#2/4 Trangastric views important in procedure to orient edge-to-edge (ETE) device and ensure tissue bridge, reduction in TR. @gilberttang @PSorajja @JoaoLCavalcante @TCTMD @ASE360 #echotwitter #TVTConnect
#3/4 Tricuspid Commissural View (Deep Esophageal shown here) or Mid Esophageal view is “working view” for ETE device: anterior leaflet near aorta, posterior leaflet away from aorta, septal leaflet out of plane (seen on orthogonal image). @EdwinHoMD @TCTMD @ASE360 #echotwitter
