Structural Heart Disease Highlights: Cardiologists make history | Radiation exposure in the cath lab | Redo TAVR

The new valve was placed inside the damaged valve via a catheter that is inserted through a small incision in the patient's neck. 

Two experienced TAVR specialists—Sachin Goel, MD, and Michael Reardon, MD—examined the growing trend of younger, low-risk patients being recommended for TAVR over SAVR.

TEER can significantly improve a patient's chances of survival, new findings confirm.

Researchers found that echocardiographers in the cath lab are exposed to high doses of radiation on the right half of their body, especially the waist and lower body. 

The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) released a new guideline document that outlines uniform training standards for interventional sonographers guiding structural heart procedures.

Researchers evaluated data from more than 200 patients who underwent redo TAVR, noting that women and patients with a higher BMI faced a higher risk of coronary flow compromise.
