In this #3D TEE mid-esophageal RV in-out view you can better understand the location of different types of VSD in echo #echofirst supracristal VSD lying more cranial than the infracristal.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy 🆚 constrictive pericarditis in the 4Ch view
Two diseases with overlapping physiology and similar clinical presentation - but very different therapies.
The first patient underwent heart transplantation; the second, pericardectomy.

Invaginated. Then gone.
Incidental LA appendage invagination in a patient undergoing IMPELLA implantation #echofirst
⚠️ Beware of LAA invagination in patients with MCS. It can mimic pathology if you don’t recognize it.
Watch the mitral valve carefully during systole.
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Mitral stenosis
B. Mitral valve prolapse
C. Mitral annular calcification
D. Flail mitral leaflet
A patient with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction undergoes TEE for evaluation of mitral regurgitation. What are important anatomic findings, based on this clip?
Interesting case of an embolizing right atrial myxoma presenting as an acute myocardial infarction - causing RCA occlusion in a patient with no coronary artery disease🫀
⚠️ A rare reminder: not every coronary occlusion is atherosclerotic💡 #echofirst
Intraop TEE (GE 9T probe) for LV assessment immediately after LVAD implant in a pediatric patient.
A new eccentric color jet is visualized in the mid-esophageal views 👀.
VSD, Gerbode or TR? #echofirst
Normal position of the LVAD apical inflow cannula and the outflow graft✅
🔢 PAAT/RVET
📌 What is PAAT/RVET?
PAAT/RVET = Pulmonary Artery Acceleration Time / Right Ventricular Ejection Time.
It is a simple Doppler-derived index that can provide useful information about RV afterload and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).
