PFO Closure
A deep dive into transcatheter PFO closure techniques, focusing on device selection and precise delivery for cryptogenic stroke prevention. Master hemodynamic assessment and post-procedure monitoring protocols for optimal patient outcomes.
TAVR: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
A minimally invasive intervention for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, TAVR requires precise balloon-expandable or self-expanding valve deployment under meticulous fluoroscopic and hemodynamic guidance. Professionals must master device-specific sheath management and rapid pacing protocols to optimize post-implant gradients.
TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement)
TMVR provides a minimally invasive alternative for patients with severe mitral valve disease who are at high surgical risk. Master the nuances of valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, and native mitral valve replacement techniques for optimal clinical outcomes.
Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER)
Mitral TEER is a minimally invasive structural heart intervention designed to treat significant mitral regurgitation by approximating valve leaflets with a clipping device. This procedure is a cornerstone for high-risk patients requiring symptomatic relief and improved cardiac hemodynamics.
TTVR (Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement)
Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR) offers a minimally invasive alternative for patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation who are at high surgical risk. This guide explores current valve technologies, venous access strategies, and specific hemodynamic considerations for the right heart.
Tricuspid TEER
Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) offers a minimally invasive solution for severe tricuspid regurgitation. This hub provides essential guidance on anatomical assessment and device delivery for structural heart teams.
Rapid Ventricular Pacing
Precise heart rate control is essential for stable device deployment during structural interventions. This hub provides professionals with technical protocols for temporary pacing lead placement and optimal rate settings during TAVR and balloon valvuloplasty.
ECMO
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) provides critical prolonged cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are unable to provide an adequate amount of gas exchange or perfusion to sustain life. Mastering circuit management and hemodynamic troubleshooting is essential for high-acuity cath lab and ICU teams.
