Welcome to our new fellow, @vandanMD ! Here was our tutorial last week on transcatheter treatment for all Mitral pathologies for our new teammate! Would love to say we were done by 3pm (but that would be a lie ;) @PWengrofskyMD @ryankaple @HMHNewJersey #Structuralheart…
Structural Case; Rheumatic Tricuspid valve treated with TTVR. These sort of patient's weren't included in TTVR trials... so I think important that we keep track of effectiveness of TTVR in the rheumatic population. Excellent result with 48mm EVOQUE @ryankaple @PWengrofskyMD…
Grateful to join @KenRosatoTV to talk about heart-health during the Super Bowl! Cardiovascular events increase by 15-20%, so patients must recognize the warning signs, and Interventional Cardiology teams should be prepared! @HMHNewJersey #CardioTwitter #SuperBowl2025

Structural case of the week; 89 y/o F with Afib on Eliquis, AS s/p TAVR (26mm Evolut 8 months ago) with bioprosthetic stenosis due to leaflet thrombosis (despite Eliquis compliance) Thoughts?? @ryankaple @PWengrofskyMD #tavr #cardiotwitter #structuralheart @TAVRBot
Our report of IVUS guided stenting of HeartMate 3 extrinsic outflow graft obstruction (EOGO) in @JACCJournals Interventions. How often are you seeing these cases? Are you screening all HM3 patients with CTAs? How are you treating these patients? authors.elsevier.com/a/1kJtd6uPJvuW…
Structural Case of the week; We were referred a Watchman with Peri-device leak and recent CVA. Treated with ADO2 (Amplatz) plug and patient is doing great at 1 month f/u. @HMHNewJersey , @ryankaple, @SHYoonMD , @PWengrofskyMD , @AbbottNews #tavr #Cardiology #watchman #LAAO
Structural Case of the Week; R. subclavian approach (PAD) for percutaneous mechanical aspiration of infected aortic graft Patient did great, no neurologic issues and cultures cleared! @ryankaple @PWengrofskyMD @AngioVac @HMHNewJersey #tavr #CardioTwitter #angiovac #Cardiology
Structural case of the week; Challenging due to lack of height above the TV annulus. Excellent result from the whole team... and patient is feeling great! @ryankaple @PWengrofskyMD @HMHNewJersey @AbbottNews #triclip #tavr #CardioTwitter
Structural Heart Disease Case of the Week: 72 y/o with complicated mitral PVL/pseudo (not a candidate for PARADIGM trial) 12mm AVP for closure @ryankaplan23 @SHYoonMD @PWengrofskyMD @HMHNewJersey #tavr #structuralheart #CardioTwitter #Cardiology
Great technique to bail-out lost wire position in the LV during balloon-expandable TAVR using a 4-8 mm EN-snare through the delivery system. Nice! @ryankaple @CraigBasman A Microsnare Technique for Transcatheter Heart Valve Recrossing After Inadvertent Wire Withdrawal From Left…
Mitraclip in patient with prior 35mm ASO TSP planning with CT Baylis superior/post to device-> Septostomy (7mm)-> Clip for success! This will be a more frequent hurdle for SHD... any other strategies? #mitraclip #ASD @SHYoonMD @PWengrofskyMD @ryankaple

39 y/o with CP/hx IVDU/IE with prior MVR/TVR (31mm CE, PPM postop) with ADHF and severe MS/TS. (no longer requiring PPM) Best lifetime management strategy (young/IVDU)? Lead extraction w/ TMTVR (+iASD closure) @PWengrofskyMD @ryankaple @SHYoonMD #tavr #CardioTwitter


🆕 "We attempted to retract the entire unit together, but the edge of the MitraClip prevented removal from the LA." How would you handle? Read the author's solution: okt.to/meaGfS @CraigBasman @DLBHATTMD #cardioTwitter #cardioX #cardiology #interventionalcardiology

STRUCTURAL CASE OF THE WEEK; 35 M with TOF s/p repair at 13 months, b/l PA stents, severe PI s/p PVR (25mm Mitroflow) with symptomatic/severe bioprosthetic PR/PS. Safest/best lifetime management option? Redo surgery TPVR (23mm vs 26mm with BVF) #tavr #achd

STRUCTURAL CASE OF THE WEEK: 'Unmasking' of mild PVL after Mitral ViV of failed EPIC valve. S/p AVP II plug with great result... @ryankaple @SHYoonMD #CardioTwitter #TAVR
STRUCTURAL CASE OF THE WEEK Post-MI VSD 1 month out, stable, Qp/Qs 2.0 14mm VSD occluder not released (but no flow around on TEE/angio). Release it or try new device??? #cardio @ryankaple @SHYoonMD #structuralheart #tavr @TAVRBot
