@nateburleson 77 Red Grange, the Galloping Ghost!!!

@GolicAndWingo Opportunity, the NBA should go to tiny local venues. School arenas, etc. Still televised. <1000 people.

@ekgpdx @smbracewell And the cheapest!

@smbracewell @EricKirker Done with cutdown carotid access and the distal carotid is clamped during the valve deployment. It’s the best embolic protection there is!

Transcarotid now 2nd most common S3 #TAVR alternative access in TVT registry! Compared to axillary: ⬇️stroke, ⬇️proc time, ⬇️LOS. Presented by @EricKirker at #STS2020

@AdamGreenbaumMD @ekgpdx @brandonjonesmd I wish transcaval has explicitly labeled as a category going back

@ekgpdx @EricKirker @brandonjonesmd If the analysis included a comparison to “Other” which is mostly, if not all, transcaval, I think you would find even more provocative results.

@luchoara @ekgpdx Not at all. TC TAVR is fin in ICA stent.

@ekgpdx @EricKirker Is the history of a carotid stent a contraindication?

@GolicAndWingo I have the Kawhi solution. The NBA denotes a franchise player for each franchise, and a team gives up a percentage of TV money each game that player isn't on court and not on IR

@ekgpdx Ethan I used this all yesterday and it was perfect!

New strategy for perfect 90/10 Sapien 3 Ultra #TAVR deployment: ignore the marker! Align the “lucent line” of bottom cells with the annulus. 💥 @EricKirker

Personal best: 6️⃣ #MitraClip case! Degenerative MR and TR. #treatTR #trycuspid @brandonjonesmd

@kjspin7 @ekgpdx @brandonjonesmd Thanks! We would love to write it with you.

@ekgpdx @EricKirker @brandonjonesmd Awesome! Would be a great paper to submit to new #JACCCaseReports journal

How do you #TAVR with axillary 5.0 #Impella in place, and save the Impella for continued use? Go transeptal and snare it back in! Vasculopath with AS and shock. #TranscarotidTAVR @EricKirker @brandonjonesmd

S3 Embolizes. Wouldn't go in descending. Trapped it in ascending with right transcarotid EVAR cuff.
