@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.

[Mark Abrams @mpabrams]

@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.

@DocMomin So ridiculous!

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?

3/3 Someone please help me understand why this is what has become of our healthcare system.

[Mark Abrams @mpabrams]

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

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!

Some things are good for Passover… flourless brownies, flourless cookies, flourless cake, etc.

“Flour-o-less” ablation? Good all year round!

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?
