The role of 3D transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous closure of paravalvular mitral regurgitation.
Christian Hamilton-Craig,T. Boga,David Platts,Darren L. Walters,Darryl J. Burstow,Gregory M. Scalia +5 more
TL;DR: There are data to suggest that closure of paravalvular mitral regurgitant leaks confers an improved prognosis, with reduced hemolysis and improved functional status, in patients with mitral valve replacement.

Dabigatran for Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation – Early Clinical Experience in a Hospital Population and Comparison to Trial Data
Jonathan Michel,Jonathan Michel,David Mundell,David Mundell,T. Boga,Alexander Sasse,Alexander Sasse +6 more
TL;DR: The study demonstrates a discontinuation rate of 10% due to side effects of dabigatran, similar to the rate reported in RE-LY, and the majority of patients are satisfied with their treatment and preferred dabig atran to warfarin, mainly due to the reduced requirement for blood testing.

Percutaneous ASD Closure in a Large Australian Series: Short- and Long-Term Outcomes
TL;DR: Device closure of secundum atrial septal defects in this large Australian cohort demonstrates a high procedural success rate with a low incidence of complications in the short and long term.

Contrast Echocardiography in Australian Clinical Practice
Christian Hamilton-Craig,T. Boga,Cathy West,N. Kelly,Russell Anscombe,Darryl J. Burstow,David Platts +6 more
TL;DR: The introduction of a second-generation contrast agent into clinical workflow in a hospital echocardiography department resulted in a statistically significant improvement in endocardial definition, and safely provided diagnostic imaging in cases which were otherwise non-diagnostic.

Direct visualization of septal perforator coronary arterial blood flow during perflutren microsphere contrast echocardiography.
TL;DR: A 62-year-old female with supraventricular tachycardia underwent a contrast echocardiogram to assess left ventricular structure and function to enhance coronary blood flow evaluation, and it may be beneficial in the identification of septal perforator arteries that should be injected with alcohol during percutaneous sePTal ablation for the management of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
