Thread/ New @AHAScience Scientific Statement published online in @CircAHA regarding Interventional Therapies for Acute PE: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Presented simultaneously at @PERTConsortium PE symposium. Summary in this thread.

Looking forward to a new position as Director of Interventional Cardiology at Mass General Brigham. With incredible colleagues throughout the system, we will build the most comprehensive IC program internationally.
Congratulations to the investigators on full enrollment of this landmark trial! And thanks to the patients who participated & @bostonsci for sponsoring this vital study HI-PEITHO is the 1st int-risk PE interventional mega-trial to conclude with PE TRACT & PEERLESS 2 to follow
Big News! The 544th—and final—patient has been enrolled in #HIPEITHO, a landmark RCT comparing EKOS + anticoagulation vs. anticoagulation alone in intermediate-high risk #PE. Thank you to our investigators, @PERTConsortium & @UnimedizinMainz. Learn more: bit.ly/44VQapx
We’re done. Many thanks to the investigators and patients of the HI-PEITHO trial of ultrasound-assisted catheter lysis+LMWH vs LMWH alone. To randomise 544 patients with PE in a trial such as this, with patients having two or more of HR>100/SBP<110/Sats<90 or RR>20, is a major…

We live in a world of endless quality metrics. Adding another makes no sense. This metric doesn't even meet the definition of a performance measure.
Special issue of @cardiacinterv just out with a sneak peak discussion of the @SCAI #DLC initiative. The full peer reviewed position statement will be out in @MyJSCAI during SCAI SHOCK Tampa! Sept 18-20 Link: citoday.com/articles/2025-… @Babar_Basir @agtruesdell @davebaran…
The Linnemeier Award is given each year to an outstanding, early career IC and has been springboard for many leaders in our field including @PhilGenereuxMD, @rwyeh, @DFCapodanno, @jaygirimd, @barbanti_marco, @PhilippLurz. @SimoneBiscaglia. Don't miss your chance to apply!
Are you under 40 and making waves in #interventionalcardiology? This is your moment to shine! ✨ Apply for the Linnemeier Award, a career-launching honor for emerging investigators in interventional cardiovascular medicine. Past winners are now global leaders. You could be…
If you’ve got a little time on your hands, I’d love to challenge your faith in the “doctor shortage.” Thanks to @leah_pierson for the invitation to chat on Bio(un)ethical.
An absolute risk generalizable risk calculator is challenging. Led by @somijemmacho, evaluating AHA PREVENT across 4 academic health systems, we found similar discrimination but variable calibration. A universal absolute risk threshold may not suitably guide.…
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Intra-Annular Self-Expanding or Balloon-Expandable Valves: The Multicenter International NAVULTRA Registry: @JACCJournals 🥸 S3 vs Navi: head to head *non randomized* comparison. Of course S3 wins (except for gradients)! 😱Summary

Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a central feature in the pathogenesis of a wide array of diseases. However, its role is often oversimplified. While mitochondrial impairment is commonly cited as a root cause in diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes,…
Renal denervation for HTN was approved the FDA over 18 months ago. But very few cases performed in the US despite a theoretical eligible population >100M patients for this therapy. We cover the elephant in the room: reimbursement in @cardiacinterv. citoday.com/articles/2025-…

Are you under 40 & pushing interventional cardiology forward through excellent clinical care and investigation? Apply for the @crfheart 2025 Linnemeier Award! Join last years’ winners, @RobertAvramMD & @PennCardiology star Alex Fanaroff, & be recognized as young leader in IC.

Cardiovascular trial interventions found to be beneficial among even the frailest of patients, highlighting the need for purposeful inclusion of these patients, who are often excluded from RCTs. Read @AngelaSKoh1 , @DocStrom et al in @JACCJournals : bit.ly/46mFCSs
Congratulations to @PennMedicine Prof @kiranmusunuru who received the Barry J. Gertz endowed Chair for Translational Research from Dean Jonathan Epstein yesterday!
Important finding on CT and fluoro showing 2nd TAV in Redo #TAVR were 100% underexpanded despite procedural optimization with pre and post dilatation. Time to rethink lifetime management strategy and consider #TAVR explant in low risk pts to avoid redo TAVR PPM ? @JACCJournals…
First study reporting valve frame expansion & geometry by MDCT and fluoroscopy of both index & second valve in patients undergoing redo-TAVR. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCINT #TAVR #NYValves2025
This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

I’m usually awkward about award ceremonies – worthy accomplishments are seldom about individual effort. But this one warmed my heart. A celebration of folks who have dedicated decades of their lives to an organization that has truly shaped our the world @American_Heart 1/
Our new PROSPECT II study in Circulation comparing untreated non-obstructive lsns in STEMI & NSTEMI. ~4 such lsns per pt. 2-feature high-risk plaques were equally present (in 38.8% vs. 32.7%; P=0.11). 4-yr rates of untreated lesion-related MACE were also similar (8.6% vs 7.8%).
