Very proud to work with this team. Deep OCT+NIRS is the future of coronary imaging. Period. And the future is here in Georgia.
Interventional cardiologists with Georgia Heart Institute recently performed the first cases in the Southern United States using the SpectraWAVE HyperVue Imaging System. This system uses near-infrared "DeepOCT" and NIRS technology to capture highly detailed images from inside the coronary arteries. These images, powered by AI, help cardiologists make better-informed decisions to treat their patients. Kudos to Dr. Glen Henry, Dr. Stephane Rinfret and Dr. Olga Toleva and their team for bringing the future of heart care to our community — today!

Interesting discussion by the legend @Antocol17 on modern day bifurcation PCI. #CRT2025 ⚒️A redesign of the 5,6,7,8 rule to 6,8,10 🧐2 stent may be worse. Adequately prepare bifurcation then decide. Often provisional works (especially if you can use DCB for side) 🖇️If you need 2 stents- Novel technique balloon assisted DKT strategy by @RinfretStephane might be best of both worlds between culotte and DK crush

Exciting morning on the #CRT2025 Center Stage with a live case featuring SpectraWAVE led by Dr. @RinfretStephane at Georgia Heart Institute! Thank you to the operators and panelists for walking through a complex intra-stent CTO case and showcasing the value of the HyperVue Imaging System with DeepOCT+NIRS! #ImageFirst #DeepOCT

Back to ECMO here in @GaHeart_NGHS and love it. Here’s why a retro perfusion cannula (that I started in @cusm_muhc) is better than an antegrade (see below)

1- tip in larger part of SFA or CFA 2- flows also into profunda and therefore into collaterals if SFA occluded 3- clears the dead space between art can and perfusion canula- avoid thrombosis 4- allows for control of site for perc decanulation

Knuckles are not just “big” or “small”. They behave differently and this position paper will help make you understand state-of-the-art dissection techniques !
A must-read for #CTO #PCI operators. 1-Start (XT or Gladius/Pilot 200), finish with MG 2- Rolling vs travelling knuckles 3-Redirect if explodes, can change wire to restart 4-Ok for retro knuckle to be bigger unlike antegrade one. #cardiotwitter #ACCFIT jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/j.…
