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 💪🏻

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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
