In a national cohort, after 1:1 nested case-control matching, females were less likely to be referred to AVR (SAVR/TAVI) compared to men, which could be evidence of potential treatment disparities between sexes. #AHAJournals @GCastaldi_90 @mmamas1973 ahajrnls.org/3Hq5O4n

1. Are women with Aortic stenosis who are admitted with heart failure, syncope, angina pectoris, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock (class 1 indications for AVR) less likley to receive SAVR or TAVR within 90 days post discharge? we used A 1:1 nested case–control matching analysis approach using administrative data to find out! paper here: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… led by @GCastaldi_90 and @amstcro with @mirvatalasnag @alaide_chief @RodrigoBagur @hwijeysundera and @JDawnAbbott1

Very proud to be among the authors of this Paper. #MinimalisticApproach in #CTO deserves more attention among CTO Experts. Not a technique for newbies but a modern and intriguing approach. Thanks to @AgostoniPF t.author.email.elsevier.com/… – at Ferrara, Emilia Romagna

50-day free access to our interesting case report showing that not only atherosclerosis is the cause of #CTO. Of course we still used our #MinimalisticHybridApproach to treat this specific CTO! Here the link to the full article: lnkd.in/e2PW5aqG
