Alhumdulilah! 🇵🇰 On Pakistan’s Independence Day, We at Peshawar Institute of Cardiology has set a new world record — performing 14 #TAVI procedures in a single day! 🏆
@GWR, history made in the heart of KP! 💚 #14on14

[Dr.Umar Ashfaq Khan 🇵🇰 @documar]

Trans Axillary TAVI performed at @PICMTI_OFFICIAL with my mentor @aliraza987_raza for a patient with unsuitable femoral access. Another high risk case turned into a new lease on life.

@DrAlsaiediAB @AlkashkariWail @rashaalbawardy @AlrahimiJ @bogamisa @MogneeA @DFahadAlmehmadi @ibrahimjelaidan @AtifAlqubbany @atifalzahrani Beautifully executed.
did you deploy Sentinel or any other embolic protection during the procedure?

🔹 Left native BASILICA for a patient with severe AS, low LM ostium height (6 mm) and shallow SOV
🔹 Left coronary re-access ✅

Successful Allegra TAVI valve deployment at @PICMTI_OFFICIAL, another important step forward for structural heart interventions in Pakistan.

Special thanks to @KasparasBriedis and @aliraza987_raza for their expert proctorship and support.

In all my years of practice, I have realised that if there is one core trait a doctor must have, it's empathy

Must-see #TAVR save:
Evolut FX+ embolized to ascending aorta. Snaring triggered extensive iatrogenic dissection of arch. Aortogram speaks for itself. Percutaneous bailout by vascular team with Gore thoracic stent graft (37×100).
Dissection detected 09:11. Case closed 10:00AM

[Arnav Kumar, MD, MSCR @arnavkumar]

Is even mild PVL no longer acceptable in #TAVR?
Our editorial on the #OCEAN-TAVI trial is now published in JACC: Interventions.

Historic day at Peshawar Institute of Cardiology! Today, we successfully performed Pakistan’s first Hydra Valve TAVI, marking a new chapter in structural heart interventions.
Proud moment for the team and cardiac care in Pakistan.

Directed Reverse CART is the perfect scenario to apply the OVERLAP VIEW #3Dwiring concept in #CTO. Point retrograde wire tip precisely at balloon with a single wire rotation! (3D reverse CART)

Role of preprocedural CT in assessment & management of access site complications in patient undergoing transfemoral TAVI

Preprocedural CT helps to assess :

Vessel Caliber
Vessel Tortuousity
Distribution of Ca
Optimal puncture site
Alternative Access

TAVI in patients with concomitant coronary artery disease...

Here is the available evidence from:

☆ ACTIVATION Trial

☆ NOTION 3 Trial

&

☆ FAITAVI Trial

My Best OCT Image! 🧶

This image is ‘one in a million’ - literally, because I looked at 100s of 1000s of imaging frames this week. 😂

This shows the final appearance of an LCX treated with scoring PTCA, NC 🎈, and DCB.

Analysis to follow…

[Dr.Umar Ashfaq Khan 🇵🇰 @documar]

NOBLE 10-year data at #TCT2025 confirm that IVUS-guided PCI achieves long-term mortality nearly identical to CABG,while angiography-only PCI lags behind. With lower TLR (5% vs 12%) and optimal stent expansion, IVUS defines the future of precision PCI.
