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.

Points: If difficult to cross - assess frame expansion carefully. If restrained and/or unpredictable moves - consider pre-dil. Don't get cute with 1-2 mm deployments - allow room for unexpected and expect postdil. Can pre-dil even in bio-prosthesis (i do a few times a year).

Complex simplification of structural heart with Echo fusion and AI. Within a few years will be Holo lens and 4D with depth perception. Here's a recent example from my lab where the workflow is routine, this is part of what we see on screen during the procedure. #UABStructural

They’ve killed him. They must be held accountable. The #Syrian gov kidnapped, disappeared & murdered my father in their notorious prisons w/o even charging him with a crime or a trial. Justice must be served. My father was a man of peace, love, an award winning psychotherapist

As a structural intervention faculty at UAB Medicine , education of fellows is one of my favorite parts of the job. Having recently completed fellowship with Phillip Smith under the mentorship of Mustafa Ahmed at UAB one of the key points was that we never want to do things
