@GGadey As a former structural fellow at Lahey I can’t recommend this opportunity enough. This is the best structural program out there. Hidden gem! And Gautam is a great mentor and super fun to work with!

Lahey Hospital and Medical Center is currently looking to hire a structural fellow for the 2026-2027 academic year. Join a collegial and busy team with large volumes that is always coming up with creative solutions! If you would like to apply, please message me.

@rdschaller @ShariqShamimMD @DaneshModi @CMovsowitz LV epicardial patch. If that’s not an option we’re happy to help with venous recanalization. Our team has a lot of experience with these.

@ShariqShamimMD @DaneshModi @CMovsowitz Not this one, Shariq. I've been involved with very challenging ones and this was quite different. We gave it a good go. Perhaps someone out there could.

Patient needing CRT presents with complete bilateral upper venous occlusions preventing access and a large lateral LV pseudoaneurysm precluding an LV lead. What would you do? @DaneshModi @CMovsowitz #EPeeps

@UWMedHeart @JACCJournals @UWCathLab @jamiemccabeMD @ZLSteinberg @DavidElison1 @loganlvincent @donoxorn @ONOCORvascular Congratulation. The discussion is not correct in stating that “electrosurgical retrieval of intracardiac masses has not been done”. Looks like you overlooked a citation. ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

@DougDrachmanMD @SCAI Same thing for XB3.5 and EBU3.5. People keep telling me it’s exactly the same, but they are not! I don’t think it’s that obvious to many, especially not to people in charge of ordering who don’t see any reason to order equipment from the other manufacturer.

This may be obvious to many Interventional Cardiologists, but guide and diagnostic catheters made by different manufacturers may have slightly different shapes. This may influence how they fit and work. Shown are two unused 7F AL 0.75 guides. #CokeVsPepsi #RadialFirst @SCAI

@MusaSharkawiMD @DrSethdb Really nice case. Masterfully done!

Tough case: AMI cardiogenic shock. Poor LV function, severe AS.

@DougDrachmanMD @lindsey_cilia @FaroucJaffer @kevinjamescroce @BrianBergmark @DrDarshanDoshi Congrats and welcome to the club!!!

@lindsey_cilia @FaroucJaffer @kevinjamescroce @BrianBergmark @DrDarshanDoshi So excited for you @lindsey_cilia and for your incredibly bright future!

1 grad down, 1 more to go!! Uber driver home asked me what was happening at the house he picked me up from..I said a graduation ceremony..he asked me if it was from high school? I just said yes. Couldn't even begin. @FaroucJaffer @kevinjamescroce @BrianBergmark @DrDarshanDoshi

@rational_doc @BaoGTran @FaroucJaffer @MassGenBrigham @kevinjamescroce @DrDarshanDoshi @BrianBergmark I’m @MGHHeartHealth IC and CTO trained. IC fellows do all complex cases and are part of CTOs. But how many IC fellows have you trained who would be able to complete a guideliner reverse CART or an ADR with Stringray and Hornet 14 by themselves? CTO fellowship helps with that.

@BaoGTran @FaroucJaffer @MassGenBrigham @kevinjamescroce @DrDarshanDoshi @BrianBergmark What don’t you guys teach interventional fellows complex cases? Imagine CT surgery having fellowships for complex bypass surgeries. I think you guys just need cheap labor. It take 7-8 yrs to get done with one training after medical school already

For an enriched year of complex pci cases including chronic total occlusion, restenosis, atherectomy, and mechanical support, the @MassGenBrigham fellowship will be a great experience. We hope you will consider applying! @kevinjamescroce @DrDarshanDoshi @BrianBergmark

Applications are open for the Mass General Brigham Integrated Complex PCI fellowship now in its third year. Applicants- please forward CV, personal statement, and 2 recommendation letters to Melissa Gayle (magayle@bwh.harvard.edu). The application deadline is September 17th.

Applications due by Friday! Please DM if you have any questions or connect with our MGB CTO/CHIP fellows @lindsey_cilia @mfjbode @mottagolomb Rahul Bhindi

Why is pre-TAVR eval so important? "90% of the procedure" - @AnkurKalraMD Here's an example of "Suicide LV" - TAVR complication: cardionerds.com/55-suicide-lv-… Case by @prkothapalli @doctormontano @DocTravesty @doctormikemg from @dell

Join the @CardioNerds Club TONIGHT at 7pm EST for: 1⃣ pre-TAVR eval by @dinubalanescu 2⃣ A Shocking Case by @SDikdan @TJHeartFellows joinclubhouse.com/event/xno7R4r3 Every Sunday at 7pm EST!

@CardioNerds @SahoorKhan @AnkurKalraMD @prkothapalli @doctormontano @DocTravesty @doctormikemg @Dell Sometimes alcohol septal ablation is not possible due to RCA CTO. In these cases MitraClip may be an alternative to prevent “Suicide left ventricle” as shown in our recent case report. @SuzanneJBaron @GGadey onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cc…

@rajivxgulati Nice work! Ostial flash balloon can help in these cases as well. Regarding the ostial ISR. Did you IVUS? Essential to ensure maximum expansion as stent during index procedure appears very underexpanded and actual stenosis is sometimes not appreciated on angio.

Protruding stent - one option

@vigyanbang @smuktas @diljonchahal @RameshDaggubati @SandeepNathanMD @KaulP @stentdoc1 @vijaybang211 @GGadey @ArjunMajithiaMD @ctpyne @CMichaelGibson @ajaykirtane @rwyeh @FaroucJaffer @MintzJody None of the above. Further workup. Is he Asian? Did you IVUS both limbs? Any ischemia? -> stress PET to quantify. If large >10% ischemia would consider PCI for prognosis. 50% distal LM doesn’t look that severe, LCx ostium appears more tight. More IVUS to determine strategy.
