Elon Musk tried to kill me but @willsuh76 did Twitter CABG to achieve ROSC. New protocol. Mention me and use #TAVR and I will quote tweet you. Example 👇 I ❤️ #TAVR @TAVRBot

86M severe AS & Prior stroke BEV platform & procedure time < 30minutes If risk of stroke is high, what are your technical tips? (Let’s put the EPD discussion to rest for now) ❓should we avoid multiple inflations ❓does the THV platform make a difference @TAVRBot @tavrkapadia @djc795 @AliSahebHusain @almoghairi @HatimLawati @AlhijjiM @fjsawaya @SSamargandy @yaqoub_lina @kalazizimd @AnasNomanMD @drptca @AlkashkariWail @TCT_ME_

#TAVR poll Patient had SAVR 10 years ago. Echo now shows AVA 0.5 cm2, MG 35 mmHg, Vmax 3.9 m/s, SVI 21 ml/m2, moderate AR. Patient has no symptoms. What next?

RT @MCoylewright: When's the right time to talk with aortic stenosis (AS) patients about treatment options and goals? Patients are ready ea…

#TAVR poll I like seeing patients with moderate aortic stenosis to explain diagnosis, natural history and surveillance. Also to develop a relationship with patient When do you like to see patients with aortic stenosis?

#TAVR Bumper Technique This visual shows how this technique works. Without bumper, the leading edge of the THV stent can catch a lip of calcium. With bumper, the 🎈bulges over the leading edge and protects it from catching calcium. Also prevents scraping in aorta.

#TAVR Bumper Technique This is something I’ve been doing and it makes crossing the aortic valve easy without pre BAV. After final valve assembly in descending aorta, roll contrast into the nose cone to create the bumper. 1. Reduces scraping in aorta. 2. Crosses like butter!

Treat the valve AND the myocardium when facing severe AS amyloidosis. Both AVR and tafamidis independently ↓ mortality Dual therapy=best outcomes w/ similar survival to lone AS AVR. Dual pathology is common (~13%) warranting RCT. tinyurl.com/2zmpht8x Bravo @ThomasTreibel! 👏🏻

Are we officially changing US nomenclature from #TAVR ➡️ #TAVI

#TAVR poll Patient with TAVR 11 years ago, S3 26 mm, MG 41 mmHg. CT shows HALT, leaflets no calcification. What is your anticoagulant of choice?

Is transcarotid TAVR a suitable alternative to SAVR in unsuitable transfemoral access? Transcarotid versus surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS @MAvvedimento @delportilloJH @sidmengi_dr @pedro_cepas #AHAJournals ahajrnls.org/4iCJPEU

#TAVR poll Where is the cardiac surgeon during TAVR?

What would it take for TVT registry to be opened? Both @Edwards_TAVR and @MDT_StructHeart would have to agree? @ACCinTouch @STS_CTsurgery

Death is an undeniable hard outcome. #TAVR trials suggest that outcomes between BEV and SEV are similar. But look at MAUDE database. Search 7/1/24 - 12/31/24, outcome death. Edwards SAPIEN = 22 records Medtronic Evolut = 228 records 10-fold higher with Evolut 😳 Why?

Exactly 20 years ago, the 1st TAVR in the US was done by Dr William O’Neill at William Beaumont Hospital! Dr. Alain Cribier was the proctor. I was an interventional fellow watching from the control room. Those 5 seconds when I saw the valve being deployed, literally changed my life. It was like “I saw the future”. I knew then that I would dedicate the rest of my career to transcatheter valvular interventions. Thank you Dr. O’Neill and Dr. Cribier 🙏 for giving me the opportunity of witnessing history being made!!! 😃And for being such great mentors and role models!!! 🙏❤️ @MayoClinicCV

For those that do mitral TEER, which device do you prefer and why? #CardioTwitter #Structural #MitralRegurgitation #TMVR

#TAVR 1 yr safety outcomes from ACURATE IDE Trial RCT - Acurate vs Evolut vs SAPIEN S3 had lower CV death, disabling stroke and PVL compared to other 2 devices. For years, we have been asking for comparative data from TVT registry. Where is the transparency? Time to open it up!
