👵👴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

🚑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?
