@Paddy_Barrett Great summary. Where is this figure from? Thanks.

[Chris Malkin @chris_malkin4]

29 S3 is a really amazing #tavr, takes in select anatomy from 27-32 or more, this one tricuspid. Area 792mm, perimeter derived 32.7mm. good implant +4mls, fair play to @DanBlackman7 on the front end of this case

8/ The discordance typically occurs in short lesions supplying a large territory where the gradient at rest is small but results in a large gradient at hyperemia resulting in a potential FFR/iFR discordance.

[Sripal Bangalore @SripalBangalore]

7/ It turns out that the pressure gradient across a lesion is a function of friction coefficient and separation coefficient.

@ncurzen @GreggWStone It is hard to walk away and your cath lab colleagues will think you haven't finished it! Limited meta-analysis suggests lower rate of SB stenosis and higher rate of MV stenosis at FU with routine KB for 1-stent bifurcation approach.

@GreggWStone I have always liked this paper

Final poll results: 45% PCI, 30% no Rx, 25% want more info. Equipoise! Here's what happened (Gupta & Chhikara, EHJ). They left it, pt remained stable, routine FU at 6 mo showed resolution of the angio lesion. We need a large study to determine if this is the right approach.

We got a valve from sorin tested on bench with 20 & 22 bard true and atlas gold balloons. It does not crack or modify. Balloons burst at 24 atm. Easy valve for #tavr in SAVR but fixed surgical ring

Is transcatheter aortic valve replacement safe when performed without interruption of oral anticoagulants? Find out in this issue of #JACCINT: https://t.co/u1YR8v5KuK #TAVR #Anticoagulation

Amazing work Leeds. Recruiting today already. Well done. Leading the league with 47 participants enrolled. Keep safe

Dial in to Leeds for the Medtronic #tavr advanced symposium. Join me and my awesome colleagues Dan and Mike as well as a galactico international faculty. 4 great live cases and some up to the minute opinion, discussion and data. 3rd & 5th November. C u then - but register early!

[Zaven Sargsyan @sargsyanz]

The left iliac vein has to cross under the right iliac artery in all of us, and is subject to relative compression/stasis. Thus, even in systemic causes of edema, the left leg often swells first, stays slightly more swollen, and comes down last during diuresis.

[Chris Malkin @chris_malkin4]

Long pacing run heavily sedated. Initially too low slid down, recaptured partially and nailed it on another pacing run. Pressure on the wire until contact. Not easy #tavr we tried double marker pigtails but LC pig kept displacing.

[Chris Malkin @chris_malkin4]

Pure AR #tavr not an easy project. Annulus and LVOT 26.5mm longish LVOT. What valve? and what size? and any niche tips to share. Our result shortly....

[Chris Malkin @chris_malkin4]

Leeds 11 #tavr cases this week, well done team👏. Including this, it went in as a 15f I sleeve but came out as a mangled mess, en bloc on the Lotus catheter. No harm done bit something to watch for

Long wire technique for common origin innominate&carotid. #sentinel #protectedTAVR #tavr. R4 and glide wire, deploy on a patient breath-hold, moderately stiff coronary wire, weaken the system by partially deploying proximal basket. We caught a big fish
