For student coming onto #cardiacsurgery: here’s a primer on cardiopulmonary bypass I usually give between rounds and incision
You won’t pass perfusion boards from this 🧵but hopefully you’ll feel more oriented at the table.

Bypass helps us overcome some unique challenges of operating on the heart:
🫀It’s full of blood
🫀It moves
🫀If it’s not moving, then something else needs to perfuse the body while we interrupt it from doing that

Dr. Stephanie Curties on Ebstein's disease
🌟Ebstein's more than downward displacement of tricuspid valve --> 💥RV myopathy
🌟Echo: imaging modality of choice
🌟TR is usually severe
🌟variable morphology
🌟Look for associated lesions

#BSEcho2020 Dr. Curties: The forgotten and easily ignored tricuspid valve
🌟Thin leaflets <3 mm
🌟cords insert into 2 adjacent leaflets
🌟3 sets of PMs
🌟No fibrous continuity with PV
🌟Close to AV node #cardiacsurgery

#BSEcho2020 Dr. Curties:The three leaflets of the tricuspid valve
ANTERIOR: large, usually semicircular, infundibular, varying number of scallops
SEPTAL: small, semi-oval, medial, PM may be absent
POSTERIOR: smallest
