@Avila_MD Hey Alejandro! In small annuli bioprosthetic ViV, we tend to go for a supra-annular TAVI to optimize gradients

[Luís Leite @luispcleite]

Very challenging case! High complexity, valuable lessons and strong team effort 💪🏼

Another excellent meeting. Thank you for coming to share your cases. For next year there is more #UnicCHUC #CardioCHUC @luisvpaiva @JoanaDelgadoSi1 @Martins_JLC @BotelhoAna2 @Manuel_O_Santos @luispcleite @ElisabeteJorge3 @APIC_pt

Luís & team👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent XXXL case, perhaps slightly ventricular for such a BAV 🎯
We need a full range of devices when volume and experience allow
Myval OctaPro pushability surely helps 💪🏻

It was very difficult to cross the aortic valve with the prosthesis, even after a 26mm predilatation balloon. We only succeeded with a Lunderquist buddy-wire, but the final result was excellent!

An 92-year-old male with type 1 bicuspid aortic stenosis, severe calcification (calcium score 11,000!) and a VERY large annulus (848 mm² / 33 mm). The best solution was a Myval Octacor XL 32mm @marcocostacard @ElisabeteJorge3 #cardioCHUC #UNICchuc

First Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR) using #Evoque valve in Portugal @luisvpaiva @luispuga_cardio @Manuel_O_Santos @BotelhoAna2 @EdwardsLifesci #UnicCHUC #CardioCHUC #Apic

[Davide Capodanno @DFCapodanno]

How a crazy idea led to a clinical revolution.

"To all those who believe that we as cardiologists can make a difference in our commitment to ideas, TAVI stands as an example of what such an idea can produce."

Rest in peace, Professor Cribier.

What do you think will solve the problem?

77-year-old male with aortic stenosis with high surgical risk, unable to cross the aortic valve with an Evolut Pro+ 29mm due to heavy calcification in sinotubular junction @ElisabeteJorge3 @JoanaDelgadoSi1 @marcocostacard #UNICchuc #CardioCHUC

Another article published! A result of a collaboration with our Intensive Care Medicine Department 🚨

❌️ Routine early coronary angiography after OH-Cardia Arrest with NO ST-elevation does not result in better clinical outcomes!

87y woman with UA. Past history of Ao biological prosthesis in 2014 and ViV (sapiens 23mm) in 2022, with coronary protection (chimney technique- LM 5mm high).
Non-selective angiography was done... Suggested AngioCT and heart team discussion!#UnicCHUC #CardioCHUC

COMPLEX23 was great! Lots of discussion around complex cases and complications from all portuguese cathlabs! Pure learning and sharing among friends. By #UNICchuc @marcocostacard @VtorMatos3 @JoanaDelgadoSi1 @ElisabeteJorge3 @luisvpaiva @luispcleite @Martins_JLC @AnaVeraMarinho1

A 13 maio na Quinta das Lágrimas um encontro entre a Neurologia e a Cardiologia. Inscrições gratuitas. A prevenção cardioembolica e um tema que nos toca a todos. Inscrevam-se

[Manuel Santos @Manuel_O_Santos]

Checkout out our first case of electrosurgery in a complex setting: rescue lampoon after mitral ViR procedure. With @marcocostacard @luisvpaiva @BotelhoAna2 @luispuga_cardio @Martins_JLC @AnaVeraMarinho1 at #UnicCHUC #CardioCHUC and #3DCardioSolutions

[MC @marcocostacard]

First case of mitral TEER with Pascal Precision in Portugal. The hydrophilic coating, the additional fixation and the new clasps control system, allows more predictability, less compensation... and in the end, better results!#UnicCHUC @luisvpaiva @Manuel_O_Santos @BotelhoAna2

[Luis Paiva @luisvpaiva]

Another great session of coronary assessment with acetylcholine. A patient with long term symptoms and recurrent admissions for chest pain. Will likely improve with vasodilators and stopping chronic use of betablockers. Thanks to our great team @Manuel_O_Santos , @Martins_JLC
