#heartsurgery #Mitralvalve #cardiotoot This is what a failed #Mitraclip looks like. This is the result of erroneous and indeterminate use of a relatively new technology in a patient that was no candidate for the treatment in the first place. A valve that otherwise could have been reconstructed had to be replaced. #Cardiodon #cardiology

Hello docs !
I'm informing myself about ekg machines.
I saw a EKG giving 12 or 22 leads from only 4 electrodes ("EASI Derivations") that seems realy easy to use/bring. (this one : https://www.cardiosecur.com/physicians/resting-ecg). Some studies on pubmed seems to say that it is as good as a traditional ECG with more electrodes (ex : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10688301/). Do some people out there use this kind of machine ? Any advice from cardio ?
Thks !!

#cardiotoot #Savr #cardioverse Recent case of #unicuspid #aortic valve. Two rudimentary commisures. Valve thickened. Not a good case for a “first” in unicuspid repair. Aorta not dilated, no aneurysm. Went for standard mechanical prosthesis.

I am going to mirror Tweets/Toots from the lab on Mastodon as long as there is uncertainty on the future of #Twitter
Maybe we will switch entirely to Mastodon as a professional tool for #ScienceNews #ResearchNews. Time will tell...
