📖 New research from the TRANSFORM I substudy shows that #OCT-detected suspected intraluminal thrombus (SIT) before #drugcoatedballoon angioplasty was linked to worse 6-month angiographic outcomes, including higher rates of binary restenosis.

Interventional cardiology or heart failure? Both. Grateful to have led this work with my coauthors on the future of training.

Congratulations to @mderdem3 on her publication this week in @MyJSCAI examining our experiences at @HMethodistCV in patients with severe #Mitralregurgitation
At @MethodistHosp we found no sex differences in time from diagnosis to referral to our structural team, with the delay time shortening over time #valveteam

📖In complex #CAD, #AI–Heart Team agreement is higher when narrative inputs are used—75% vs 35% with structured inputs. Discordance was associated with higher MACE risk and may reflect greater patient complexity.

Among the criticisms of #CTO #PCI is the higher risk compared to regular PCI procedures. This perception stems from the procedure's higher complexity.
The unmeasured factor is that CTO PCI is usually performed by operators who can identify and treat possible complications faster and have the awareness to prevent problems or manage them.
Our study from the National Trinetix database @MyJSCAI, led by @AdhamGR97 and @MohamedDomaa, compared 30-day outcomes between CTO PCI and ELECTIVE (non-MI) non-CTO PCI, and also trended outcomes over three recent periods (2014-2017, 2018-2021, 2022-2025).
Our major findings are as follows
1-CTO PCI risk of pericardiocentesis was higher than non-CTO PCI (0.2% vs 0.09%) but remains very small at 0.2%
2-CABG after CTO PCI was higher than non-CTO PCI; we could not determine the cause, but it was mostly related to failure and the need for revascularization rather than complications.
Also, the trend of CABG after CTO PCI has been decreasing.
3-Finally, none of this led to adverse outcomes, as there was absolutely no difference in mortality between the two groups.
In the hands of experienced operators, CTO PCI can be safe and effective.
