#ASD 3D #echofirst- landmark in LA view - can see Taurus (bulls head of aortic root butting itself into the roof of LA)
TEE 0 deg if you push in probe (inferior/south will see CS coronary sinus or pull up on probe- superior

Two different reasons for structural mitral regurgitation
1️⃣ Chordae tendineae rupture
2️⃣ Papillary muscle rupture
2️⃣ is a much more dramatic condition and is usually associated with myocardial infarction. Patient is often in shock.

Intraprocedural TEE guidance in 3 patients with aortic dissection (A or B) undergoing surgical/interventional repair.
When putting the guide wires it’s important to distinguish between false & true lumen.
