@ashleighlowther Clinically relevant rib fracture and pneumothorax are well seen on chest X-ray. And the exam can be done without moving the patient.

A chest xray is not the correct test if you are looking for rib fractures. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. But seriously how do we get this message across and standardise practice.

Moving to the cardiac exam, we have the definitive confirmation that this is in fact NOT asthma or COPD or PE or other lung disease but in fact heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction

The more we #pocus, the more we worry cases like this are the rule, not the exception. This is a 51 yo M with no known history developed 1-2 weeks of shortness of breath. Went to his pcp who diagnosed him with asthma and prescribed an inhaler.

Can you help with the last case? It’s “just” a diagnostic right and left. Chronic “hypotension” and cardiomyopathy.

@criticaresnips @Mitrovalvology Assuming elevated pressure, would a shunt from the left atrial appendage to the left upper pulmonary vein utilize pulmonary vein distensibility—and simultaneously spare the left atrium?

Why is pulmonary edema a common feature of severe acute Mitral regurgitation ? Why is pulmonary edema not a common feature of severe chronic Mitral regurgitation?

@adithm13 Nice images. Why would the LV gram cause the thrombus to embolize? Is embolization more common with pvc? Does lv gram cause pvc?

@jskimMD This step interests me. Was it difficult to get the PV snare disengaged? Looks trivial in the fluoro scene, but I’m wondering if it has the potential to be more tricky?

(10/17) Once the balloon was partially in the hepatic vein, the 10Fr sheath advanced into the portal vein as the balloon was deflated (Dotter technique). The 10Fr sheath with an inner dilator was advanced while retracting the Amplatz wire in order to free the portal vein snare.

If anyone was curious how Avitene holds up in the setting of ascites… I’d say pretty well!

@MichaelaHerber8 I think if you place the valve in the femoral vein, you must ablate the GSV. I suppose if you put the valve in the EIV or CFV you wouldn’t necessarily need to ablate GSV.

Seems it would be quite a level up on balloon valvuloplasty.

@eytanraz @SiemensHealth Thinking more of the contrast bolus delivery rather than the c arm spin time. Maybe direct rather than fast? Anyway. Great images!
