Five-Year Outcomes after PCI or CABG for Left Main Coronary Disease
Looks like another hit on cardiac surgery volumes coming - this time in patients with left main disease. At our center, we already see a big decline in straight-forward CABG or surgical AVRs now and the acuity of the patients that do make it in for cardiac surgery is is becoming higher. https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1909406 Abstract BACKGROUND Long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)...

Official Similar mechanisms/presentation thread
There are many question where they give you the presentation followed by the diagnosis and then ask "Which of the following has similar mechanism" as the given condition. I am starting this thread in the hope that we can bunch together these "similar mechanism" conditions to help us on the test. I'll start: Patient is having mucosal bleeding following percutaneous coronary intervention. Abciximab was give during this procedure. Which of the AR disorder has similar mechanism which led to...

Clinical question of the week: should RBBB be an indication for primary PCI?
In a patient with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial infarction, a new-onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) is considered an indication for reperfusion therapy i.e. primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) or thrombolysis. In contrast, a new-onset of right bundle branch block is not considered as an indication for administration of reperfusion therapy in this context. The question arises: (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)

For interventional cardiologists: do you use vascular closure devices at PCI puncture sites?
This study looks at 85 048 PCIs done in Michigan from 2007 to 2009. It would be interesting to know how many of them were really needed, but that’s not the point of this study. Just over a third of these patients had a vascular closure device placed over the site of femoral puncture, and these patients had fewer complications and fewer transfusions. If you’re an interventional cardiologist, read on for the subgroup effects, etc. (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)
