Video Summary

In this summary of a cath lab procedure, a patient returned for follow-up weeks later and underwent detailed cardiac interventions. Despite his conditions, he remained stable, highlighting survival bias in outpatients. The procedure included Rota atherectomy and stenting due to significant blockages.
