    In a life blessed w/many joys & proud moments, this might be the proudest moment yet for @SunitaNathanMD & myself. Our daughter just graduated from UC Lab School & starts undergrad @UChicago this fall! Much gratitude to all her teachers & mentors. CONGRATS Anokha! You did it!!

    Orthogonal projections are really important in vascular imaging. I suspect #PrinceWilliam agrees. #CardioTwitter.

    Did we just discover a novel cardiac structure? It’s currently being called “flippy cardiac structure NOS” (although “pretty distracting during a 3hr roto case” also works nicely). Any ideas what it actually is? #CardioTwitter [posted w/permission]

    15 yrs ago this wk, I did my 1st case @UChicagoMed. It’s been an *amazing ride* thx to my patients, colleagues past/present, @UCCardsFellows, @uchicagohvc & the #UChicagoCathLab: Best. Crew. Ever. Thx for making my worklife so good/entertaining. #CardioTwittter #MedTwitter #MedEd

    Best. Mug. Ever. Big thanks to the hilarious @lroark10 for my new favorite thing & for insuring that I’ll crack up every time I take a sip of coffee! 😂🤣 #CICULife #CardioTwitter #UChicagoCathLab

    I’m in the “selective use of pulmonary thrombectomy” camp, but not gonna lie: this one was pretty satisfying. One pass and near-normalization of PASP. 02 sat 90 –> 100%. Wish it always went down like this. @PERTConsortium #CardioTwitter #UChicagoCathLab #MedEd

    Great line from a new patient: “Hi doc. I’m homozygous for a CYP2C19 reduced function allele so you should probably switch me to Prasugrel before PCI. I work in pharmacogenomics BTW but my physician daughter doesn’t believe me. Totally up to you though...” 🤣 #CardioTwitter

    Spotted in the #UChicagoCathLab reading room. I’m so happy we’re getting ahead of the next wave of equipment backorders and shortages. #CardioTwitter

    Pre #TAVR grenadoplasty (thx to a calcium spike on this bicuspid AoV, CT pix👇🏽). 22x40 Nucleus ruptured along full length of balloon - took some effort to pull it out of the eSheath. Not big fans of loud popping noises in the #UChicagoCathLab. #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter

    So I bid a fond farewell to my friend & colleague of 12 yrs, @HNayakEP who leaves @UChicagoMed today to lead as EP Director at UT San Antonio. Congrats, good luck & thank you for everything, Hemal! You always have a place to stay in Chicago, brother! #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter

    I bet there’s a couple of New England states smaller than this RCA distribution. (Vid used w/permission). #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #MedEd

    Welcome @manreetkanwar, to @UChicagoMed / @UChicagoCardio / @uchicagohvc! We’re excited to work with you as Director of Adv HF. I’m certain you’ll figure out the parking structure & our MC Escher-like stairwells a lot quicker than I did. 😉

    First Chicago implant of @Abiomed #Impella RP Flex: Severe RV shock in pt w/prior LVAD - remarkably flexible (as advertised), supportive (3.1-3.3L/min at P6) & conducive to rapid deployment with venous Perclose x 2 before & figure 8 stitch after. #CardioTwitter #UChicagoCathLab
