Combined rotational excimer lASER coronary atherectomy (RASER) in non-crossable, non-dilatable coronary artery disease: Observations from a single center
CONCLUSIONS: In our retrospective, single-center study, patients with CAD who were deemed appropriate for RASER PCI had a high peri-procedural mortality rate. In this context, adjunctive RASER therapy provides acceptable safety and efficacy as a bailout strategy, with at least 3 out of 5 patients achieving satisfactory procedural and angiographic results. Randomized controlled trials are needed to comprehensively compare the clinical outcomes of high-risk RASER PCI vs conservative medical therapy.PMID:38377536 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00267 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)

Platelet Fc γRIIa expression in patients with stable coronary artery disease
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to patients with MI, patients with stable CAD had, on average, lower platelet FcɣRIIa. However, the range of platelet FcɣRIIa was similar to that seen in patients with MI. These results support future studies designed to assess the prognostic implications of platelet FcɣRIIa in patients with stable CAD.PMID:38335505 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00247 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)

Sex differences in the well-being of interventional cardiologists
J Invasive Cardiol. 2024 Feb;36(2). doi: 10.25270/jic/23.00151.ABSTRACTSeveral studies suggest differences in burnout and coping mechanisms between female and male physicians. We conducted an international, online survey exploring sex-based differences in the well-being of interventional cardiologists. Of 1251 participants, 121 (9.7%) were women. Compared with men, women were more likely to be single and under 50 years old, and they asked more often for development opportunities and better communication with administration. Overall burnout was similar between women and men, but women interventional cardiology attendings we...
