Where do you measure LVOT if self-expanding TAVR is deep? ✱ Default LVOT measurement → edge–to–outer edge of TAVR (A, arrow) & PW is just prox to valve (B) ✱ Alternative approach → inner edge–to–inner edge diameter immediately prox to the cusps (D) & PW placed inside valve

Closure of a PFO occurs by fusion of the septum primum & septum secundum at the caudal limit of the zone of overlap of these structures. ✱ Incomplete fusion results in a pouch-like anatomic region that can communicate with the LA cavity ⇢ "atrial septal pouch" ✱ It has been

Published JASE: TEER preserves MV annular dynamics better than annuloplasty in FMR pts—potentially improving LV function. TEER maintains intercommissural motion & area dynamics; surgery restricts motion in all directions Link → bit.ly/43K7jSd

The echo world mourns the loss of Dr. Roberto M. Lang—a true giant in cardiovascular ultrasound. His pioneering work in 3D echo, dedication to education, and unwavering mentorship shaped a generation. His legacy lives on in every 3D Echo image. asecho.org/news/rememberi…
