✅ 1 PFO closure (#Amplatzer)
Huge appreciation to our cath lab and anaesthetic teams for their efficiency and seamless patient turnover.
What an amazing final structural day of 2024 #MacquarieUniversityHospital: 6 TAVIs (3 #Navitor & 3 #Sapien), 5 #Sentinel, & 2 PFO closures (#Amplatzer) — all completed from 8 AM to 4 PM.Huge thanks to amazing team for outstanding efforts and to the hospital executives for support
PCR Alfieri course #OspedaleSanRaffaele, and pleasure of meeting the legendary #OttavioAlfieri & #FrancescoMaisano. Inspiring to learn from their expertise in percutaneous treatment of mitral and tricuspid valves, visit beautiful Milan, Grateful for the invaluable experience!
79-year-old admitted with heart failure, severe MR due to a flail posterior mitral leaflet, has normal coronary arteries, and no other valvular diseases. Successfully treated using #Abbott#MitraClip XTW and XTR, trivial residual regurgitation and a mean gradient of 2 mmHg.
An incredible day of teamwork at #MacquarieUniversityHospital! 7:30 am start to just before 3 pm, 6 TAVIs - 4 #Navitor and 2 #Sapien, with 3 #Sentinel, and one valve-in-valve TAVI. Proud of the team’s dedication and excellence in delivering top-notch cardiac care!
90 yo severe AS, admitted for TAVI workup. Developed hypotension, pneumonia, and new severe LV systolic dysfunction, suggestive of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy LVEF ~25%, required vasopressors within hours, urgent TAVI #Navitor same day. Within 18 hours, no hemodynamic support.
An incredible week of structural interventions #MacquarieUniversityHospital! Last week, 3 TAVI, today 5 TAVI with a combined mitral TEER and LAA closure. 81-year-old LVEF 25%, severe functional MR, GI bleeding, AF. Started with #AbbottMitraClip NTW+NT, followed by #Abbott Amulet.
84-year-old severe AS, AF, high bleeding risk. TAVI with 29mm Navitor&LAAO with 25 mm Amulet in single procedure. 3 hours post-op, chest pain and hypotension. Imaging revealed late migration of THV above annulus, snared the migrated Navitor and deployed the second Navitor.
We've had an exciting fortnight at Macquarie University Hospital! 6 TAVIs—3 #Sapien and 3 #Navitor and 2 #MitraClip.
One interesting case, severe AS and a healed VSD. To minimise risk of rupture, we chose to implant a Navitor valve. fantastic result, no PVL / mean PG of 1 mmHg.
