Is obesity protective after #PCI? This massive cohort suggests: ✔ Overweight patients fare best ✔ Obesity offers limited protection ❌ Morbid obesity loses benefit ⚠️ Cachexia = highest mortality Full study 👇 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/the-ob… @PCRonline @EuroInterventio @APSIC6

💥34 yo woman. Recurrent #syncope. Family history of sudden death. Echo: mild RV dysfunction. Angio: no aneurysm. 📸 CMR revealed the real diagnosis: #ARVC! Full case 👇 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/role-o… @PCRonline @EuroInterventio @APSIC6

📊 ASD closure & ventricular recovery: ✔ LV & RV strain impaired at baseline ✔ LV improves within 24h ✔ RV recovers progressively (1-3 months) ✔ Device closure = faster recovery vs surgery Full study 👇 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/tempor… @PCRonline @EuroInterventio @APSIC6

💥 Post-#PCI angina: just days later, the angiogram reveals multiple coronary #aneurysms. Not restenosis. Not thrombosis. An exceptional post-DES #complication! Full case 👇 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/rare-a…

📢 Is provisional stenting still the right default for true #bifurcation lesions? 6-year IPD analysis shows: 👉 Upfront 2-stent strategies (especially #DKCrush) 👉 Significantly ↓ target lesion failure Full study 👇 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/double… @EuroInterventio @PCRonline @APSIC6

💥 Chest pain in a 29-year-old... and a 3.5 cm LAD #aneurysm. Distal LAD, giant size, partially embedded in myocardium. Not something you see every day in the cath lab! Discover the treatment strategy ➡️ asiaintervention.org/article/coil-e… @EuroInterventio @PCRonline @APSIC6

💥 A "routine" LAD stent... until everything went wrong. High-risk lipid-rich plaque, OCT-guided plan, distal protection in place, and still: ⚠️ Sudden no-reflow ⚠️ Severe ST elevation ⚠️ Rapid shock What #OCT revealed➡️asiaintervention.org/article/severe… @PCRonline @EuroInterventio @APSIC6

❤️‍Risk-stratify your acute MI patients in seconds! The #AHEAD score, known from HF, predicts 1-year mortality after acute MI in a 3,067-patient #JAMIR cohort. Each point ↑ = higher risk (HR 1.60). 🔗 asiaintervention.org/article/the-ah… @EuroInterventio @PCRonline @APSIC6

📢When a "perfect" #TAVI isn’t perfect at all. 24h later: acute ischaemia. Cause? A calcified leaflet fragment lodged in the LAD. Aspiration ❌Laser❌ Final solution➡️asiaintervention.org/article/corona… @EuroInterventio @PCRonline @APSIC6

💡Ultralow-contrast #PCI for aorto-ostial RCA lesion using live #IVUS throughout — only 3 ml of contrast used. This "floating IVUS" approach helped avoid geographical miss in a patient with severe #CKD. 👉asiaintervention.org/article/ultral… @EuroInterventio @PCRonline

🫀 New study: #Orbitalatherectomy removes calcium more efficiently on the inner curve of #bendingcoronaryvessels — especially with a large curvature radius & small bend angle. 🔗asiaintervention.org/article/effici… @APSIC6 @EuroInterventio @PCRonline

Eccentric calcium in #tortuousvessels? 🩺 New insights from Tanaka et al. reveal how vessel geometry shapes #orbitalatherectomy performance. 👉asiaintervention.org/article/fine-t… @APSIC6 @EuroInterventio @PCRonline
