@MKaldas When in the area of the upper vein, slowly pull the probe in and out until you see the flash of red in the area you expect. It's tricky and everyone's anatomy is different. Slow deliberate movements and attempting to see it every time is the best strategy; Practice makes perfect!

Another pulmonary vein finding, this time elevated velocities! 115cm/s in the left lower PVein consistent with stenosis. This person had history of AFib ablation in the past and the TEE was routine before their second ablation. It is important to hunt for all 4! 🫀#cardiotwitter

We know low dose aspirin can prevent pre-eclampsia... Interesting conversation about universal aspirin in pregnant women from a public health standpoint.

I took a hiatus but am now back! Starting off with this VSD. Heard a loud murmur for a routine pre-op clearance, "no known cardiac history".

@PaulNWilliamz @PennStHershey You AND @aliachisty are there?! 🤯🤯

The OG Alfieri stitch, precursor to mitraclip. First time ever seeing a patient with one and I got to do the TEE. Characteristic owls eyes we also see with mitraclip 🤓🫀🦉

A nice gesture from our noninvasive schedulers 🥰 happy doctor day!

[Joanna Rock (Catalano) @joannarockdo]

@AZviman @ASE360 It's interesting because in fellowship we usually did TG first if we were doing our own moderate sedation. Now at MMC every TEE has anesthesia support and the fellows are telling me I'm the only one 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Joanna Rock (Catalano) @joannarockdo]

I'm just curious. Who starts their TEE in the stomach?

I understand they're the most uncomfortable for the patient so to try to do them when the patients most sedated (i.e. the beginning). But no one does this? Why not?

Very mild posterior tricuspid valve leaflet impingement by pacemaker lead. Very satisfying and happy to say @morristownheart fellow acquired!
