My #interventionalcardiology Toolkit 🧰⚙️🔨: Reverse the challenge: tackling complex #bifurcation PCI
🔗pcronline.com/Cases-resource…
Severely angulated side branches can turn conventional wiring into a frustrating challenge. This article, submitted by Nima Mohan and @RGeuns, breaks down the reverse wiring technique, from wire shaping and setup to step-by-step SB engagement, with practical tips on when to streamline the approach or escalate to balloon 🎈 blocking.

Original Article: Tricuspid-Valve Intervention in Heart Failure (TRIC-I-HF trial) nej.md/4ilZJGr
#ESCCongress | @escardio
ALT A flowchart showing the win-ratio analysis for death, hospitalization for heart failure, and quality-of-life improvement (first coprimary end point).
ALT Three graphs showing Kaplan–Meier estimates for prespecified events as adjudicated by the clinical-events committee at 3 years. Panel A shows freedom from death from any cause or hospitalization for heart failure (second coprimary end point), Panel B survival, and Panel C freedom from hospitalization for heart failure.
ALT Two bar graphs showing the severity of tricuspid regurgitation and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. The bar graphs summarize the severity of tricuspid regurgitation as adjudicated by the echocardiographic core laboratory (Panel A) and the severity of heart failure as defined by the NYHA functional class (Panel B) at baseline, 30 days, and 1 year in both trial groups.

Presented at #ESCCongress:
In patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and heart failure, transcatheter tricuspid-valve repair plus medical therapy was superior to medical therapy alone in reducing hospitalizations for heart failure and deaths. Full TRIC-I-HF trial results: nej.md/4ilZJGr
