@drjohnm The concept that fluoro is safer for transseptal and catheter manipulation seems objectively more a preference thing. ICE shows exactly where you are inside the body, not just where you are relative to a shadow. The article does create good discussion though.
@drjohnm With all due respect, when was the last time you saw vasculature and detailed anatomy on fluoro? Complications can happen even if someone does everything right. Period. Just because certain people don’t feel comfortable with just ICE and no fluoro doesn’t mean it’s any worse.
1/3 I had a “peer to peer“ today regarding an EP procedure denial. The peer reviewer was an internist. I asked if a cardiologist or EP was available…no.
Should that be allowed?

2/3 If the patient has an adverse outcome that might have been prevented if the denied treatment was approved, who is responsible?

Spotlight Interview: Northern Westchester Hospital
In this month’s issue, we highlight this cardiac #electrophysiology program at @NWHospital in Mt. Kisco, New York and the #EPeeps that keep it running: https://t.co/EpSAFQMyVd
The professional paradox… In training, we strive to be attendings and as attendings, we strive to be fellows.
I might not be able to go to #HRS2022, but I’m so happy a piece of @HRSonline came to me!

Favorite line I say to fellows when starting an AFib ablation… “Did you bring your lead? Good, now go hang it up.” First it was flourless tortillas, then flourless brownies, but my favorite is fluoroless ablations! 😉
Who’s with me?

This July, I’m excited to have a real job! Can’t wait to continue my journey at @CareMountMed and working with the EP labs of @NWHospital and @lenoxhill!
