One of the key challenges during MitraClip (TEER) procedures is determining
Echocardiography is one of the most essential skills in modern cardiology. Whether you are:
• A cardiology resident
IntroductionAccurate measurement of mitral valve area (MVA) is essential in the management of rheumatic mitral stenosis, especially when deciding on interventions such as:• Balloon mitral valvuloplasty• Mitral valve repair or …
Introduction Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a critical step in many structural heart interventions, including:• Mitral valve repair (MitraClip)• Balloon mitral valvuloplasty• Left atrial appendage (LAA) closureDespite its routine use, TSP …
In modern cardiology, excellence in cardiac imaging is no longer optional—it is essential.
From routine diagnosis to advanced structural heart interventions, mastering:
• Echocardiography
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a complex disease where:
👉 Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
Introduction The coronary sinus (CS) has become a critical anatomical structure in modern cardiology, especially in: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) Arrhythmia ablation Percutaneous mitral interventions (e.g., CARILLON annuloplasty) However, coronary …
While 2D TEE provides useful information, it is often limited in fully characterizing complex septal anatomy.
