Live case from St. Boniface Hospital with my colleague Kunal Minhas. IVL of RCA with OCT guided PCI. then LM PCI with IVL to LCx. Impella supported. Basem Elbarouni Jenny Namkoong AshishShah Arjun Gupta.youtu.be/v6SQYgaWd_s via YouTube

Great case of #calcified RCA using #orbitalatherectomy #shockwave with Amir Ravandi Basem Elbarouni Arjun Gupta . Beautiful result in challenging #PCI .

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

WHAT A KO 🤯 Max Holloway just blew the roof off T-Mobile 🚨 #UFC300



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.
