Coronary Function Testing: Seeking Answers for Refractory Chest Pain

Feb 22 2025 34 mins  
In this video conversation featuring Connor Tice, MD, John Blair, MD, Larry Dean, MD, MSCAI, and Morton Kern, MD, MSCAI, the panel explores the role of coronary function testing in providing diagnostic clarity and potential therapeutic options for patients presenting with angina, despite having nonobstructive coronary arteries on coronary angiography. This discussion highlights key

Comparision of Different PCI Strategies for Coronary DES ISR: A Bayesian Network Analysis

Jan 31 2025 18 mins  
A Bayesian network meta-analysis of 30 studies involving 8,016 patients compared 12 PCI strategies for treating DES-ISR. Prakash Raj Oli, MBBS, Andrew Goldsweig, MD, FSCAI, Evan Shlofmitz, DO, discuss these findings in an insightful video interview, emphasizing key clinical takeaways and the need for further research.

Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stage E Shock: Insights From the RECOVER III Study

Jan 29 2025 26 mins  
Drs. Andrew Goldsweig, MD, MS, FSCAI, Ivan Hanson, MD, FSCAI, Bill O’Neil, MD, MSCAI, Srihari Naidu, MD, FSCAI & M. Babar Basir, DO, FSCAI discuss this original research in JSCAI highlighting the characteristics and outcomes of the SCAI stage E shock patients with AMICS undergoing PCI who improved to stage C or D within 24 hours of Impella support (“responders”) vs those

The Utility and Validation of SCAI-CSWG Stages in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction-Related Cardiogenic Shock

Jan 21 2025 14 mins  
Cindy Grines, MD, MSCAI, Rajesh Rajan, MD, and Mirvat Alasnag, MD, FSCAI, discuss the first study to validate the SCAI-Cardiogenic Shock Working Group stages in a large cohort of AMICS patients in the Gulf region. The findings reveal that higher SCAI stages (D/E) are strongly linked to significantly worse short- and long-term survival outcomes. Patients in advanced stages of shock

Comparison of the Safety & Efficacy of Endovascular Interventions for the Treatment of SFA Disease

Jan 21 2025 16 mins  
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatments for superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease, in this network meta-analysis of 57 randomized trials (9089 patients), the authors compared outcomes across nine modalities, including PTA, atherectomy, drug-coated balloons, and stents. The analysis showed superior technical success and 12-month patency for most techniques

Understanding Right Heart Flow: Implications for Interatrial Shunt Device Therapy in Heart Failure

Jan 21 2025 23 mins  
In this review, the authors discuss the various aspects of right heart blood flow patterns, as assessed by 4D flow MRI, in the context of shunt devices under clinical evaluation for patients with symptomatic HFpEF. This related video conversation features Andrew M. Goldsweig, MD, MS, FSCAI, Raviteja Guddeti, MD, Megan Coylewright, MD, FSCAI, Sheldon Litwin, MD, Santiago Garcia, MD

Equity in Modifying Plaque of Women with Undertreated Calcified Coronary Artery Disease: Design and Rationale of EMPOWER CAD study

Jan 09 2025 27 mins  
The EMPOWER CAD study is a postmarket, prospective, multicenter, single-arm observational study evaluating the Shockwave Coronary IVL system for treating women with calcified coronary artery disease. This conversation features Dean Kereiakes, MD, MSCAI, Margaret McEntegart, MD, FSCAI, Suzanne Baron, MD, FSCAI, & Robert Riley, MD, FSCAI, as they highlight the EMPOWER CAD study a

Can Contrast Injections Cause or Propagate Coronary Injuries?

Dec 23 2024 17 mins  
The mechanistic association between the hydraulic forces generated during contrast injection and the risk of coronary injury is poorly understood. The authors evaluate whether contrast injections increase intracoronary pressures beyond resting levels and estimate the risk of hydraulic propagation of coronary dissections. Findings suggest that pressure increases are negligible beyon

3D Rotational Angiography to Guide Cardiac Catheterization in Critical Infants Below 5kg

Dec 20 2024 36 mins  
3D rotational angiography (3DRA) is a safe and effective tool for guiding cardiac catheterizations in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) weighing less than 5 kilograms, with no periprocedural deaths or minor adverse events observed and minimal major adverse events. Frank Ing, MD, MSCAI, Chenise N. Lucas, MD, Gregor J. Krings, MD, and Howaida El-Said, MD, FSCAI, discuss th

The Role of Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography in Risk Stratification for Coronary Artery Disease

Dec 06 2024 28 mins  
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables advanced assessment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, including plaque quantification, high-risk feature detection, and pericoronary adipose tissue analysis. This video interview, featuring Sophie E. van Rosendael, MD, PhD, Jonathon Leipsic, MD, Daniel Jones, MD, PhD, and Hamid Mojibian, MD, highlights recent advance
