Fascinating change I just read @stevenstrogatz ´s article It contains a statement: “It shall not matter who will find solutions” 600 problems have been solved by AI Peer review still has to find the how and why And for all of us remains the challenge “Ask the right questions!”

euroswisscto.com impressive conference! 🙏@dantheman6559 @KambisMashayek1 @swissCTO for inviting me! As to the question when to use the liquid #CoMiWire: Consider it whenever the tip of your microcatheter is within intact body of CTO to find out more about the distality!

A highlight learning experience presented at austrianchipcto.com in Krems, Austria by @swissCTO @maxFwill read the free original paper, train the method on the bench, and save your next #coronaryperforation patient easily! mdpi.com/2077-0383/15/8/3163
Having a GEC in Place offers several advantages: support, (partial) sealing of the perforation, the ability to inchworm, precise identification of the exit point, and avoidance of prolonged ischemia from balloon occlusion.

Cathlab of the future 2026 Portoroz was a wonderful conference Thank you Jurij Avramovic and team!
It was a great honour to perform and transmit a live case from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada for the Cathlab of the Future CTO /CHIP Meeting 2026 in Portoroz, Slovenia. We performed a successful complex retrograde CTO case with a long heavily calcified occlusion (JCTO-4). An elegant demonstration of incorporation of hydrodynamic contrast recanalization (#HDR) strategy into the standard working hybrid algorithm, and ultimately tackling this with a retrograde (RDR) approach via septal and epicardial channels. Many thanks to Jurij Avramovic Gregoric for the invitation, and to the stellar panel with @SmithElliotjs, @stefan_harb, Maoto Habara and @KovacicMihajlo for the comments and interactive discussion. I am extremely grateful to APT Medical for supporting this case. We were able to demonstrate the use of Anyreach ARP 0.3 and even 0.6 wires in the successful crossing of tortuous epicardial collateral channels. Finally, a massive thanks to my colleagues and wonderful team in Victoria who came together to transmit this case in the early morning out of hours to resolve the challenging issue with the time zone difference between Western Canada and Central Europe.   #Cardiology #cardiotwitter #PCI #complexPCI #CTO #CTOPCI   @Can_CTO @SanjogKalra @DrDarshanDoshi @KambisMashayek1 @RinfretStephane @AgostoniPF @mornei2011 @swissCTO @A_B_Hall @YbarraLuiz @dautov_MD @ammozid @MohamadAlmutawa @BElbarouni @jcspratt @tomkaier @AnjaKsnes @RajaHatem @LAzzaliniMD @jedicath @Laserrman @FaroucJaffer @MohanedEgred @AHRavandi @DrIHHashmi1 @ogoktekin @OpolskiMP @K_DeSilva @KVM83 @FaurieBenjamin1 @MichaelMegalyMD @ignamatsant @agtruesdell @ziadalinyc @rickytiago @sharmaine0206 @aspergian1 @realarainmd @MauroCarlino3 @yassersadeknhi @MdM_Ochiai @SarahFairley7 @mbmcentegart
