After TAVI, invasively measured transvalvular gradients—but not echocardiography-derived gradients— were associated with mortality up to 2 years. Echocardiography systematically overestimated gradients, particularly with balloon-expandable valves. Read more in our #EIJBestOf 👇

A new echocardiographic algorithm provides accurate classification of left ventricular filling pressure, reducing indeterminate cases, particularly in patients with preserved ejection fraction. @SNagueh https://t.co/JPyxVhlXtD
This comprehensive review by Goel et al. explores the principles, procedural details, and outcomes of techniques including BASILICA, ShortCut, UNICORN, and newer methods like CATHEDRAL and Splitter. Each approach is discussed in the context of anatomical challenges, device innovation, and operator experience. @GilbertTangMD

In another study published in #JACCINT, the timing of noncardiac surgery after #TAVR was not associated with increased perioperative risk, suggesting that surgical delays based solely on interval from TAVR may be unnecessary. https://t.co/wV9xJZvri6 #vhdAS#cvSurg
In this paper, @LeivaOrly, @SripalBangalore et al. reported that early catheter-based therapy (≤1 day) in intermediate-/high-risk PE significantly reduces 90-day mortality, readmissions, bleeding, and length of stay vs delayed therapy. https://t.co/wIQPj1IK2j #PE#CBT#CDT #InterventionalCardiology

Live cases, interactive discussions, and peer-to-peer learning on:
🎯 IVUS in TAVI
🎯 Coronary access techniques
🎯 Orbital Atherectomy
🎯 Trans-Axillary TAVI
🎯 Large annuli
And great fun with a great team 🙌

Our first #Mitral#TEER#Pascal prior CABG patient, severe DMR, large prolapse P2-P1, flail segment P2/P1 junction. No residual MR with one #PascalACE. Echo POD 1 showed trivial MR, MG of 1mmHg. Thrilled with the result and grateful for the strong teamwork @NUHCS structural heart
Trans-national tutorial over the South China Sea. Dr @YinghaoLim from NUHCS, Singapore gave an amazing tutorials on cardiac hemodynamics to Dr in Sarawak, Serdang and the Philippines! Teaching without boundaries!
Thanks Dr Joshua for organizing.
OPTION RCT results presented by Dr. @omwazni#LAAO is noninferior to #DOAC for #stroke / systemic embolism & superior in ⬇️ risk of major bleeding

We made history again- first in Singapore, today we performed a Lampoon procedure for a mitral valve-in-valve case in NUH for a degenerated mitral bioprosthetic valve , also with the new mini TEE probe from Philips, image quality is excellent and the procedure was uneventful
