The expert electrophysiology team at UAB Cardiovascular Institute just became the 1st in Alabama and among the 1st in the nation to utilize a cutting-edge treatment - pulsed-field ablation - to treat atrial fibrillation with reduced complications. More details on this procedure are coming soon!🫀⚡️

Patient referred from OSH for pacemaker extraction due to persistent MRSA bacteremia. Discovered this not so subtle vegetation at the IVC/RA junction during pre-op TEE. I wasn’t anticipating having to use AngioVac, but the results were quite satisfying.

I wonder how many brother cardiologists are at ACC this year. Glad my little (bigger) brother could make it. #UABatACC24 Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic #ACC24

#UABatACC #ACC24 Had a great day learning and hanging out with my awesome UAB colleagues! Will Morgan Sean Dunn, MD Luke Joseph, MD

Highlights from my talk on OAC in device detected atrial fibrillation (DDAF): - DDAF affects 30% of pts w/ CIED >65 yo - Stroke risk related to longest duration and CHA2DS2-VASc - DDAF <5 min not clinically significant but >24h approaches clinical AF if elevated C2V - >6 min

We have had a great initial experience with Farapulse and Ensite X! The mapping system coupled with ICE in the left atrium ensures proper catheter positioning for therapy delivery. Abbott Cardiovascular Preston Segars BostonSci Cardiology @WilliamMaddoxMD

64 yo with recent PNA admitted with presumed ruptured mycotic aneurysm. Underwent TEVAR, blood cx + strep immediately post-op. Then s/p DTA replacement, TEVAR explant. Doing great at 4 wk follow up! UAB Surgery UAB Cardiovascular Institute Benjamin Pearce #AortaEd

UAB becomes the first in the world to use a new vascular closure system that helps stop bleeding after electrophysiology procedures using venous vascular access. This system eliminates manual compression, allowing patients to ambulate earlier. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wLfio

CVD Director, Dr. Nicole Lohr, was named a 2024 Southern Society for Clinical Investigator Fellow in recognition of her meritorious scholarship in clinical medicine and her exceptional professional reputation. Congrats, Nicole Lohr, MD, PhD!

First month of EP fellowship was full of amazing cases. We used an Amplatzer PFO closure device to occlude an incomplete over-sewn appendage. It required creative planning and using some cool toys like 3D-ICE. #UABCVI #EPeeps

ACC leadership Accelerator class of 2025!! Had a wonderful time during kickoff yesterday. Thank you American College of Cardiology for the amazing opportunity

👏👏👏

In 1958, this man’s heart kept stopping—20 times a day. Doctors had no solution. Then his wife demanded an experimental surgery that had only been tested on dogs. What happened next changed medicine forever. 🧵

The TRAVERSE trial shows reduced risk of acute brain lesions with transeptal approach in patients undergoing left ventricular catheter ablation, compared to a retrograde aortic approach. ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
