I don't think we need anything else to worry about, but we did have a good catch up with Jason and will do again before he gets home.Anita from RDHS is in again to let us know that face masks are now mandatory within RDHS and we're more than happy to live with that.Then we talk about taking some mental health leave and coming for a run with us this weekend.It's full!

It's Live Friday CME recaps. Jason Hicks here, and it's my pleasure to host this episode. Thanks for joining us on this lovely fall day. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Santiago Garcia, staff interventional cardiologist with Minneapolis Heart Institute. He is going to enlighten us on some of the particulars of percutaneous mitral valve repair. Most specifically, the Mitraclip, which is effectively the mitral clip procedure for the indication of mitral regurgitation. So pour a cup of coffee, and chill out on the porch; and get ready to take in some cutting edge cardiology here on Ridgeview Podcast CME Series with Dr. Santiago Garcia. CHAPTER 1: Alright all you stellar continuing educationalists. Yep, that's a real word. It's time to digest some of this excellent info. According to the study out of Mayo Clinic that Dr. Garcia discusses, the prevalence of mitral valve disease (MVD) is actually higher than aortic valve disease (AVD). Both increase with age. But by the age of 75, 1 in 10 will have MVD, and it is higher than AVD. About 4 million in the U.S. have mitral regurgitation (MR), and about half are eligible for therapy. However, there are a relatively small number that actually go on to get mitral valve surgical therapy, due to the fact that the guidelines are fairly stringent for this. Asymptomatic, severe mitral regurgitation, as well as patients with symptoms can benefit greatly by surgical therapy. Some definitions and quick discussion though, regarding mitral regurgitation. What is it? Mitral regurgitation is just that. Regurgitation through the mitral valve into the left atrium during systole. It results in a systolic murmur. Standard diagnosis is made by echocardiogram, usually transthoracic echo (TTE). This will tell us about the severity of the MR. Also, remember that many people are asymptomatic with this, even in the setting sometimes of severe MR. The guidelines for mitral valve open surgery are sort of complicated, but Dr. Garcia summarizes as follows: Primary, also known as degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and secondary MR. Primary (or DMR) deals with pathology of the leaflets. Leaflets are attached to the muscle of the heart. These patients in general have more tissue than what they actually need. Secondary MR is, most commonly, due to previous MI. The scar on the wall of the heart pulls on the valve and the leaflet are therefore pulled down. Functional MR is also a form of secondary MR and has to do with LV dysfunction and no actual valve structure abnormality. There tends to be a different treatment algorithm for each type of MR.  There is no class, one indication for surgery for secondary MR. A large randomized trial concluded there was no benefit in surgery in patients also undergoing CABG. With primary MR, surgery has a class 1 indication, as long as there are symptoms and a EF of at least 30%. In asymptomatic patients, repair is recommended if A-fib is present, pulmonary hypertension, and a very experienced surgeon. There are only a few such surgeons in the country. The likelihood of surgical success must be >95% in order to proceed with surgical correction. Mitral valve (MV) surgical repair is the overall standard of care. The most pathology site is the P2 scallops, with excessive tissue and a flail posterior leaflet, as mentioned by Dr. Garcia. A resection and then reapproximation of this tissue is performed. A valve ring is often placed as well. About 50% of patients who may qualify for percutaneous therapy. Coming up next, Dr. Garcia will go into the background and some of the intricacies of the MitraClip procedure. CHAPTER 2: The MitraClip device is the only commercial available device in the United States for primary or degenerative MR.  The guidelines give percutaneous therapy a class 2B indication. These are high risk patients, who typically have had previous sternotomy or are older than 80. FMR (functional mitral regurgitation), which is discussed and defined in Cardiology Review, 2010, by Schmitto et.al, "as a systolic retrograde flow from the left ventricle into the left atrium due to reduction and/or elimination of the normal systolic coaptation of the mitral valve leaflets." The valve structure is essentially normal, but the function of the valves during systole is not, and therefore results in regurgitation. FMR did not previously have an indication for surgery until the COAPT, which was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, resulted in FDA approval. This trial took over a decade to perform, and the results were impressive, but another trial would be needed to have a class 1 indication. EVEREST 2 was another trial that helped lead to approval of the device. So, how are mitral regurgitation patients approached in general? A TEE (transesophageal echocardiogram) is performed. There are separate criteria for FMR and DMR. These criteria were used in the clinical trial mentioned. However, some of these criteria are now obsolete, given there are other devices, for instance the XTr, that can now be used, and more of these patients could now potentially be treated with percutaneous therapy. In addition, if the mitral valve area is small, this therapy can lead to iatrogenic mitral valve stenosis. Is this useful for CHF patients? Well, in the COAPT and EVEREST 2 trials, patients needed to be on optimal medical therapy. If patients' MR improved significantly with medical therapy alone, then they would not be procedural candidates. If their MR was no better in the setting of optimal medical therapy, then they would be candidates for the procedure. How is this procedure done? First, venous access is obtained; then the left atrium is accessed from the right atrium. The left atrium in navigated. With the clip opened, the catheter/device enters the left ventricle, then grabs valve tissue. The clip is closed and then the device is deployed. Basically, the device truly clips together the leaflets of the mitral valve in order to close the gap that results in severe regurgitation. This is obviously very visual, so please check out the presentation slides to Dr. Garcia's presentation. The posterior, superior quadrant of the atrial septum is where the puncture will take place. This allows for maneuverability down toward the ventricle. This is all done under TEE guidance. Therefore it is done under general anesthesia. The clip is best situated in A2 P2 (the anterior and posterior 2nd scallops of the valve). There are long and short clip arm device options, and the size of the leaflets and their degree of retraction will dictate which device is used. The leaflets are basically clipped together, creating two orifices from the original one. A +2 mitral regurg indicates good success post-procedure. And the goal is also not to cause mitral stenosis. Left atrial pressure reduction is also a goal here; such as a reduction of 10mmHg, as mentioned by Dr. Garcia. Stay tuned for the next segment where Dr. Garcia discusses the COAPT trial, and some of the other studies that led to approval of this innovative procedure. CHAPTER 3: COAPT was the pivotal trial for patients with FMR for a mitral clip device. Again, this is a class 2B indication for the procedure. It was hypothesized that by impacting mitral regurgitation, we could decrease preload and CHF readmissions. It (COAPT) compared to 300 pts in each study are, one with medical therapy and one with medical therapy and the clip. There was almost a 50% reduction in admissions. The NNT (number needed to treat) to prevent one hospital admission was 3. In addition, a mortality reduction of 40% was seen, with an NNT of 6. Overall, to prevent 1 event, either heart failure admission or death, the NNT is 4. This is unprecedented in terms of a device trial. The COAPT showed a complication rate of

In our inaugural episode we talk with Jason Hicks, founder of Niyakko Rush Soccer Club, and Goshen Carmel, Filmmaker and Niyakko Alum. Niyakko Rush was started when Jason found a group of refugee children playing soccer in a dirt lot at their apartment complex. The kids didn't have proper grass or footwear, but the soccer would not be stopped. Conflict in their native countries brought them to Colorado but football brought these kids together.  Not speaking the same language or sharing the same culture, they found a common bond in soccer and they found a team with Jason Hicks.

Cask beer is demystified this week on Beer Sessions Radio! Jimmy Carbone and summer co-host Ben Keene are joined by Jason Hicks, chef at The Shakespeare and Jones Wood Foundry, Alex Hall of Cask Marque and Dave Lopez of Gun Hill Brewery. Tune in to hear what works and doesn’t when it comes to cask conditioned beer and what it takes to do it the right way! This program was brought to you by Union Beer Distributors. “The difference between having cask beer in a bar or not is the ability for it to turn over in 3-4 days.” [29:00] –Alex Hall on Beer Sessions Radio “If you find yourself at a beer that has cask on tap – ask questions, give it a try and learn something. There can be delicious results.” [44:00] –Jason Hicks on Beer Sessions Radio
