or meds, in ~75% of people, from a randomized trial jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… JAMA

The first clinical trial to show that preventive coronary intervention in non-flow limiting but vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque reduces major adverse cardiovascular events thelancet.com/journals/lance… The Lancet #ACC24

#ACC24 PREVENT trial is up and it's a big one PCI for non-flowing limiting, high-risk is shows ⬇️ cardiovascular events! Wow this is certain to generate discussion. Implications for management could be huge

The PREVENT trial showed that preventive #PCI of focal non-FFR-positive plaques that are angiographically >50% & have evidence of vulnerability on intravascular imaging along w/ OMT is superior to OMT for clinical outcomes at 2 years. Read more: bit.ly/3xuHWrl #ACC24

Message from a friend: “Canada has heard rumors about innovation and is determined to will leave no stone unturned in deterring it”

100% chance everyone who thinks doctors are paid too much/taxed too little are the same people complaining about lack of access to good health care in Canada. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Minister Rechie Valdez, you're mistaken. This is not something Canada can recruit our way out of. @Ontariosdoctors are facing financial strain, worsened by proposed tax changes. This could threaten physician practices and patient access.
