Me as a first year fellow at Chest Conference: “what we’re seeing on this CT could be many different things. You say it’s NSIP, I say it’s pulmonary edema and both our statements can be the truth. But the truth shouldnt matter as long as we can agree to disagree. Thank you”

In the same shift, you can resuscitate a critically ill patient who was found down without asking anyone for permission and also have a patient with a STEMI refuse a heart cath and leave AMA.

Parijat Sen 2/ The obvious tradeoff is the increase in adverse events (vascular, bleeding, need for RRT, etc). There is also a competing financial interest in using this device (more hospital RVUs)- should not be routinely used in the community for patients with borderline indications.

Parijat Sen 1/ Yes patient selection is key. Data applies only to STEMI and STEMI equivalent cardiogenic shock - so can’t extrapolate to OHCA, routine NSTEMI- CS and NICM. To show a survival benefit in these patients who have an expected mortality of 50 % is unprecedented.

Really interesting. Wonder what the Interventional cardiologists think of this? Amartya Kundu Could this potentially increase misuse of Impella in MI patients outside this study cohort? 🧐🤷🏽‍♂️

Pras Me IMCrit You have to wonder about the impact on age of retirement here (though I absolutely hate it when people bring this up with my specialty choices).

Small study, 4% of respondents were ICM.

Of those retiring earlier than intended, 1 in 5 said due to nights.

As an educator, it’s poignant when trainees send you updates on their Match journey! It’s a strange mixture of pride, joy and vicarious success. But those that didnt make it, please let us know. The least we can do is share your disappointment and strategize for next year 🙏🏽❤️
