Mashup Score: 0VIDEO: Trends in Structural Heart Procedural Imaging - a discussion with Rebecca Hahn - 2 year(s) ago
CVD recently conducted an interview with Rebecca T. Hahn, MD, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Chief Scientific Officer of the echo core lab at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), and Director of Interventional Echocardiography at the Columbia Structural Heart and Valve Center. In it, she discusses some of the trends in the growing use of…

According to Genereux, asymptotic severe aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with poor prognosis, especially when a patient has an abnormal stress test. However, better evidence is needed to determine how to best manage these patients. “Obviously TAVR has been shown to be equal to surely in some patients, and now what we are doing is investigating the need to intervene earlier in patients, not…

A decade ago, when transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was first cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many expected TAVR would only be used in a small portion of patients, and surgeons had concerns about losing business. A decade on, the unexpected happened, and it turns out with TAVR, everyone is a winner, including the patient, interventional cardiologist, hospitals…

She said this year’s TVT was exciting because it was the first in-person meeting since 2019, and there was a lot of new technology discussed in sessions. This included first reports on clinical use of new technologies for the mitral valve and tricuspid valve. “The question is which ones will come out in the wash and which of these technologies will become the most successful,” Asgar said. “We…

Mashup Score: 0VIDEO: Transcatheter myectomy to prevent LVOT obstruction in mitral valve replacement - 2 year(s) ago
This is the fourth procedure Greenbaum helped develop along with colleagues at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that uses electrosurgery cutting technology modified for transcatheter heart procedures. These are all designed to expand the number of eligible patients for transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). These procedures include…

Mashup Score: 1VIDEO: Transcatheter tricuspid devices likely to gain FDA clearance before new mitral advances - 2 year(s) ago
It was clear at TVT that tricuspid valve therapies will likely move ahead of new mitral therapies coming to market. Several structural heart thought leaders, including Latib, shared this opinion, saying the tricupid is an easier valve to problem solve for, having the more complex anatomy and higher pressure environment of the left ventricle. The tricuspid valve is certainly no longer the…

He explained the key elements required include: 1. Champion interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons who can work together as a team and share decision making for what is best for the patient. 2. Interventional imagers who can work as a key part of the team for pre-procedural evaluations and guide imaging during procedures. This is usually a dedicated interventional…
