1st #TAVR#cuspoverlapchallenge w/ Stewart Benton & #EvolutPRO+. Absolutely loved it -- simple/streamlined technique that gives you confidence in where you are landing the valve in relationship to the vital structures. Thanks also Dr. Gada & @anvoramd for excellent education!
Easily combined with @GilbertTangMD#CommissuralAlignment. Hat should be center front in the #cuspoverlap view.
Insert valve delivery catheter with flush ports away from you and make sure that the hat marker is on the outer curve in the proximal descending aorta

Cool trick to easily direct a catheter into the left pulmonary artery -- learned from @MarcSintek while I was at @WashU_cards@WUSTLmed
