Looks like @VirginAustralia are going to be successful in stealing my $2160 I paid to fly family on a holiday. Book AND fly by 31/12 (not that easy for everyone to do) while other credits extended - egregious breach of consumer rights. Never again #virginaustralia
TAVI is twenty years old: performed, investigated, debated, with several questions looking for an answer. However, twenty years is a quite remarkable milestone, and the progress of other valve interventional procedures is far behind. A summary of the trials to date. #ESCCongress
This is my 3rd #tavr in TAV with this phenomenon of the Sapien jump. not a PVC, it is a frame-frame interaction even at 180 bpm : 26s3 in a 29 Evolut . In this case plenty of STJ space with higher implant . But have sequestered 1 left sinus due to the jump.
🧵on 'French' and 'Gauge'
The 'French' unit of measurement was once known as the 'Charrière', after Joseph-Frédéric-Benoît Charrière, a Swiss knifemaker who moved to France in 1820 and became a manufacturer of surgical instruments.
1 Fr = 1/3 mm.
It was renamed because...
@shahrukh_bakar Distinguishing features are inappropriately low troponin for degree of LV dysfunction, prolonged QTc and widespread TWI rather than what would be expected ACS and history often makes TTS almost certain.
@shahrukh_bakar Have a few times now seen ACS causing takotsubo. This clear TTS ventricle. Of course you can have TTS with severe CAD, not like CaD prevents TTS
@shahrukh_bakar Yeah exactly. The best example I can remember is a lateral STEMI with occluded OM and clear TTS ventricle. All the TTS recovered within days leaving inferolateral hypo.
