Live case study: Atrial Septal Defect Diagnosis and Repair
This Atrial Septal Defect closure demonstrates the benefits of integrating ultrasound echocardiography into the procedure room to assist in the guidance of structural heart disease interventions. The integration of x-ray fluoroscopy and ultrasound echocardiography technologies, specifically real-time 3D TEE and its accompanying xPlane offering two simultaneous ultrasound perspectives, as well as the integration of the ultrasound team (echocardiographer and/or sonographer) allows for more efficient heart disease interventions. The three dimensional aspect of echo imaging greatly helps to understand the anatomy of the defect and also during the actual deployment of the device in terms of sizing, alignment, and placement in 3D space of the heart, and then to do a quick efficient interrogation of whether device deployment has a good rim capture, or whether there is residual leaks or any other issues with the device interfering with contiguous structures like valves. The value of real-time three dimensional and multi-plane echocardiography increases even more proportionally as larger and more complex ASDs are operated on percutaneously.
Heart Stories Session 2 - Mayo Clinic
As part of a Special Briefing for News Media at The Paley Center for Media in New York , hosted by Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sharonne Hayes, in conjunction with National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, one panel was held, What Troubles the 50+ Woman's Heart? February 9th, 2011 - 12:05 am This panel delved into the many unique aspects of heart disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention for those conditions that occur predominantly in older women. Panelists: • C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, Director,Woman's Heart Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Dr. Bairey Merz's research interests include mental stress and heart disease, the role of exercise and stress management in reversing disease and the role of nutrition in heart disease. She is a recognized authority on heart disease and stress. • Patrice Desvigne-Nickens, MD, Program Director, Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Bethesda, MD. Dr. Desvigne-Nickens, who is responsible for scientific development of research programs focused on prevention, recognition and treatment in cardiovascular medicine, is particularly interested in developing ways to personalize medicine that can improve cardiovascular health for women and minorities. • Alexandra Lansky, MD, Director, Yale Women's Heart Center, New Haven, Conn. Dr. Lansky has served as the principal investigator on numerous angiographic and intravascular ...
