(1/22) Acute PE treatment. An ever evolving landscape.
How about a #tweetorial on acute pulmonary embolism (#PE) and how to use mechanical #thombectomy with @InariMedical #FlowTriever?? Lets goooooo!

2/ From @CDCgov data one American dies of a blood clot every....? #VTE #PE @PERTConsortium #InariFellowsForum
3/ Acute #PE stats
📊100,000–180,000 PE-related deaths annually in US
📊PE is the most preventable cause of death among hospitalized patients
📊3rd leading cardiovascular cause of death after coronary disease and stroke
⏱ 1 American dies of a blood clot every 6 seconds

#FITSurvivalGuide 1/10 Tweetorial on MR. From JASE April 2017. This is an extensive topic, and a tweetorial will not do justice, so highly recommend to read this article. @ASE360 @ACCCardioEd @newmexicoacc #echoboards

MR can be 1’ or 2’. Simplified version: 1’ MR d/t pathology of the valve itself. 2’ MR = MV apparatus is intact, w/ ventricular disease (LV dilatation) dilated MV annulus to MV leaflets malcoaptation MR (~central jet). Also useful to use Carpentier classification.

Determine the scallops. First heard from @MayoClinicCV: 2 steps
1.At 0 deg: Determine if ant or post leaflet abn
2.At 60 deg: Determine which scallop 1,2, or 3

Ultrasound waves need a media to travel. Our tissues are that media. All tissues have different acoustic impedances. Air, fat, water, blood, muscle, bone listed in increasing impedance. Always there will be reflected & refracted waves as it traverses different tissue layers.
Remember that the way the US distributes the waves in a phased array probe is similar to a folding fan, so reflection (rebound) & refraction (change in direction) occurs across the sector width (Triangle area where you see the images) look at panel B of above figure.
