Same-Day Discharge After Uncomplicated Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-In-Valve Implantation.

Background: Tricuspid valve-in-valve (TVIV) implantation has traditionally included post-procedure overnight in-hospital observation with next-day discharge. Recently, our practice has shifted toward same-day discharge for most patients after vascular access site hemostasis and adequate recovery from anesthesia. However, data on the safety of this approach remains scarce.

Radiation Exposure and Protection for (Assumed) Pregnant Interventional Cardiologists and Electrophysiologists.

Background: Concern about fetus radiation dose and assumed health effects remains a barrier for women considering a career in invasive cardiology. However, there is a lack of real-world fetus exposure data that can be used to support career decisions. The purpose of this work was to measure radiation exposure to invasive cardiologists which would contribute to dose to the fetus during pregnancy.
