92-yr-old man with severe AS and severe MR (P2 flail). pre-EKG: RBBB, LAFB, 1st-degree block (PR 250 ms). Large aortic annulus (~800) and LVOT. TAVR (29 Sapien S3 5 cc) and MitraClip (2 clips with a reduction in MR to mild to moderate) performed. Post-TAVR EKG below. What next?

QRS remained narrow for 36 hours. Performed EP study: PR 288, QRS 84, AH 210, and HV 56 which was surprising. One explanation for narrow QRS - transient injury to left bundle leading to prolonged PR and simultaneous right and left bundle conduction, hence narrow QRS.
Procedural fluoroscopy and TEE

Since everyone is talking reform, dear editors plz consider 1.Standardize submission processes 2.Pick reviewers/AEs who judge study quality not its fitting w their views 3. 3-months for a decision is too long 4.Allow >24h 2edit the proofs. #cardiotwitter plz add to the wish list!

Abnormal aortic cusps - how to do they influence TAVR deployment?
"Implications of Hinge-Point Based Annular Plane with Abnormal Aortic Cusps in #TAVR: Advantage of Centerline Based Annular Plane Approach" by @tilakpasala et al. bit.ly/3b9tPGS

Our case report re-creating the original antegrade transeptal approach to TAVR using an AV rail with long 26 French sheath to protect the septum and mitral valve. Might be a viable alternative access in selected patients.

Fortunately, there are no new strains of #SARSCoV2. Just changes in the letters of its RNA, a slow evolution, that enables precise genomic detective work, tracking of spread from one place to another. A great explainer: nytimes.com/interactive/2020… @13pt @carlzimmer @NYTScience

The new remdesivir data from Tony Fauci from N >1,000 placebo-controlled trial (unpublished, Oval Office citation) does not show statistically significant reduction in mortality (8% vs 11%, in the right direction) but a clear-cut benefit in time to recovery 11 vs 15 days, P<0.001
