#ASD 3D #echofirst- landmark in LA view - can see Taurus (bulls head of aortic root butting itself into the roof of LA)
TEE 0 deg if you push in probe (inferior/south will see CS coronary sinus or pull up on probe- superior

🔹The optimal mesaurement location of the IVC in the long-axis view is either 2 cm below the RA-IVC junction or approximately 1 cm below the HV-IVC junction.

Two different reasons for structural mitral regurgitation
1️⃣ Chordae tendineae rupture
2️⃣ Papillary muscle rupture
2️⃣ is a much more dramatic condition and is usually associated with myocardial infarction. Patient is often in shock.
Check our latest publication on the potential benefits of aortic valve opening in LVAD patients - just published in @ArtifOrgans! ➡️doi.org/10.1111/aor.14891
Thanks to all the co-authors and very especially to @JanKnierim for the magnificent lead of the project!
Among patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, early TAVR was superior to clinical surveillance in reducing the incidence of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes. Full EARLY TAVR trial results: nej.md/4hjJZRc#TCT2024

Intraprocedural TEE guidance in 3 patients with aortic dissection (A or B) undergoing surgical/interventional repair.
When putting the guide wires it’s important to distinguish between false & true lumen.

🔓 3D TEE Image Acquisition 🔓
Just 2️⃣ 2D TEE views are needed for 3️⃣ 3D TEE measurements
1️⃣ LV Volumetry
2️⃣ RV Volumetry
3️⃣ 3D MV
Pulmonary embolism (McConnell sign):
Regional right ventricular dysfunction in acute
Note dyskinesis of mid right ventricular free wall (blue arrows) and relative sparing of the apex and the base (green arrows) .
LA , Left atrium; LV , left ventricle; RA , right atrium; RV , right ventricle.
