Two teaching points that most people are missing in these comments

1. Valve height is not important here. Native leaflet height is. A lower deployment would not change anything.

2. The catheter may pin the native leaflet. You cannot decide based on this angio. Deploy or IVUS.

Contemporary TAVI reduces death by more than half at 1 year.

And patients vastly prefer it.

The burden of proof is on surgical valves to outperform TAVI in the long term, not the other way round.

Interatrial Shunt Falls Short in Sham-Controlled RELIEVE-HF

Benefit was seen, however, in the HFrEF subset, hinting at a group to look at further, whereas HFpEF patients fared poorly.

Balloon counter-pulsation in the aortic annulus!

Elegant. Intuitive. Life saving for patients with acute severe AI and shock.

Congratulations Rim Halaby

Snaring the pin into the sheath can be challenging. I like the dual snare technique to direct the pin into the sheath. Alternatively, you can manually bevel the sheath.
