Capsule Endoscopy is a game-changer, aiding in the detection of: 1. Unexplained Bleeding: Investigate the source and find answers. 2. Iron Deficiency Anemia: Pinpoint causes for effective treatment. 3. Crohn’s Disease: Early detection for proactive management. 4. Coeliac Disease: Uncover hidden challenges for tailored care. 5. Angiodysplasia: Identify leaking blood vessels and address concerns. 6. Polyps or Tumors: Early recognition for timely intervention. Why Capsule Endoscopy? • Comprehensive Exploration: Reach areas where traditional methods can't. • Precise Diagnosis: Uncover conditions at their core. • Time-Efficient: Swift, non-intrusive, and patient-friendly.

In this national prospective cohort study using Shockwave Medical lithotripsy, IVL in #PAD was safe & associated with good outcomes; using CT-based plaque-analysis pre-/post- IVL in 21 lesions, almost all plaques showed calcium microfractures with no complications, such as emboli or major dissections.

Interesting Cath Lab case this morning… RCA STEMI with multiple, large intra-coronary thrombi 🤯🤯 What is that? Organized blood clots blocking flow into the coronary arteries, leading to a HEART ATTACK! 💔 Despite the availability of blood thinners, large intra-coronary thrombus remains a significant challenge during primary PCI. They could lead to distal embolization and slow/no re-flow phenomenon, with adverse effects on cardiovascular outcomes. There are several angiographic indicators of large thrombus burden, which could be confirmed by the use of intravascular ultrasound. Factor that promote thrombus formation include - patient, lesion, vessel, disease, and PCI-related factors. How did we treat? Aggressive, systemic antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies, upstream vasodilator therapy (for both the epicardial vessels and micro circulation), balloon angioplasty, followed by bailout GP IIb/IIIa + mechanical thrombectomy due to high thrombus burden (angiographically and by IVUS). Finally, placement of a second generation drug-eluding stent, to improve clinical outcomes! ❤️ #intracoronarythrombus #coronarythrombosis #rcastemi #stemi #intravascularultrasound #highriskpci #coronaryarterydisease #coronaryheartdisease #interventionalcardiology #interventionalcardiologist #drnaddi Memorial Hermann Health System

Here's to more effective and targeted treatments for heart attack with this classification. #myocardialinfarct #medicine #cardiovascular

Ophthopedia Update:This Issue at a Glance: Panarelli et al (p. 266) conducted a 2-year prospective, randomized trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of the MicroShunt with trabeculectomy in patients with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma. Analysis of 395 patients with stand-alone MicroShunt implantation and 132 patients with trabeculectomy found that the rate of surgical success was lower in the MicroShunt group than in the trabeculectomy group (50.6% vs. 64.4%). The IOP reduction was also statistically greater in the trabeculectomy group. #Ophthalmology #ophthotwitter #eyecare
