I'm always interested at the unique nature of how PE presents. In this case hypoxemia with large oxygen requirement was predominant and persistent despite initial AC therapy. This resolved almost immediately on Thrombus aspiration Mustafa Ahmed Phillip Smith Baran Aksut

Basic Mitraclip Steering Tweetorial. Device View. (1/6) for fellows and whoever! Let's Start with M Knob. After the clip is advanced in to the LA, this is the typical maneuver to steer down to the valve. #UABStructural

Mitraclip Tweetorial Pt.2. Optimizing a perpendicular grasp. Getting off the aorta. I use this advanced steering technique in most Mitraclip cases. A perpendicular grasp allows for even bileaflet insertion without tension and clip canting on release.🧵 1/6 #UABStructural

Nice teaching TAVR. Degenerated 23mm CE valve. Predominant AI. Should be an easy case?! Very difficult to cross with valve even after upgrade to Lunderquist. Attempts to deploy valve resulted in exaggerated LV displacement despite pulling valve and pushing wire.
