Michael foley presenting orbita 2 analysis showing that ffr and ifr predict angina benefit from pci. Absolute values matter more than dichotimous cutoff. I would personally like to see how microvascular function fits into this @rallamee @mirvatalasnag @OKhaliqueMD @Hragy @ColletCarlos @DrPeterOKane @gap0161prevent @TTelila @alaide_chief #TCT2024

Just in case you thought the ORBITA team had gone on summer vacation… The first ORBITA-MOON case was completed yesterday. Another n-of-1 trial that might have some interesting results. Well done @ShaynaChotai on achieving the first of many big milestones during your PhD!

.@FloSimader on #ORBITA-2 at #EuroPCR: 📌Poor correlation between symptoms & disease severity 📌Symptom nature is a powerful predictor of the placebo-controlled efficacy of #PCI 📌Rose angina & typical angina are excellent predictors of the placebo-controlled efficacy of PCI 📌Other symptoms such as SOB are poor predictors of the placebo-controlled efficacy of PCI

The symptom stratified analysis of ORBITA2 and the ORBITA-STAR trial both presented at #EuroPCR2024 and simultaneously published in @JACCJournals by @FloSimader and @rajkumar_chris. PCI isn’t a therapy for all symptoms, it’s a therapy for angina @rallamee @mshunshin

🔥 Important new insights from ORBITA-2 study presented today at #EuroPCR 👉🏼 More angina symptoms do not necessarily reflect more extended coronary disease 👉🏼 The clinical history is a strong predictor of the efficacy of PCI 🚨Interroge your patients! @PCRonline @rallamee

Impact not impact factor - a new vision from @hmkyale for the new #JACC
We Are Chasing Impact, Not Impact Factor—my video w/my vision for #JACC. I was frustrated with the peer-reviewed journal establishment, and now I am part of it. So…can we create author-centricity, and high-value for society. @JACCJournals youtube.com/watch?v=bbHSR6gS…

Q: Does blinding matter in RCTs of surgical procedures? A: Depends on the endpoint @JAMASurgery We compared placebo-controlled and open-label surgical trials to identify when the placebo effect is most powerful @rallamee @KatieEljadi @ImperialNHLI jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Delighted to see our ORBITA-COSMIC design paper published in Eurointervention. Now for the results! My thanks as ever to my supervisors and the incredible ORBITA team @rallamee @mshunshin @rajkumar_chris @fiyyazAJ @FloSimader @drgrahamcole @ProfDFrancis
Have you already metabolized the outcomes of ORBITA 2? Next stop in the ORBITA program is called ORBITA-COSMIC. The coronary sinus Reducer (CSR) is an hourglass-shaped device which creates an artificial stenosis in the coronary sinus. The ORBITA-COSMIC trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial investigating the efficacy of the CSR on quantified myocardial perfusion and stable angina. Here is the study rationale and design paper. eurointervention.pcronline.c…
