We report two cases of percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure using the new Watchman FLX device leading to Device-Associated Thrombus (DAT) in the setting of nonadherence with oral anticoagulation. Read our CV Case Journal article: bit.ly/44ptPPF



#JADEL A marvelous report in CV Case Journal from Muhamed Saric et al demonstrating the TUPLE maneuver ("tilt up, turn left") to facilitate LAAO device placement. Another must read in CASE: doi.org/10.1016/j.case… CV Case Journal

Very late SOV sequestration cases, angina presentation treated with percutaneous stenting of the STJ. Now in JACC Journals TAVR Bot Dr. Gilbert Tang Sunil V. Rao MIЯVΛƬ #IC ༄ 。° Abdelkader Almanfi, MD, FACC, FSCAI sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We have developed a simplified version of the below 3D TEE maneuver, which minimizes the number of image rotation and cropping steps. We have termed this simplified version the 3D left atrial appendage (LAA) multiview (LAAM) technique. bit.ly/46LIIMO CV Case Journal


Join us in Scottsdale, AZ for #EchoSOTA, taking place at the The Westin Kierland on February 16-19, 2024! Sign up: bit.ly/3EbojEs New topics this year include: 🟢 Advanced hemodynamics 🟢 Myocardial strain 🟢 Structural heart disease 🟢 The impact of AI and machine learning


Fantastic step-by-step demonstration of 3D cropping and manipulation with transillumination to reveal LAA morphology in current CV Case Journal issue, demonstrated by Muhamed Saric Alan Vainrib & team. Try this in your next LAA TEE (if technology is available). 👉cvcasejournal.com/article/S2468-…

Outstanding Steven Sedlis MD Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor Howard Herrmann from Penn Medicine on TAVR hemodynamics and outcomes. Steve would have loved the talk.

Excited to moderate the Great Debate: TEE vs ICE for LAAO with a star-studded panel and 2 INCREDIBLE speakers at #ASE2024. Friday (6/14) Noon Oregon 202. Who wins? Who loses? YOU decide. You do NOT want to miss this! 💪 American Society of Echocardiography #iecho #CardioTwitter


Kiran Belani, MD, FASE, FACC starts of TEE vs ICE debate #ase2024 American Society of Echocardiography. Key points 1) quality of tee imaging particularly 3D 2) ICE frame rates in color still lagging 3) logistics Richard Sheu Lucy Nishath Quader, MD


Alan Vainrib with the counter. ICE with expert users equivalent imaging with shorter procedure times, less flouro, less sedation, less costs than TEE. American Society of Echocardiography #ase2024. Richard Sheu


Met Dr Lee Frazin American Society of Echocardiography–unsung hero of TEE—Did you know he did the first TEE in humans—he swallowed the probe himself the first time—led to TEE guided M- mode imaging and then 2D imaging—knew about Werner Frossman doing Cath on himself—did not know TEE had same story European Society of Cardiology


#1 in New York and #2 in the Nation according to U.S. News & World Report! So proud of our faculty, fellows and staff NYU Langone Health who strive each and every day to provide world-class cardiovascular care.



Very excited that #ASE2025 is just around the corner! Cookie Monster may make an appearance. Will you? #ASE50 #SeeYouInNashville G.

So deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Roberto Lang — a true pioneer in echocardiography and an inspiration to me and so many in our field. His vision, mentorship, and legacy will echo through generations of imagers. Rest in peace. American Society of Echocardiography Muhamed Saric Omar Khalique Akhil Narang, MD
