Please take a minute and watch this video. I truly hope my story can impact you or a loved one. Go to your doctor. Get your appropriate cancer screenings. Just remember the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” cancer.org/cancer/screening/…

Master the Vein of Marshall. This step by step guide details a precise, reproducible approach to ethanol infusion to improve outcomes in persistent AF and enhance mitral isthmus block. doi.org/10.1111/jce.16778 @PatelApoor @MiguelValderrab #Epeeps #Afib #CardioTwitter

Very proud of our EP program in #Oxford MS. We launched both Varipulse and Affera. Unbelievable ablation technologies for our patients in the community. On the CRM side, we performed our first leadless dual chamber Aveir pacemaker and had fun with a persistent left SVC case. #SternCardiovascular #ComeToTheSip #BannerSeason @Medtronic @JNJInnovation @AbbottNews

Hey #EPeeps. Could we one day “see” our ablation lesions? Initial proof of concept in-vivo data using #photoacoustic imaging. More to learn! Collaboration with Drs Carly Filgueira lab @HMethodistCV and Richard Bouchard @MDAndersonNews @JACCJournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep…

Dear @CardiologyCoder Pre ablation, it is standard for a cardiologist to bill for a TEE that clears the left atrial appendage. If I clear the left atrial appendage myself using intracardiac echo (ICE), am I allowed to bill for this separately since I am doing the same thing?

PFA is amazing. We all know that. My hope in 2025 is that more EP’s try to learn and implement Vein of Marshal ethanol ablation into their practice. Recent case: On 3rd ablation - Previous CTI, PVI, PW Large VOM, 5cc ethanol, mitral block and PW isolation #Epeeps #VOM #Afib

PROMPT-AF Trial (PVI + lines + Vein of Marshall ethanol infusion vs PVI alone for #AFib #ablation) * 70.7% vs 61.5% freedom from atrial arrhythmias w/o AAD in intervention arm (p=0.045, HR 0.73) * Longer procedure/fluoro/ablation times & more effusions #AHA24 #EPeeps

One of the many reasons why I order a cardiac CTA prior to Watchman implant. LAA morphology, sizing and most importantly - free of thrombus. #Yikes #Epeeps

Patient with 3 prior ablations presents with incessant atypical flutter. During 3rd injection of ethanol in the VOM, near-field mitral annular signals melt away. Endocardial line terminates flutter. CS ablation results in mitral isthmus block. #Epeeps #VeinOfMarshall

An example of why pacing for the phrenic nerve (and it’s course) is important prior to ablation. Successful PVI without injury to the phrenic nerve. #Epeeps #NoElevatedHemidiaphragm #SafetyFirst

Our first leadless #Aveir pacemaker implant with @AbbottCardio in #Oxford MS. Excited about the future of leadless pacemakers and bringing this technology to the community. #Epeeps #Pacing
