This maneuver, in select cases, can increase patient’s candidacy for T-TEER. Heart team discussion involving EP is paramount when we #treatTR in patients with CIEDs. #iEcho American College of Cardiology Thanks Dr. Faza for impeccable mentorship, ChonyAlbert MD Amit Goyal MD MAS for a great discussion!

Treat the valve AND the myocardium when facing severe AS+amyloidosis. Both AVR and tafamidis independently ↓ mortality Dual therapy=best outcomes w/ similar survival to lone AS+AVR. Dual pathology is common (~13%) warranting RCT. tinyurl.com/2zmpht8x Bravo Thomas Treibel! 👏🏻
