Dr. Prokhor Pavlov, MD Prokhor, while in Russia, 3 weeks ago I travelled to Yoshkar-Ola town to learn DRON technique from its inventor - Dr Alexey Shubin, the Master of endovascular interventions. We did 3 CTOs on that day with DRON.

Back to pre-covid times: last Sunday in Kerala - faculty at CHIP Summit, then worked in Brisbane, Thu-Fri in Melboune 3 CTOs and 5 orbitals proctoring (first in Victoria). Now around Longreach for outreach cardiac clinic.

Proctoring is seldom sightseeing. Airport-hotel-hospital-airport (the middle 2 get repeated). Sunday before 2 days proctoring in Borneo (6 CTOs, complex rota cases, multivessel PCI) - spent half day on a small unreal island. Recharge.

Since the end of 2015 I’ve tried looking for alternative accesses for CTO. For example Double radial one hand access DRON

This is before. Look after! All things considered - amazing outcome for the patient. Patient is the one with the disease. Great job Aleksei!

Proctoring is always learning new! Malaysia teaches me DCBs in de novo lesions - 15 years of experience. 50% of all PCI in Malaysia is now with DCBs. Imaging, lesion preparation 1:1 is a must. I’m converted. This week at TPCH 14 stents, 10 DCBs. More evidence for metal-free PCI.

Two fantastic days with 9 super tough post-CABG CTO cases at Dr Kambis Mashayekhi’s post-CABG CTO workshop. Thank you Kambis for this great educational experience that we had with friends in Lahr!

3 successful Live CTO cases over past week: at MalaysiaLive (KL), 1st Russian CTO club (Kazan) and finally at a unique 5th ‘DCB in CTO’ meeting in Kota Kinabalu. Keep learning every day!

3D wiring and TD-ADR learning for 1 week with Dr Okamura. While 3D wiring is a skill for everyone to master, TD-ADR is a great option to solving extraplaque situation. Big thanks to Drs Atsunori Okamura, Ryouhei Yoshikawa, Kota Tanaka for training me

3rd ANZ CCT in Brisbane over 2 days: 8 Live cases, lectures, cases by attendees, workshops D Walters, M Habara, J Sapontis, S Harding, S Lo, J Somaratne, S Rinfret, S Eccleshall & more CTO/CCT champions. Tones positive feedback! Thank you everyone for making it A success! #ANZCCT

10 successful complex CTO cases over 3 days in Penang and Ipoh, Malaysia: training dedicated operations, professional networking, making friends and always learning new skills for my patients in Australia

CTO-style Uzbek plov (pilaf) this early morning for cathlab team. 9 kg of the product were successfully gone in 1 hour.

Busy DCB week: M-Tue: 6 CTO cases in Malaysia and learning DCBs, F: 2 Live cases to EPIC from TPCH: LM Robital and hybrid RCA CTO (DES+2 DCBs). S: DCB Debate in denovo with Scott Harding at EPIC. Less metal. Sometimes.

It was a great honour to participate in the international charity CTO Live Aid event with TPCH cathlab team. Post-CABG calcified RCA CTO treated with rotacut and DCB with good result for the patient.
