Great day here at Escola Paulista de Medicina @unifesp where we have the opportunity to include one more patient in the randomized SURVIV trial led by our friend Dimitry Siqueira (TMVR vs. redo Surgery). In total > 120 cases included so far and counting.
Thanks to all the colleagues who made this project possible. Many thanks @EdwardsLifesci #tavr #tavi @MartyBLeon
Today we lost one of the giants in Medicine. Dr. Eduardo Sousa, a brilliant pioneer in the field of interventional cardiology. He led the world in innovative technologies, the 1st to perform procedures we now take for granted with drive,humility, and love for his pts RIP 🙏💔
O Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia, localizado no Ibirapuera, em São Paulo, é um hospital público (com orgulho) cuja história se confunde com a história da Cardiologia no Brasil.
Segue o fio pra saber um pouco mais dessas duas histórias.
It was Dinner time in the lab! A great touch up on MR between two previously placed clips with my partner @SpiesMd with an ADO2. This trick works well for this situation even acutely when a clip shifts on release and have MR between. #TMVR#ValveInCrazy#BASH
We did 3 TAVR this week during COVID 19 outbreak . At this moment our system is not collapsed ( 55% occupation in average) but may be will be collapsed in 2 weeks. We preferred to implant high risk patients now instead to wait 2 o 3 months. ( 1st sincope, 2nd 35% EF, 3rd 125 PG)
