6-in-the-A is a channel about interventional cardiology and coronary artery disease.
We talk about typical cath lab cases from a typical interventional cardiologist at a typical community hospital. Nothing fancy, just cases you could very well see on your next call.
Cath lab RTs, RNs, midlevels, interventional cardiology fellows, and practicing interventional cardiologists in the community may find the content useful.
Some videos are geared more towards patients.
There may even be a few nuggets to keep my more academically-inclined colleagues entertained!

Opinions are my own, and I reserve the right to change my opinion at any time, without notice, and for any reason.
One of our astute viewers thought that the IVUS image actually showed that the IVUS catheter was in false lumen, and that the true lumen was to the right of the dissection flap. I thought we were true lumen throughout, but I must admit that sometimes I still have trouble telling things apart. Color doppler might have helped. In this case, we principally wanted to make sure that we ended in true lumen. This was clear in the full IVUS run (which I don't show). Fortunately for us, there are no branches to worry about in the LIMA, so it's less critical if part of the stent was in false lumen as long as the ends are in true lumen.... What I am sure of is this: The more I do this, the more I realize how much I still have yet to learn.
