@JamilMalikSTCC Put in ventricular support. Impella or Ecmo. This can go bad very quickly!!!!

26 yr old RN with SOB and Palp. Echo shows AV shunt from Aorta to RA. Echo shows a strange jet from the back of the RA through the Tricuspid valve. Angio to determine size. CTA showed 10-12 mm AV shunt. RHC shows 25% of CO going through shunt. What’s next?@SAIFSanAntonio

@SidakpalP @ekgpdx @ReddyTheRobot @moiz_hafiz @DrArgyle @aelsab @kashishgoelmd @EleidMack @rajivxgulati @allisoncabalka Strong work. I have a similar situation with a pt who has a previous PFO device and severe AS and restenosis of a Mosaic Mitral Valve. We are debating the best approaches. Femoral TAVR and either trans septal TMVR or trans apical.
