It was a great honour to perform a live CTO case from Victoria, BC, Canada for the 17th Edition of CTO Essentials (@ctoessentials) Meeting in Istanbul Turkey. We displayed a complex LAD CTO and demonstrated the hybrid approach with an “algorithmic approach” to risk. Ultimately, we used retrograde pathways with a complex epicardial channel to successfully treat the LAD CTO. Many thanks to a stellar panel with Kambis Mashayekhi, Tarik Rashid, Felix Woitek, Kevin Bainey and Mohamed Aymen Bin Abdessalem. A big thanks to my wonderful team to come together in the early hours of the morning to transmit this live case from Western Canada. Finally, a big thanks to my dear friend Omer Goktekin for the invitation.

The first oral PCSK9 inhibitor is approved and will become available in the next couple of weeks. At ~$300/month, this may become the next out-of-pocket, direct-to-consumer option after GLP-1RA? I'm considering it myself, so I don't have to deal with insurance prior-authorization nightmares.

This state-of-the-art review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the no-reflow/slow-flow phenomenon, covering invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tools, pharmacological and interventional treatment strategies, and the key clinical gaps that still need to be addressed in the field. eurointervention.pcronline.c…

Complete revasc (CR) in pts with non-shock STEMI and multivessel ds. reduces MACE. But is the best timing for non-culprit lsn PCI immediate (during primary PCI) or staged? Our new meta-analysis publ in Circ CV Interv suggests immediate CR may increase mortality, same as in shock.

You’d think that a major cardiology journal would be able to distinguish between a study design appropriate for causal language and not.
Multimodality non-invasive cardiovascular screening reduces 5-year all-cause mortality in both sexes!

@dukwoo_park with an overview of #TCTAP2026 - one of my favourite data driven interventional meetings
2500 delegates, 13 live cases and 600+ faculty
Lots of new RCT data being shown

@BaineyKevin discussing short dapt in ACS- is it always suitable?
Short DAPT is indicated in HBR pts presenting with ACS- questions remain around dual risk pts, and how to identify them.
Much of the work derived from korean populations where propensity to bleed vs ischemic risk different from European populations

Honored to present this contrast-free complex multivessel PCI live case alongside @BaineyKevin for SCAI/CAIC Summit. Insightful discussion and an excellent patient outcome! @SCAI

We deeply mourn the passing of Dr. Eugene Braunwald, one of the most influential figures in cardiovascular medicine.
His work reshaped how medicine approaches cardiovascular disease and the resilience of the human heart. His influence lives on in the guidelines, in the physicians he trained, and in the patients whose lives were quietly extended by his curiosity.
Dr. Braunwald’s legacy will continue to guide and inspire us for generations to come. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.

I sat down with my mentor Dr. Eugene Braunwald for a 3 part series about his life.
In part 1 we talk about his early years:
"Everything changed on March 12, 1938 when Hitler marched in with the Nazis & my father was arrested"

In this @JAMACardiology viewpoint, Drs. Armstrong, Bainey, & Granger advocate for aligning STEMI time metrics with current first-point-of-contact capabilities to ensure optimized outcomes for all patients, regardless of geographic location.
