9. How to Evaluate a Native Heart Valve using TEE

Native Valve Evaluation in Echocardiography: A Comprehensive Guide   In Episode 9 of TEE Time, Dr. Andreas Plackis provides an in-depth guide on evaluating native heart valves for potential surgical intervention. Emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach, he discusses the various factors influencing the decision-making process beyond echocardiographic severity. The episode details a six-step assessment framework, including clinical history, 2D and 3D echocardiographic imaging, Doppler measurements, and other relevant cardiac data. Dr. Plackis highlights the significance of contextualizing each finding within the broader clinical picture to make well-informed decisions about valvular interventions. Viewers are also encouraged to share their unique experiences and practices in the comments section to foster collective learning.   00:00 Introduction to Native Valve Evaluation 00:36 Key Factors in Valvular Intervention 02:10 Clinical Assessment of Patients 05:26 2D Echocardiographic Evaluation 07:55 Doppler Echocardiography Insights 10:26 Quantitative Measurements 11:53 3D Echocardiography Advantages 12:38 Other Echocardiographic Data 13:52 Summary and Key Takeaways 14:50 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview   EVERY HEART TELLS A STORY AND EACH PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS   #TEE #Echocardiography #Anesthesia #Cardiology #CriticalCare #EmergencyMedicine #Sonographer #CardiacSurgery #FOAMed #POCUS #Ultrasound #Anesthesiology #Perioperative #CardiacAnesthesia #AnesthesiaPodcast #Anesthesiology #Echo #Surgery #AdvancedTEE #PerioperativeTEE #TTE #Sonography #CABG #TEETime #TransesophagealEchocardiography #CICU #CVICU #ICU #ResuscitativeTEE #ACLS

Om Podcasten

TEE Time is the first-of-its-kind video podcast dedicated to the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the perioperative setting. It is specifically designed for anesthesiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac sonographers, emergency medicine providers, and cardiac ICU team members. Dr. Andreas Plackis is a triple board-certified, Vanderbilt-trained cardiac anesthesiologist and TEE enthusiast whose mission is to transform perioperative TEE education by delivering high-yield, concise video episodes packed with clinically relevant TEE tips and expert recommendations to elevate your practice. TEE Time episodes take a case-based approach, diving deep into how TEE is best utilized throughout the perioperative setting, including valve repair and replacement, temporary and durable mechanical support, aortic dissection, heart and lung transplants, structural heart interventions, rescue echo, non-cardiac surgery, and much more!
