Intensive all day workshop including #iecho and #yesCCT assessment for mitral and tricuspid interventions @Heart_SCCT @ASE360 . Super engaged audience with mixture of IC, imagers, and fellows. Join @AkhilNarangMD and I for the next one at #ASE2025. @purviparwani @HamidNadira
This year at #CVI2025, physicians joined a unique, hands-on Structural Imaging Bootcamp exploring 3D echo, ICE, and tips for assessing mitral and tricuspid regurgitation with our new #G5System. Check out Drs. @PSorajja and @OKhaliqueMD in action! Important Safety Info:…
🫀 Practical and high-yield sessions at #SCCT2025 — Dr. Abdul Ihdayhid @AIhdayhid shared expert insight on CT planning for valve-in-valve TAVR and coronary protection. 👉 Why it matters: Coronary obstruction is rare but devastating, with ~50% mortality if it occurs during TAVR.…
🧠 Great teaching by Dr. @OKhaliqueMD at #SCCT2025 on how CT planning can help high-risk TMVR cases. LVOT obstruction isn’t rare—it’s one of the most common reasons patients are excluded from mitral trials (up to 83%!). 💡 What CT helps us do: • Flag high-risk anatomy early •…
#SCCT2025 would you change your management with plaque burden results in patients with non obstructive CAD? 🎯CAD-RADS stenosis is not enough 🎯personalized patient care with quantitative plaque is important @Heart_SCCT @ziadalinyc @OKhaliqueMD
