💥#SHOCKWAVE C2+ Club 100💥 What does that mean⁉️ Time for reflection… In the last 8 months, we performed intravascular lithotripsy #IVL with the improved SHOCKWAVE C2+ catheter in more than 100 patients. With its 120 impulses, it gives us 50% more power to efficiently treat eccentric and especially nodular calcium.  On the day, when we got this trophy, I had to treat a patient in whom a single C2+ catheter was not enough… Only after 120 impulses each, a heavily calcified ostial RCA and an LAD in-stent restenosis in a bare metal stent from 2009 expanded well and could be treated with a drug eluting stent. How privileged are we in these days that we can treat these super-complex lesions so easily and safely? 😊 I am looking forward to the next innovations for #CalciumCracking! 🫶🏻 #SHOCKWAVE Shockwave Medical #Calcium #CalciumCracking #IntravascularLithotripsy #CalcifiedNodule #IVL

To my knowledge, this is the first idiopathic PVC/VT #ablation using the #BostonScientific #FaraPulse #PFA system. The #PVC was mapped to the aorto-mitral continuity (#AMC) area. The FaraPulse, configured in a basket shape, was used to ablate this region. Initial results over the first few days have been promising👍 While the FaraPulse is designed primarily for pulmonary vein isolation (#PVI), it can also be effective for certain PVC and #VT ablations. In this case, we used #ICE to visualize the left main artery, ensuring we were sufficiently distant to avoid coronary vasospasm. The potential advantage of using the FaraPulse for AMC PVCs is its ability to achieve better depth and transmurality of the lesion, which is crucial for this type of PVC that originates deep within the tissue.

Intravascular Lithotripsy System (IVL) ShockFast is a pretreatment solution designed to effectively crack calcified lesions and maximize stent expansion. It is a safe, effective, and easy-to-use option for vascular procedures. IVL is the only technology that can crack both medial and intimal calcium while minimizing trauma to the vessel wall. The therapy involves a series of pulses to break up the calcium. 💪 With its proven safety, efficacy, and ease of use, Shunmei Medical's Intravascular Lithotripsy System represents a breakthrough solution for effortlessly tackling vascular calcium.

Intrauterine Transfusions - seeing is believing! The subtle visual aspects of intrauterine transfusions are undoubtedly essential to safety.  However, when the fetal hematocrit is normalizing, the 2D evidence (intravascular swirling) of admixing of donor and fetal blood may not be easy to see.  Solution: simply turn on Samsung’s MV-Flow technology as you transfuse.  As you can see, the “cartwheeling” intravascular color instantly verifies proper infusion technique when the density differential was not so easily seen on 2D.  Settings used were middle level on tissue suppression and sensitivity. #SamsungHealth #SamsungMedison #BostonImaging #MedicalCityHealth #fetalmedicine #intrauterinetransfusion 

Hallo a case of total SFA occlusion,TASC II D, presented with toe and heel gangrene. The patient was a surgical fit and she preferred Endovascular intervention key points of success in like this case are 1) Angulation of fluoroscopy at level of CFA to differentiate between SFA and Profunda 2) Crushing the cap of occlusion of SFA using guiding Cather ( as BERN) 3) Subintimal crossing of Total SFA occlusion 4) Re-entry 5) Prolonged balloon dilation ( 3 minutes) 6) Flow limiting dessection or recoils need SE stent / or primary Cover stent insertion ( endoluminal bypass ) Number 6 is not in this case #Vascular #endovascular
