Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be needed especially in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, to assess the pulmonary anatomy, including size and distribution of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Hemocontration is due to the diuresis following contrast angiography, which can be prevented by adequate pre and post procedure hydration.

The CoreValve and next-generation Evolut TAVR systems are used in TAVR procedures for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), which are less invasive and typically result in a quicker recovery time than open heart surgery.i The natural history and rate of progression of aortic stenosis. iii Am Heart Assoc. 120.018816.

TriClip leverages the same clip-based technology as Abbott's leading MitraClip device – which has treated more than 200,000 people with leaky mitral valves (mitral regurgitation) – but was specifically designed to treat the tricuspid valve's complex anatomy. The device has already been used to treat more than 10,000 people with TR.

The best course is to wait until the anatomy is defined by angio, then if proceeding to PCI, add Cangrelor (an IV P2Y12 inhibitor) I sent the ECG and clinical information of a 90-year old with chest pain to Dr. McLaren. 2 cases of Aortic Stenosis: Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. His response: “subendocardial ischemia.

To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade. Right atrial hypertrophy as in tricuspid stenosis, pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary hypertension.

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. Parasternal views are often obtained first, followed by apical, subcostal, and suprasternal.

Here I annotate it: This shows 100% occluded circumflex (red arrow) and a 90% stenosis of the LAD (Yellow arrow). The LAD was thought to be not thrombotic, but a chronic tight stenosis. Initial priorities in this patient were clearly to determine the anatomy — and reestablish coronary perfusion.

The anatomy and lead placement create very small voltage compared to the other main coronary distributions. The American Journal of Cardiology 2010 1,500 consecutive patients with complete occlusion or near occlusion (greater than 90% stenosis with TIMI less than 3) were identified post-hoc from a prospective PCI database. EF was 55%.
