Q

What is the release criteria for a Watchman?

A
  1. Position - Device distal to LAA
  2. Anchor - Fixation anchors and is engaged or stable
  3. Size - Device is compressed 8-20% of original size (said another way 80-92% of original size)
  4. Seal - Ensure all lobes are distal to the device

Q

What are the pragmatic ways in which you measure the LAA ostium at different angles (4 of the them)?

Include angle measurements and where to measure

A

0 degrees - Measure from coronary artery marker to a ppint 2 cm from tip of “limbus”

45 degrees - Measure from top of LV annulus to a ppint 2 cm from tip of “limbus”

90 degrees - Measure from top of LV annulus to a ppint 2 cm from tip of “limbus”

135 degrees - Measure from top of LV annulus to a ppint 2 cm from tip of “limbus”

Q

What two heart conditions are found in Lutembacher Syndrome?

A

1. Mitral Stenosis

2. ASD

Lutembacher syndrome is defined as a combination of mitral stenosis and a left-to-right shunt at the atrial level. Typically, the left-to-right shunt is an atrial septal defect (ASD) of the ostium secundum variety. Both these defects, ASD and mitral stenosis, can be either congenital or acquired
