2mm coronary stents should only be used for bailout purposes in limiting dissections. Nobody has refractory angina or prognostic ischemia from a 2mm vessel. #accfit #CardioTwitter

The fee for service/RVU system creates an unhealthy tension between getting paid for your work and doing what's right for the patient.

Has anyone trained a nurse practitioner to assist in the cath lab in a non academic setting? Trying to increase the skill set and job satisfaction of a trusted colleague... but trying to figure this out from a credentialing standpoint

You are a 48 yo cardiologist and have been experiencing typical (CCS 3) anginal symptoms. CTA shows 90% mid LAD, no calcium, no bifurcation disease. Your doc gives you two options, which do you choose ? @jspertus @djc795 @HadyLichaaMD @yourheartdoc1 @hmkyale @CMichaelGibson

Is anyone attempting catheter based debulking of aggressive left sided IE with embolic protection in pts not candidates for early intervention? We have had a couple of recent bad outcomes in young patients who were not early surgical candidates… @HadyLichaaMD @AntoniousAttall
