More about this episode

The conversation covers recent landmark trials, relevant tricuspid physiology, and hands-on experiences in the cath lab with specialty devices like TriClip and Evoque. The interventionalists discuss patient selection, including how to distinguish which patients are most likely to benefit from intervention and how to define procedural success. Dr. Walsh and Dr. Raney also highlight the educational opportunities provided by MurmurMD, a specialized social media platform for peer-to-peer learning for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.
