Well despite the mid-year scare after reheating fish, I managed to make it through interventional fellowship and celebrated with the best crew at the only appropriate place…a seafood restaurant. Douglas Drachman Nilay Patel Anthony Buckley Njambi Mathenge, MD, MPH Tom Gilliland MareBoston

Thank you UW Med Cath Lab and Dr. Bill Lombardi for having me as a live case operator. Outstanding cases and fantastic learning! Special shout out to my co-operators, Kate Kearney and Rhian E. Davies DO MS! Looking forward to even more collaboration with UWashington Heart Institute and Mass General Heart.

Can we precisely rewrite the genetic code - make a single DNA spelling change - in the liver of a human being for clinical effect? YES! Scientific milestone: VERVE-101 provides first proof-of-concept for in vivo DNA base editing in humans Clinical implication: It’s early

The mitral valve (anterior leaflet) is designed to direct blood flow towards a smooth sliding path which begins at the basal posterior wall and ends at the LVOT—thereby minimizing LV energy expenditure during ejection. Cheers🍷

Astonishing results from the DanGer Shock Trial presented at #ACC24 and out in NEJM today. In patients with ST-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock, Impella reduced all-cause mortality (45.8% Impella vs. 58.5% control) at 180 days. Some thoughts on this ground breaking trial:

Does Sentinel BostonSci Cardiology reduce disabling stroke during #TAVR ? ✅YES, but benefit is small (13% RRR; NNT ~500-800) for all comers. ✅Patients with prior stroke have a ⬆️⬆️ benefit (RRR 40%, NNT ~150).

Devastating. Dark times ahead….

Interventional cardiologists with Georgia Heart Institute recently performed the first cases in the Southern United States using the SpectraWAVE HyperVue Imaging System. This system uses near-infrared "DeepOCT" and NIRS technology to capture highly detailed images from inside the

Wow…..very important progress being made for percutaneous valve retrieval in non-salvage TAVR cases
