One of the focuses of #TEACH is exploring the #hemodynamics of #MCS devices. I wanted to start a discussion about one of the historically most commonly used devices, the #IABP. The #hemodynamic effects of the #IABP continue to be debated and in some instances misunderstood. 1/6

On May 21, 1969, what is now known as Loyola University Medical Center opened and for 50 years, we’ve been providing patient-focused care while treating the whole person, both body and soul. Happy 50th anniversary Loyola University Medical Center! #50YearsOfTreatingTheHumanSpirit

This is a much awaited and helpful guide from SCAI...hopefully now we can all start speaking the same language when discussing CGS onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with the FlowTriever System appears safe and effective in patients with acute intermediate-risk PE, with significant improvement in RV/LV ratio and minimal major bleeding. fal.cn/AvaF #JACCINT

very nice way to remember the orientation of vein grafts 👌🏻

Icing on the cake at another awesome #slenderclub: A complete lecture on the past, present & future of #RadialFirst and #ldTRA told *entirely* through (well-drawn & extremely amusing) cartoons. Not a single data slide. Not too many people who could pull that off. 😂 @ferdikiem

How will AI change the field of medicine? Dr. Eric Topol says that as it becomes more advanced, AI will free up doctors to "get back that human touch" in treating patients. You can see the full interview tomorrow on GPS, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN

One of the best MI #cardiogenicshock management slides I have seen from Holger Thiele that incorporates evidence based guidelines into an algorithm. Not a single Class Ia recommendation and only revascularization is class Ib. This highlight how much more research is needed!
