👵👴Frail and older adults remain underrepresented in revascularization trials. @HrisKirov presents rationale and design of CAB-AGE I Trial, with frailty as primary outcome after PCI vs CABG. Potential CAB-AGE II will target 5-yr hard clinical endpoints. @ToDoenst @ISCAScoronary

🔑 Fascinating keynote talks today at @ISCAScoronary: From a deep dive into how CABG and PCI truly differ, physiologically, pathologically, and clinically from @ToDoenst to an eye-opening look at the controversy shaping modern coronary trials @FaisalBakaeen @GianTorre610

If we keep calling PCI and CABG revascularization, we will keep blurring our perception of outcomes, because we do not understand the underlying treatment mechanisms (doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2021.…).

🚑BREAKING NEWS. This is massive. 10 year PARTNER 2 data has been released by the company. No statistical analyses were performed. But I performed them and these is what happened at 10 years. @pomyers @rafasadaba @STS_CTsurgery @EACTS

15 surgeons. 5 countries. 1 mission:
advancing minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
A week of live cases, wetlabs & lectures at the Jena MICS Bootcamp = new skills, knowledge & network
The winners? Our patients. Like 2x full-arterial, off-pump, no-touch-aorta MICS-CABG 🫀
Do you know what revascularization really means?

What if the best vaccine against heart attacks… is surgery? 🫀
CABG cuts MI risk by 51% — on par with approved vaccines.
It doesn’t just treat — it prevents. A collateral prevention system for the heart.

The problem is not operating based on CT. That is easy. The problem is optimal decision-making for CABG because CT currently tends to overestimate CAD severity. So, no problem with Syntax >40 or so, but tricky when intermediate.
Replying to @georgetolisjr
True, but how do you explain that practically no trial comparing new therapies with the non-evidence based surgical procedures shows superiority?
