Very glad to participate with 2 posters in this year's online only @cvinnovations!
Both from the PROGRESS CTO registry:

#1: cdmcd.co/b4n78w

#cardiotwitter #ACCFIT #1: 1-year outcomes in patients undergoing CTO PCI according to target vessel.
Previous work pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25442459/ had identified circumflex lesions as having ⬇️procedural outcomes.

Our retrospective study evaluating fluoroscopy and cineangiography parameters before & after x-ray system optimization. Found reduced patient cine but not fluoro doses. Operator dose not measured. #cardiotwitter @evivemmou @Bavana_Rangan @esbrilakis @MHIF_Heart
1/4 Cine adjustments: from from 10R/minute at 15 frames/second with 0.24 μGy/frame to 5R/minute at 10 frames/second with 0.14 μGy/frame plus Copper (Cu) filter 0.1/0.3mm. 2/4
