@DrMarthaGulati @MGsHusband So sorry for your lost
English
We lost our mum last night.
Gareth’s mum was feisty, formidable, funny & loved fiercely- particularly she loved her son @MGsHusband so much. And so she loved her daughter-in-law as much, as well. And I loved her.
We will miss you, dear Joan. Our hearts are breaking without you

60-year-old female patient with a history of chronic constipation since adolescence, treated with various laxatives. She recently experienced worsening abdominal pain. Based on the findings of this colonoscopy, what's your diagnosis❔

In the 1960s, a young cardiologist came to the US with a radical dream.
He wanted to build a device that could shock the heart back to life - from inside the body.
Everyone told him it was insane.
They laughed.
They rejected him.
He built it anyway.
Here's his story:

Would offer IVUS guided PCI for both , DAPT, postpone surgery by 3-6 months versus medical therapy and proceed to surgery… post op exercise/PT would be difficult… patients tends not to exert themselves knowing 90% heart blockage

#YesCCT Clinical Conundrum. Came across this case while reading CTs:
🧿60👱♂️ Diabetic
🧿No angina but has some dyspnea on exertion
🧿Pre-op for knee replacement. Not functional🏃♂️

What would you do? 🤔

Do we really need Microvascular Assessment in the Cath lab? Come to @Dallas_PCI on 9/16 to learn from Dr. Widmer (@DrArgyle), a leader in coronary physiology, about the emerging role of microvascular assessment in PCI. Fellow scholarships available at dallaspci.com

62 year old with dyspnea and palpitations for (only) 2 weeks. Massive biatrial myxomas. Now that has got to be real rare! Courtesy: Jeton Bytyci.

This patient presented with restenosis at follow‐up after stent implantation in the right coronary artery (arrows on angiogram and telling angiotomography images, top panel). On IVUS, all stent struts are seen at proximal and distal references (e.g. 20 mm and 25 mm), whereas at the fracture site there is superficial calcification from 11 to 4 o’clock and no stent strut is seen (arrow). @hect2701 @mmamas1973 @evandrofilhobr

The story behind the “heart in heart” image from my previous post. Long instent RCA CTO. Class III angina. No septal collaterals. Failed antegrade. Retro via conus-PLV epicardial. Unfortunate workhorse wire perf in distal PDA at end needing coils 😔!No angina at 4 week follow-up.

93928 (regular PCI) ~11 wRVU
93941 (STEMI) ~12 wRVU
93943 (CTO) ~ 12 wRVU
CABG ~30-45 wRVU depending on number of grafts.
STEMI is grossly unpaid for saving someone’s life at middle of night when a lot of dermatological procedures done between 8-5 paid a lot more. Plumber will charge more for home plumbing emergency in the middle of night.

I wonder what are the RVUs for PCI &CABG?

At $57.4/RVU that’s a whopping $689 (minus billing fees). No plumber will come to your house in Boston unless it is a $800 job or more, cash on the spot. The hospital however gets paid extremely well for the DRG. All this means is that although well paid, we are all employees.
