40 y, M, discovered to have DM on admission, inferior STEMI. Guess which catheter did we use? How would you treat? A) CABG B) Multi-vessel PCI If yes (PCI), how would you proceed? #PrimaryPCI #multivesseldisease @mirvatalasnag @basem_enany @MReda306 @Sudanheartgroup

Thank you all for your comments, The challenges were : Acute presentation with inferior STEMI ( unfavorable gor surgeons) Diabetic with poor distal targets Young patients , so we need to preserve distal targets for future CABG as possible. stented distal RCA 3.5x33 DES , stented LCx 2.5x33 DES , ostial LAD till mid segment 2.75 x 44 DES postdilated with 3.5 NC high pressure , 2.5x25 NC for mid-distal RCA then DCB 40mm

The cut Balloon technique to seal distal perforation if you cannot do or have not coils. The idea of the technique is that the antegrade blood flow will fill the cut part of the balloon so it will obstruct the flow then it will thrombose.

This technique is used for distal wire perforation and you should embolize it just before the perforation .... any balloon 2 mm or more will do the job .... length 12 or 15 ... cut it into two halves and use the cut distal part as in the video

Elon Mask should provide Starlink to Gaza. Israel has CUT OFF ALL COMMUNICATIONS in Gaza! Israel just launched "unprecedented attacks throughout the Gaza Strip, cutting off communications and the internet. #IsraeliNewNazism #starlinkforgaza #BlackoutGenocide @elonmusk

Just did a re-look angiogram in one of my CTO patients, actually ended up treating dx stent outflow with DCBs. The curious part the patient complains of hand burning/prickling sensation. US Doppler revealed radial occlusion and thrombus. Stick radial distally and dottered a 6-7F slender sheath with 20cc syringe vacuum. Got this baby.

Nice on-call 11pm case. 60s yo male with inferior STEMI. 1.5 years ago TAVR. 2 weeks ago streptococcus viridans bacteriemia, TTE/TEE haziness with unclear vegetation query. On ABtp since 2 weeks. Cath during TAVR showed no to trivial CAD. 🧵 1/3

This is my 3rd case of RA thrombosis (all are staged PCI after 2 days of PPCI), they all have no pulse, RA extensive thrombosis. Pulseless puncture & combination of balloon angioplasty & aspiration clear RA and complete procedure as usual.What is your experience in this regard?

45 y , male , smoker , came with inf. STEMI, found to have severe MS on echo before PPCI. Sinus rhythm...in Angio, embolic occlusion of RPDA 👇👇👇... with clean coronaries.. only thrombus aspiration done @mirvatalasnag @mmamas1973 @NosairMohamed @MohanedEgred @basem_enany

The lesson here is ; always think of separate ostia if you don't see the suspected ostial occlusion ... disengage the GC and inject like in this case.

30y , F , pregnant 6 weeks , MVR and TV repair 6 ys ago , sinus rhythm. Her Dr Stopped warfarin and started clexane but she got it unfortunately OD not BD for 20 days. Came to our hospital having pulmonary edema.similar to your case @mirvatalasnag .. echo will follow👇👇

40 Ys , M , no risk factors, Anterior STEMI when arrived in cath lab , pain relieved, vitally stable. Angio below 👇👇👇👇. How would you treat? Would you marinate with GPI ? Or PCI straight ahead? Which stent strategy? Ostial LAD or LAD-LM? Re-cross the LCX routinely or not ?

How would you cross this (almost U-turn) LCX ... what's your tips to wire and then deliver the stent distally?@mirvatalasnag @mmamas1973 @mate2k @momermd @AlyTohamy1 @evandrofilhobr @aksyksvsclb @MohanedEgred @Hragy @AntoniousAttall @A_N_Mahmoud_MD @Obisht

Thanks all for the very valuable comments... I was working via dlTRA , 6F XB3.5 , my strategy for such case was Whisper extra support with a big 2ry curve and balloon support , pushing toward LAD and tried to make it to prolapse in LAD. it went with difficulty after some time.
