The only appropriate role for a health insurance company is to pay bills, not to "manage" care.
The only appropriate decision-makers in health care are patients and their doctors.
🚨 #LiveCase 1 | Workshop on DCB
OCT-guided PCI to mid RCA with calcified lesion: lesion prep with IVL + NC balloon, finalized with DCB. Excellent angiographic result ✅
Transient ST elevation occurred during predilatation & DCB inflation—resolved after 60s inflation.
🔍 Pearl:
🚨 Workshop on DCB | Live Case Series
A day full of hands-on practical skill & live demonstrations on diverse DCB strategies, from complex to acute cases:
🔹 Calcified lesion (IVL + DCB)
🔹 Bifurcation (DCB on side branch)
🔹 Diffuse disease (long segment)
🔹 DCB in PPCI
🔹
✅ That's a wrap! | DCB Workshop – 2 Days of Mastery
From lesion prep to long-term strategy—our participants explored the full spectrum of Drug-Coated Balloon PCI through:
🔸 Didactic lectures
🔸 Interactive Case-Based Discussion
🔸 Live cases
💡 Key takeaway: “Leave nothing

Please read my statement on this on behalf of SCAI and all interventional cardiologists. We are loyal to our patients most of whom we have physically helped lead better and longer lives - day and night. That trust should never be severed by outside forces. Period.

🗣️ Participants presented truly challenging cases:
🔸 2 CTO LAD with IVUS guidance (one tackled with IVL)
🔸 A double bifurcation case — OCT-guided, hybrid strategy: DES LM-LAD + DCB ostial LCx, then non-LM bif planned DCB both LAD & D1, switched to DES in mid LAD due to recoil.
💡 Practical pearls:
✅ Use an appropriate guide catheter for strong support, but avoid overly aggressive curves that might cause trauma.
✅ If using femoral access, stitch the sheath to fix it in place, minimizing unintended guide movements.
✅ For bifurcation PCI with DCB, data
This study explored the use of paclitaxel-coated balloons for stabilizing vulnerable lipid-rich plaques in ACS patients. Discover how this approach could reduce future coronary events. #Cardiology #ACS
