4 A.M. STEMI call. 45-year-old male with acute anterior STEMI activated through the STEMI pathway. Coronary angiography showed complete thrombotic occlusion of the LAD. Initial ballooning restored flow, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed successfully… or so we thought. Seconds later came one of the true nightmares in interventional cardiology: The stent was physically delivered. Deployment was confirmed. But fluoroscopy showed… no stent in the lesion. The LAD still looked unstented. Immediate full fluoroscopic search of the patient’s body was performed. No lost stent was seen anywhere. The table? Negative. The sheath? Negative. The guiding system inside the body? Negative. Unfortunately, stent boost was unavailable at that moment, and IVUS was not accessible. Multiple vigorous flushes of the guiding catheter failed to reveal the missing stent. At that point, the concern escalated dramatically — embolized stent? Lost in the system? Somewhere unseen? Decision was made to retrieve the entire system and physically inspect everything outside the patient. Still nothing. Finally, as a last attempt, the guiding catheter was carefully cut in small external segments. And there it was. The entire undeployed stent was trapped inside the OUTSIDE portion of the guiding catheter — beyond the fluoroscopy field — firmly stuck despite repeated flushing attempts. The relief in the cath lab at that moment was indescribable. A new stent was then successfully deployed with excellent final angiographic result. Lessons from the night: • Never trust assumptions in the cath lab • Lost stents can hide in unexpected places • Systematic troubleshooting saves lives — and saves operators from panic • Sometimes the solution is not high-tech… but persistence and careful thinking Interventional cardiology continues to humble us. #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #STEMI #PCI #CathLab #CoronaryIntervention #LAD #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #STEMIPathway

🫀 Why Photon-Counting CT Is the New Standard for Non-Invasive Stent Imaging Because “Uninterpretable” Should No Longer Be Acceptable For years, coronary stent evaluation by CTA was often dismissed: “Too much blooming.” “Too much metal artifact.” “Just send the patient to invasive angiography.” That paradigm belongs to the past. Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) is changing non-invasive stent imaging from a limitation into a true diagnostic tool. 🧠 Why conventional CT struggles With standard EID-CT: - Metallic struts create significant blooming - Partial volume effects obscure the intrastent lumen - Small stents become nearly unreadable - Motion artifacts worsen proximal and ostial evaluation The result? 👉 Many stents are labeled “non-diagnostic” 👉 Patients are sent to unnecessary invasive angiography ⚡ Why PCCT changes everything -Ultra-high spatial resolution - Sharper visualization of stent struts - Clear assessment of the true intrastent lumen Reduced blooming artifacts - Metal appears closer to reality - Less artificial lumen narrowing High temporal resolution - Better imaging of proximal, ostial, and fast-moving segments - Reduced motion blur around the stent High iodine concentration contrast (400 mg I/mL) - Strong intraluminal enhancement - Better contrast between lumen and metal - Spectral capability Additional confidence separating iodine signal from stent artifact 🎯 The clinical shift From: “Can we read this stent?” To: “We can characterize it with confidence.” - Restenosis - Stent patency - Aneurysm repair - Complex proximal LAD interventions - Left main and bifurcation stents >>>> all become more reliably assessable. From invasive default to non-invasive confidence and convenience. From metallic blur to diagnostic clarity. That’s why PCCT is becoming the new standard for coronary stent imaging. ⚡🫀 #PhotonCountingCT #PCCT #CoronaryCTA #StentImaging #CardiacCT #CoronaryStent #UltraHighResolution #RadiologyInnovation #yesCCT

THIS BUILDER JUST DROPPED 256GB OF RAM INTO A MONSTER THREADRIPPER WORKSTATION TO RUN UNFILTERED LOCAL AI Imagine trying to fit a computer setup into a chassis that is basically the size of a mini fridge. That is the Corsair 1000D tower. The builder crammed an ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE motherboard inside and slapped a 64-core AMD Threadripper PRO 5995WX right into the socket Why go this heavy? Simple. To make sure local open weights models don't instantly choke standard desktop hardware during heavy reasoning tasks Then things get downright ridiculous with the memory configuration. He unboxes eight separate Kingston DDR4 modules, pinning a massive 256 gigabytes of system RAM directly to the board. Having that kind of local memory headroom is an absolute necessity if a team wants to handle massive datasets or run dense training loops without constantly swapping data to the storage drives Speaking of storage, the system relies on two lightning fast 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe drives For the graphics pipeline, he drops in a top-tier ASUS ROG RTX 4090 boasting 24 gigabytes of VRAM. That is pretty much the gold standard right now if you want to run quick local inference cycles and completely stop paying corporate cloud token fees to OpenAI or Anthropic Powering this whole grid requires a monstrous ASUS ROG 1600W Thor Gen 2 power supply. And to prevent the entire workstation from turning into a space heater under full load, the builder went all out with a 360mm AIO liquid cooling setup and an insane cluster of sixteen Lian Li SL-Infinity RGB fans It looks incredibly flashy, probably sounds like a jet engine when the cores push maximum load What to buy for local AI? => my guide below Bookmark this so you don't lose it

An educational rota burr entrapment case. When a burr is stuck, we pull on the burr. If that doesn’t work, then we think of complex manoeuvres: cutting the burr, removing Teflon sheath, guide extensions, parallel wiring/ballooning and ping pong guides etc… But we often forget the simple stuff. The 0.014 tip of rotawire is larger than 0.009 shaft that contains the burr. This prevents distal vessel injury but can help retrieve a stuck burr. If wire is intact, bring wire back to burr, but this can only be done with brake defeat on (this is often forgotten!!!). Once the tip is at the burr, just pull! Works in many cases of stuck burr. Here a case of LAD rotablation. Unrecognised calcific distal LMS disease, led to burr advancement and entrapment. Tugging the burr didn’t help. So brake defeat on and then pull the rota wire. Burr came out. Then rewired with new rotawire and used same burr to finish the job. #Cardiology #cardiotwitter #PCI #complexPCI #rotablation #complications CanCTO EuroCTOClub Sanjog Kalra Dr. Bill Lombardi Darshan Doshi, MD, MS Kambis Mashayekhi Stéphane Rinfret, MD SM Mihajlo Kovacic 🫀📕/🔋🕹️ Pierfrancesco Agostoni Neisser M Gregor Leibundgut Allison Hall Elliot Smith Luiz Fernando Ybarra Rustem Dautov Abdul Mozid Mohammad Almutawa Basem Elbarouni jcspratt Tom Kaier Anja Øksnes Raja Hatem Lorenzo Azzalini jedicath աǟզǟʀ.ǟɦʍɛɖ Tsutomu Fujita MD Farouc Jaffer MD PhD Mohaned Egred Stefan Harb Edney Boston-Griffiths Amir Ravandi Dr Imran Hanif Hashmi Omer Goktekin MD Maksymilian Opolski Kalpa De Silva Kalaivani Mahadevan Faurie Benjamin Michael Megaly Ignacio J.

The secret to a high-end garden isn’t expensive plants or professional landscaping. ​It’s all about the edge definition. ​When grass creeps into the flower beds, a garden instantly looks unfinished and messy. Creating a crisp, clean border between the lawn and the soil is the single most effective way to elevate an outdoor space from amateur to luxury level. ​Here is the step-by-step breakdown to achieving a flawless, professional look with minimal effort: ​1. Slice, Don't Tickle ​Grab a half-moon edger or a sharp spade. Instead of just skimming the surface, slice straight down vertically. The goal is to create a clean, distinct break in the soil that separates the green grass from the brown earth. Placing a long, straight wooden board along the edge can act as a perfect guide for a laser-sharp line. ​2. Form a Physical Barrier ​Remove the cut clumps of grass and dirt to create a clean, shallow trench. This empty space isn’t just for looks—it acts as a physical barrier that stops aggressive grass roots from invading the flower beds for weeks to come. ​3. Clear and Cleanse ​Weed the actual garden bed thoroughly. A pristine backdrop of smooth, dark soil provides a striking color contrast against the vibrant green of a freshly cut lawn. That contrast is what makes the entire garden visually pop. ​4. The Perfectionist’s Polish ​For the final touch, use a pair of long-handled lawn shears to trim any stray blades of grass hanging over the new edge. A quick pass with a leaf blower to clear away any loose debris will leave the border looking absolutely immaculate. ​Pro-Tips for an Even Better Result: ​The Mulch Trick: After defining the edge, add a fresh layer of dark hardwood mulch to the flower beds. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and deepens the color contrast for that ultra-luxurious feel. ​Maintain the Angle: When cutting the edge, a slight inward angle (about 80 degrees) toward the flower bed helps the lawn retain its structure and prevents the edge from collapsing during heavy rain. ​A Weekly Touch-up: Running standard lawn shears along the established trench during the weekly mow takes less than five minutes but keeps the border looking razor-sharp all season long. ​A tiny bit of extra effort yields a massive return in curb appeal. Turn a chaotic yard into a manicured masterpiece this weekend.

CAC Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: New Heart Disease Test Causes Cancer. Major Organizations Warn Public Against It... 42 Of Every 100K Patients Develop Cancer From Ionizing Radiation. Radiation Dosage Varies 10X From One Hospital To Another, Causing 5,600 New Cases Of Cancer. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology & the United States Preventive Services Task Force do not recommend the use of heart CT scans for patients with a low or high risk of heart disease because CT scans could be more harmful than beneficial due to the relatively high dose of radiation. "Tens of millions of adults would be exposed to relatively high levels of radiation through this procedure. Doctors still have not established a standard dose of radiation to be used for heart CT scans & doses for this test vary from one hospital to another, with some patients getting 10X the amount of radiation as patients in another hospital." A 2009 study showed that one heart CT scan for the 50 million Americans who would receive the average radiation dose, these scans would result in 5,600 new cancer cases. The number of new cancer cases would be even higher if individuals were screened more than once in their lifetime. Radiation from CT scans is even of concern to the FDA even when the CT scans are necessary. On October 9, 2009, the FDA announced that it was notifying healthcare professionals that 206 patients who were being tested for stroke received CT radiation doses that were 8X the expected level at one particular medical facility. While this event involved a single kind of diagnostic test at one facility, the FDA warned that “it reflects more widespread problems with CT quality assurance programs.” Each year, over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease even though heart disease can be prevented. Although heart CT scanning may be a useful tool in detecting blockages in heart arteries, there is not enough evidence to show that this test is worth the risks, especially compared to traditional risk factor assessment. For this reason, the Cancer Prevention & Treatment Fund of the National Research Center for Women & Families agrees with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that heart CT scans are not recommended for screening for heart disease. 👇CAC Screening Radiation 10X Cancer Risk👇 👇Ionizing Radiation Risk From CAC Test👇 👇Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation👇 Video: Dr David Alfrey
