#ASE2017
In June 2017 we will convene the 28th Annual American Society of Echocardiography
Scientific Sessions in Baltimore, Maryland to once again recognize and celebrate this cycle
of Investigation-Innovation-Incorporation. From the basics of clinical imaging to the most
sophisticated advances in microbubble gene delivery to the determination of its best use in
value-driven healthcare, we aim to present how echocardiography is best utilized today, and
what’s in store for tomorrow.
On behalf of this year’s Program Committee, we would like to highlight several features of
this year’s upcoming sessions:
ASE 2017 Program Chair
Geoffrey A. Rose, MD, FASE
Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute
Charlotte, North Carolina

Elizabeth McIlwain, MHS, RCS, FASE
West Jefferson Medical Center/
LCMC Health
New Orleans, Louisiana

We will offer a hands-on session teaching point of care use of ultrasound
(POCUS) in the critical care setting. We will ‘flip the classroom’ by having
critical care faculty who are POCUS experts instruct sonographers and
echocardiographers on this extended clinical use of echo.

Taking advantage of our meeting location in Baltimore, headquarters of the
Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), we will offer an Accreditation
Boot Camp. The IAC staff will be on-site, in full force, on Friday, June 2nd
to educate and assist you in completing your accreditation applications.

Our individual educational sessions are each organized to provide background,
current use, and a glimpse of the future state of echo in patient care. As
such, we have Embedded Abstracts within the framework of many individual
educational sessions, bringing forward the best of the latest science.

Structural Heart Disease and Cardio-Oncology, two rapidly emerging disciplines,
will be emphasized with designed ‘mini-courses’ within the general sessions.

Given the unprecedented changes ongoing in U.S. healthcare, we will further
capitalize on our proximity to the D.C. area by holding a Value Summit on
Monday, June 5th. In addition to educating our membership, this 3-hour session
will be targeted (and offered free of charge) to your hospital administrators and
service line leaders.

On Tuesday, June 6th, ASE will also be sponsoring a Hill Day to bring our
legislative needs to the government. See page 11 for more information.
There’s so much more. Chalk Talks, Science & Technology Theaters, and the 2nd
Echovation Challenge will highlight echocardiography from its most foundational concepts
to its most cutting-edge applications and leading-edge technologies. The ASE Foundation’s
8th Annual Research Awards Gala on Saturday evening June 3rd will celebrate individual
and ASE achievements.
Please join us at ASE 2017 at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in June! Plan to bring your family
to enjoy the National Aquarium and the array of offerings of this vibrant area. Be with your
colleagues and peers as we educate, demonstrate, and celebrate all that echocardiography
has to offer in the care we provide to our patients every day.

the mitral valve and the pulmonary veins are baffled to the tricuspid
valve, was the first operative procedure for TGA that resulted in
acceptable operative and midterm survival.11-13 Although the AtrSO
achieved widespread success from the mid-1960’s through the early1980’s, the search continued for a more ‘‘physiologic’’ procedure
because of the known long-term complications such as right ventricular
(RV) dysfunction and significant tricuspid regurgitation (in a ventricle
potentially unsuited for a lifetime as the systemic pumping chamber), arrhythmias, and a small but important prevalence of obstruction of the
systemic and/or pulmonary venous pathways.14-17
In 1975, Jatene et al.18 performed the first successful ASO.
Although not a true anatomical ‘‘correction,’’ this landmark operation
effectively achieved circulation in series with the morphologic left
ventricle acting as the systemic pumping chamber. During the ASO,
the great arteries are transected and ‘‘switched’’ to the other semilunar
valve, and the CAs are translocated to the ‘‘neoaorta’’ (Video 2; available at www.onlinejase.com). The LeCompte maneuver19 is also performed during the operation to avoid distortion of the branch
pulmonary arteries in the process of switching the great vessels. The
LeCompte maneuver relocates the aorta posterior to the pulmonary
artery such that both branch pulmonary arteries drape anteriorly to
the aorta (Figure 2, Video 2; available at www.onlinejase.com).

strategies are required for repair because a successful ASO requires

ASE HILL DAY
Please plan now to join us for ASE Hill Day in Washington,
D.C. on Tuesday, June 6th. On the last day of the Scientific
Sessions the ASE Advocacy team is organizing an opportunity
for you to meet with your elected officials to advocate for your
patients and to make sure the voice of the cardiovascular
ultrasound community is heard. This is important to ensure
that you can continue to provide quality care in this everchanging healthcare environment. Whether you have
participated in previous Capitol Hill visits or you are a first time
participant, ASE’s advocacy team will make sure you are fully
prepared and schedule exclusive meetings with congressional
representatives. You can register for this event at the same
time you complete your Scientific Sessions registration. This
event is limited to 15 people, so if you are interested, please
register early.

The exchange of information and access to new concepts,
technology, devices, and research is a vital component of
professional development. Get face-to-face with the industry’s
leading developers and executives who can help you discover
what’s new, assist you in making the right choices for your
institution, and show you ways to reduce costs and improve
productivity. The Exhibit & Poster Hall will open with the
President’s Reception on Saturday afternoon, which is always
a highly anticipated event where you can see new products
launched. On Sunday and Monday, join luminary faculty during
the session breaks on the exhibit floor for intimate Q&A
sessions in Chalk Talks.
Research is the heart of every Scientific Sessions. ASE
showcases investigators from around the world presenting
cutting-edge research on the latest advances in cardiovascular
ultrasound on Sunday and Monday in the Exhibit & Poster Hall.
Spend time in the poster area and gain firsthand knowledge
and insight from scientific investigators.
The Science & Technology Theater will be located in the
Exhibit & Poster Hall. These events are packed with interested
professionals eager to learn the latest information on
advances in technology and practice. Meals are provided by
ASE and are included in your registration fee, but space and
meals are on a first come, first served basis.
These industry-supported sessions are independently planned
and are not a part of the official ASE 28th Annual Scientific
Sessions as planned by the Program Committee or in any way
directly endorsed or affiliated with ASE. These sessions are not
included in the ASE approved CME credit.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION
The ASE 2017 Scientific Sessions are taking place in the heart of Baltimore, the Inner
Harbor. This area, which was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants
to the United States, is full of unique shops, amazing restaurants, and numerous
museums. Baltimore, known as the “Charm City,” is home to world renowned Johns
Hopkins Hospital and University as well as the University of Maryland School of
Medicine. History buffs will enjoy exploring Fort McHenry, which during the War of
1812 repelled the British, saved the city, and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the
U.S. National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. The fort’s sprawling, waterfront
lawns also provide a great way to see the skyline of Baltimore. Baseball fans will be
happy to know that the Baltimore Orioles are playing the Boston Red Sox, at Camden
Yards, the weekend of the Scientific Sessions. Baltimore is also nationally recognized
as a must-visit destination for food lovers. Known for crabs and fresh seafood, the
cuisine is now as diverse as ever. Visit Baltimore.org to plan your trip.
