The heart beats more than 100,000 times a day. Behind this effortless rhythm lie four delicate valves—the aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary—that open and close in perfect synchrony to guide the flow of blood. When these valves begin to narrow or leak, the heart’s workload rises silently. Over time, fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling of […]
Read MoreI presented this lecture at India CTO 2023 and in it I share my personal approach to complex lesion preparation — when to choose laser, rotablation, orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy. In this article I outline real-case examples, explain the rationale behind choosing one device over another, and provide practical procedural end points that guide […]
