12/02/24 • 62 min
Join me on my podcast as I feature Dr. Jyothi Puthumana who is the Director of Interventional Echocardiography at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern Medical Center in Chicago, IL. He is also Professor of Medicine with the Feinberg School of Medicine. He discusses his unique journey from his early days growing up on a coffee plantation in Southern India to how he made it to his current position as Director of Interventional Echocardiography! He discusses in detail what is mitral regurgitation and explains the latest in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) which is a minimally invasive procedure that treats mitral valve regurgitation.
TEER approximates the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets by grasping them with a clipping device in an approach similar to a treatment developed in cardiac surgery called the Alfieri stich but is much less invasive.
