@LAzzaliniMD Curious about the indication for this case. Fixing an apical LAD, in my experience, rarely results in any significant benefit whether it be symptoms, EF, QOL.

@AntoniousAttall @DrJayMohan @DrAmirKaki @RyanMadderMD @toreyj01 95+% of my cases are done w IVUS/OCT. There are many who don’t use/don’t understand/can’t interpret properly. 1 thing to throw a catheter down a vessel, another to understand and properly interpret the images. How to address?

@AHMalik_MD @AllaqabanSuhail @mandeep_mayo @DougDrachmanMD @djc795 Asking for guidance or help, when appropriate, demonstrates wisdom and humility. The goal is solving a problem for the patient, not pondering potential litigation down the road. Good question

@AuroraCVFellows @MarekRadomski71 @Umair2017 @Obisht @jl35wilsonMD @agtruesdell @DrIHHashmi1 @BaoGTran @jedicath @kerrigjl how best to treat? Prox, mid ISR, distal? IVUS mandatory to determine mode of failure, then IFR guided revasc of prox and distal? Need to preserve LIMA site
