@Akram_Kawsara @adnanalkhouli @ppsengupta1 @BadhwarVinay @RameshDaggubati @kadiyala2000 @WVUHeart @sudarshanballa @WVUMedicine @amerysayed Could consider AtriClip from AtriCure as an option. Interesting to know how you ended up doing it. Keep us posted. Thx.

@evandrofilhobr @aidanraneymd @Almanfi_Cardio @ekgpdx @GuiAttizzaniMD @GilbertTangMD Two other tips - 1. The minus knob on the SGC will angulate clip posteriorly, riding the aorta, giving a better approach to grasp posterior leaflet. 2. If all else fails, brief adenosine arrest will allow the prolapsed posterior leaflet to rest on the MitraClip. @SachinGoelMD

QRS remained narrow for 36 hours.

Performed EP study: PR 288, QRS 84, AH 210, and HV 56 which was surprising.

One explanation for narrow QRS - transient injury to left bundle leading to prolonged PR and simultaneous right and left bundle conduction, hence narrow QRS.

92-yr-old man with severe AS and severe MR (P2 flail). pre-EKG: RBBB, LAFB, 1st-degree block (PR 250 ms). Large aortic annulus (~800) and LVOT. TAVR (29 Sapien S3+5 cc) and MitraClip (2 clips with a reduction in MR to mild to moderate) performed. Post-TAVR EKG below. What next?

Also, appears (drop in RA pressure over the reduction of TR) to be the best available parameter of predicting the success of treatment. The patient should feel a lot better.

Since everyone is talking reform, dear editors plz consider 1.Standardize submission processes 2.Pick reviewers/AEs who judge study quality not its fitting w their views 3. 3-months for a decision is too long 4.Allow >24h 2edit the proofs. #cardiotwitter plz add to the wish list!
