First-in-human TELLTALE-BASILICA St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center! TELLTALE is the first and only dedicated system for transcatheter electrosurgical leaflet modification. Life is so much easier with dedicated devices - BASILICA took only a few minutes and the patient did great! Details at #crt2023

Congrats to the fantastic innovators Jaffar Khan and Chris Bruce for winning the Best Cardiovascular Interventions! #CRT2023 NHLBI Bethesda Labs

Fantastic talk by Jaffar Khan on TELLTALE (Transmural Systems), a dedicated electrosurgery Basilica device to prevent TAVR-related coronary obstruction, and the ongoing IDE trial #CRT2023 NHLBI Bethesda Labs

Open #SESAME: SEptal Surfing Along Midline Endocardium by Dr. Robert Lederman @ #CRT2023 🏄🏻‍♂️🫀 ➡️ need better septal solutions — HCM, #TMVR ➡️ SESAME: septal splaying over days-wks, is myoectomy needed? ➡️ single-center IDE coming Crossing, surfing, slicing, squeezing coming soon

#transcaval access and closure best practices state of the art review. Thorough guide for patient selection, procedural steps for crossing and closure. Adam Greenbaum Jaffar Khan Chris Bruce jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Cusp height > coronary height AND VTC<4 —OR— Ca vol>600 ➡️Coronary Obstruction Validated in the largest CT cohort of angiographically confirmed TAVR-induced coronary obstruction cases.

Fantastic electrosurgery session at CSI Congress #csifrankfurt with excellent discussion on transcaval, basilica, lampoon, and tips and tricks for intraprocedural imaging Adam Greenbaum Jaffar Khan Jamie McCabe

Fireworks tomorrow; first spark ten years ago today-happy tenth anniversary to transcaval TAVR and the explosion of transcatheter electrosurgery since.

SESAME is a catheter-based non-surgical myotomy that can relieve #LVOT obstruction in #cvHCM and can create space to allow #TMVR. See the results in #JACC: bit.ly/4c98Uo3

Congrats Rim Halaby! Exciting developments in this area — stay tuned!!! #ablatevt Faisal Merchant Mikhael El-Chami Anand
