4- these patients can have flail leaflets from repeated biopsies (partial=more challenging not to be pinned, complete= unsuitable for this device)
No other major differences noted.
We’ve done some T-TEER in ❤️ transplants @SachinGoelMD , and we’ve noted more challenges in that
Proud to be part of this team!
New milestone: We performed one of the first transcatheter tricuspid valve replacements-EVOQUE @EdwardsLifesci in a ❤️ transplant recipient. Grateful to our amazing team! @SachinGoelMD @SLittleMD @MReardon19 @NadeenFaza @HassaanBArshad1 @IsaMathiasMD @CatherineTeng6 @HMethodistCV

Proud of our fellow @smitha_narayana presenting on behalf of collaborators #ACC25 @ACCinTouch! ⭐️In 2020, only 2.3% of mitral TEER procedures in US were performed by female operators while 97.7% were done by men. Data after 2020 coming soon. @MayoClinicCV
This maneuver, in select cases, can increase patient’s candidacy for T-TEER. Heart team discussion involving EP is paramount when we #treatTR in patients with CIEDs. #iEcho @ACCinTouch Thanks Dr. Faza for impeccable mentorship, @ChonyAlbertMD @AmitGoyalMD for a great discussion!

One of the most important trials at @ACCinTouch #ACC25 ! Compared fluid restriction to liberal approach in #HeartFailure. Why?
This affects individuals w/HF EVERY DAY!
✨No benefit of Fluid Restriction
✨No HARM for liberal fluid intake
✨Improved QOL in liberal fluid intake

🚨 Exciting news! Our PGY 6 fellow Dr. Priyanka Bhugra and Dr Nadia Fida had a case published in NEJM this weekend. A great example of the groundbreaking work happening at HMH CV. Check it out! #HMHCardiology #NEJM #HMHCV nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
Challenging case only made possible by excellent teamwork 😃
Torrential TR, not candidate for any TTVR device, TricValve. Challenging T-TEER anatomy, treated thanks to amazing imaging guidance by @SLittleMD @IsaMathiasMD Catherine Teng @MethodistHosp @NadeenFaza @HassaanBArshad1 @Joe_Aoun_ @PaulSorajj74157 @hahn_rt

🆕📝optimal cutoff points for severe AS vary by range of LVEF (<35%, 35%-50%, >50%) bit.ly/3NVYGfU
🫀If LVEF <35%, use MG of 30 rather than 40 for severe AS
🫀MG & Vmax better than AVA in Dx severe AS adjudicated by C-CT
🫀In LG AS w LVEF <35%, DSE finds contractile reserve in 2/3 patients
🫀If LVEF 35-50%, DSE finds CR in 1/2 patients
🫀1/3 pts had paradoxical LG AS w LVEF >50% yet still got DSE(?)
🫀1/4 pts labeled pseudo-severe AS by DSE had true severe AS by C-CT(not validated in LF)

We use
-A mobile shield
-Radiation pads
-Radiations skirts
-Fusion imaging capabilities

A few examples of shielding options that can be implemented to protect the IE during SHI are presented in our paper #ASEchoJC
Isadora Mathias, MD retweeted
🔑 Radiation protection setup is essential!
Ceiling-suspended lead shields decrease IE exposure by 5-fold
Use RADPAD® disposable shields for added protection
Consider modern systems to reduce scatter radiation
