In summary, familiarity with the range of possible entities and distinguishing features of tracheobronchial tumors could prove valuable to radiologists in clinical practice. Check out bit.ly/3stLWpv for more detailed discussion! #RGphx 12/12

Endobronchial lipomas are composed entirely of mature adipose tissue, M:F ratio of 7:2, mean age of 60 years, and symptomatic presentation in 75% of pts. #RGphx 11/

Primary neoplasms of the airway include a broad range of malignant and benign entities. Let’s learn about the imaging characteristics, typical anatomic distributions, and bronchoscopic findings of these tumors from this paper by Girvin et al. bit.ly/3stLWpv #RGphx 1/

In summary, CT and MRI play an increasingly important role in preprocedure assessment for TTVI and provide complementary information to that of echocardiography. Check out bit.ly/3rsHTsT for more detailed discussion! #RGphx 13/13

The TA and TV have several adjacent structures that are critical for interventions. For example, the distance between TA and RCA is critical for annuloplasty and valve replacement or implantation procedures, which can potentially compress the RCA by radial force. #RGphx 12/

Cardiac CT&MR have several advantages for comprehensive assessment for transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions. Let’s learn about the advantages of each technique and how they complement echocardiography from this paper by @PR_CVRad et al. bit.ly/3rsHTsT #RGphx 1/
