The Proper Way To Exchange Wires For #HDR (and other applications) Try this out and let me know. There is a rationale behind every step. (I made this a few weeks ago. I did not like the editing. But it is an important aspect of the technique). #HDR #contrast1st #HDRFAQs

Here is a mini tutorial on how to prep the MC for contrast injection for #HDR. Remember: the injection is SLOW and GENTLE. Thank you @jaygirimd for the question, and @aspergian1 for the 100% accurate answer! #HDR #HDRFAQs #contrast1st
Thanks for step by step. Can you just expand a bit on the wire withdrawal part?Just have a little contrast flowing out into the hub while wire is still in the lumen taking up space? Wouldn’t this still leave some potential space in MC that would cause initial air injection?

High lipoprotein(a) [(Lp(a)] is a genetically determined, important risk factor for cardiovascular disease that should be (but isn't) routinely measured (at least once). There are 5 drugs that look highly effective for markedly lowering levels in clinical trials. This new @TheLancet review is excellent! thelancet.com/journals/lance…
