Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Ross Procedure: Modern Techniques, Durability, & Lifetime Valve Management with Dr. Malaisrie and Dr. Pop
Q: How many centers have as active a program as yours?
There may be about 10 to 20 centers in the country performing as much as we do, with volumes around 30 Rosses per year.
The Ross Procedure: Modern Techniques, Durability, & Lifetime Valve Management with Dr. Malaisrie and Dr. Pop
Q: How many ROS cases have you done so far?
We've done over 100 ROS cases here, with resurgence due to safer techniques and better perioperative management.
DEFINE GPS Trial: Physiologic PCI Guidance, Co-Registration, & Surprising Case Lessons
Q: So tell us sort of how that coverage works, because I don't have this. What does the co-registration process look like in a typical case?
The co-registration process starts with placing a pressure wire attempting an initial physiologic assessment, then you pull back under continuous fluoroscopy, pause to capture an angiogram, and use the fill-up system to co-register the ischemic units to the vessel anatomy. This allows you to visualize exactly where ischemia is coming from in relation to the anatomy, guiding targeted intervention.
Conscious Sedation LAAO with ICE: Building a Solo-Operator WATCHMAN Program with Dr. Gollapudi
Q: What are the key steps you follow when performing LAO as a solo operator?
Start with transeptal access, drive the sheath across, bring in the ice catheter, obtain a single excellent image of the left atrial appendage, then rely on CT measurements and fluoroscopy to size and position the device while coordinating with reps.
Conscious Sedation LAAO with ICE: Building a Solo-Operator WATCHMAN Program with Dr. Gollapudi
Q: How long did it take Raghu to get comfortable starting a conscious sedation LAO program?
It took about twenty cases to establish comfort with a dual approach, practicing both TE-assisted and ICE-only methods, and gradually shifting toward conscious sedation with a plan that allowed the operator to drive the case rather than rely on a TE doc.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Murmur Pod

What is The Murmur Pod about and what kind of topics does it cover?

The show features in-depth, case-rich discussions led by two interventional cardiologists who regularly dissect high-stakes coronary and peripheral interventions, device choices, and evolving technologies. Episodes frequently center on complex PCI strategies, imaging-guided decisions, and real-world outcomes with a emphasis on procedural tips, risk assessment, and patient-centered consent. A distinctive angle is the frequent inclusion of device-focused conversations (DCBs, IVL, LAAC, TAVR-related topics) and multi-venue case walk-throughs, often framed around high-risk or high-complexity scenarios. The format tends to blend technical detail with practical execution guidance, making it valuable for practitioners seeking actionable ideas, as ... more
