How would you tackle this heavily calcified LAD with calcified #nodule that was appropriately identified by intravascular imaging? #OCT
doi.org/10.1093/ehjcr/…
In this #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial we take a deep dive into the Rx of #calcified coronary lesions.

Calcified lesions are top of the totem pole of complex PCI
Main armamentaria are balloon-based #IVL & ablation-based (rotational/orbital) techniques, while ancillary tools eg guide extension catheters are useful too. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/intrav…

What do you see with this non-compliant balloon in this calcified RCA?
What would you do next? Poll in next tweet! doi.org/10.1093/ehjcr/…

1/24 This month’s #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial focuses on percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion.
Is #LAAO the exact solution for preventing stroke & embolism in #AF pts who can’t tolerate #OAC?
Or, a new problem while seeking a solution?

🎯 The rationale of #LAAO
🔸 In non-valvular #AF patients, 90% of thrombus is located in the #LAA
🔸 These thrombi embolise to the 🧠 & cause #stroke
🎯 Don't miss the ‘#EHRA_ESC #EAPCI expert consensus document on catheter-based #LAAO –an update’ doi.org/10.1093/europa…

#LAA closure devices should be safe, efficent and easy to deploy.
📌 Currently available catheter-based devices for #LAAO have different principles.
A- Plug ➡️ Watchman
B- Pacifier ➡️ Amplatzer Amulet
C- Ligation ➡️ Lariat

2. It’s cardiac amyloidosis! Here is a great resource from @escardio WG on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases to start with

3. First, what is amyloidosis?
Amyloidosis occurs when abnormal proteins misfold and deposit in tissues as beta-pleated sheets. These disrupt tissue structure and can cause damage to many different organs.

Honeycomb-like structure, a rare cause of myocardial ischaemia has multiple communicating channels divided by thin septa. Angiographically fuzzy & hazy appearance often without significant stenosis, they're best detected on high-resolution IVUS/OCT
