Hi @AsherElad, we have a very vibrant PCI Imagers WhatsApp group with about 309 participants from around the world. Including the mentors in the field of Imaging. Like Gary Mintz, Ziad Ali, Julio Guagliumi, and many more. It is a balanced imaging gp with both IVUS and OCT. You are welcome to join this gp. chat.whatsapp.com/DnWTny8jkPS5ZX…
In all so called cirrhosis (1) look at JVP for y descent (2) Take a lateral chest xray for pericardial calcification (3) Do echo specifically to exclude constriction. Distended IVC with traffic jam sign will lead to diagnosis in subsequent steps without much traffic jam in thought process. Cath and eliciting typical finding is an art.

Grateful to my fellows who did almost all primary PTCAs. My kids are superb guys, dedicated highly skilled and enthusiastic.
Only an excellent team work can lead to this achievement.
Me only coordinating everything, mainly controlling academics without compromise. Enter the cath lab only when requested by APs, associate profs when they need my help. But enter uninvited during cath for constriction😀, my weakness.
Credit goes to the entire team
