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? https://t.co/KqngAcOD9K

@Minaiskanders well done!

@sciqst @g_giustinoMD @CraigBasman This is rare - my first experience of losing a wire in >1000 sapien valves. But we took a team approach to solving the problem and found this creative solution. Glad we could share and hope it is helpful to the #TAVR community.

[Gennaro Giustino, MD @g_giustinoMD]

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

Join us for our Advances in Cardiovascular Symposium on Wednesday, Sept 25, from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. Registration is free (in person or virtual). We will review ablation for AFib, updates in CTO interventions, and percutaneous tricsupid valve interventions https://t.co/0hv9yzcJy0

With 93% growth in our #MitraClip volume '22 --> '23, HUMC is now the highest volume center in NJ. Thank you to our patients, HUMC cardiology and CT surgery, and @HMHNewJersey @AbbottNews @CraigBasman @johnkforrest #goateers

A long-waited PREVENT trial is now presented at LBCT-V #ACC2024
🇰🇷From the inception of trial to completion of trial took a decade.
✅1,606 pts with intracoronary imaging-detected “Vulnerable Plaque” randomized 1:1 to (1) Preventive PCI vs (2) OMT alone.
✅Prevent PCI significantly reduce primary composite endpoint (CV death, TV-MI, TVR, hospitalization for UA) at 2 yr. The effect of Preventive PCI was sustained up to 7 years.
✅First RCT shows that Preventive PCI is effective for non-flow limiting vulnerable atherosclerosis coronary plaque.
✅We believe that PREVENT would be one of the seminal investigations in the history of PCI.

My conclusion is:

TAVI (whoppingly) superior to SAVR at 1 year in this trial where the heart team decided on type of transcatheter heart valve for their patient.

I remember my own #MitraClip 101 #teer course when I was a very green operator, and now to be leading a 101 course…it’s an honor, truly. Thankful to @AbbottCardio, my mentors @GilbertTangMD @johnkforrest @psorajja, and teams @HMHNewJersey @YaleCardiology
