💊 Innovation's promise, but at what cost? Newer meds shine, yet exclude many. Older, affordable remedies beckon. Can we reshape the narrative, celebrating accessibility alongside progress?

Here’s to an inspiring teacher, a lifelong learner, a thoughtful physician, a gifted interventionalist, an accomplished scientist, an exemplary leader, and a monumental, spirited force in the world of interventional & structural cardiology. Thanks, clifford jay kavinsky

My post-coronary angiography patient talk revisited after ORBITA and ORBITA-2: "Dear patient with chest pain and no pills, if I fix this artery you won't live one day longer, but you may have less angina, or you can take one or more pills and achieve more or less the same".

PCI is effective at reducing angina when the target coronary lesion is responsible for angina. Sounds obvious, but bears repeating because of the implications: This is a DIAGNOSTIC problem, not a therapeutic one. We don't have a perfect test linking symptoms to disease.
