Treating chronic dissection aortic aneurysms is often the summit of complex aortic repair. We treated a 7 cm fast growing descending aortic aneurysm of the false lumen in a hybrid way: First, a redo open ascending total arch repair elephant trunk was done. A week later, we performed the Endovascular part in which we also had to close off a fenestration distal in the Coeliac Trunk (CT). we gained access to the false lumen through a small fenestration and closed off the false lumen in the CT with an Amplatzer plug. Next to it we stented the true lumen. The primary entry was closed by TEVAR. On completion angiogram complete thrombosis of the false lumen was noted. Great case by the Amazing Erasmus MC Aortic Team.

Thank you to Dr. Fabio Sandoli de Brito Jr. MD, PhD from InCor, São Paulo, Brazil for your excellent case presentation of "TAVI in a severely calcified patient using a novel full-body embolic protection device (Emboliner)" today at euroPCR 2024! This was a beautiful case in a challenging patient, demonstrating the ease of use, absence of device interaction, broad anatomical compatibility and comprehensive debris capture of the frameless Emboliner device on InCor's second roll-in case for the Emboline Protect the Head to Head FDA IDE clinical study [NCT05684146]. As shown in the presentation, the Emboliner consistently captures approximately 5x the clinically relevant debris (>150µm) compared to historical Sentinel IDE study data, which closely matches the theoretical expectation for debris capture based on heart output blood flow distribution, supporting the expectation for a true, full-body embolic protection device. #TAVI #TAVR #embolicprotection #stroke

Noninvasive Substrate and Activation Mapping for Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia: Are We There Yet? Savalan Babapoor, MD, and Chirag Barbhaiya, MD, present a case demonstrating the feasibility and potential usage of combined noninvasive substrate and activation mapping to facilitate catheter ablation of scar-related VT. https://okt.to/hZyxLF

Dual CTO: Increasing the armamentarium for successfull anterograde crossing   74 female, smoker, hyperlipidemic Increasing angina over last two months Coronary angiography: Double CTO proximal and mid left anterior descending Rest of vessels – mild disease PCI CTO left anterior descending with the use of Recross microcatheter for the purpose of parallel wire technique and dissection reentry if necessary Triple exit dual lumen microcatheter (recross) has special features: Guidewire redirection support to virtualy any direction Redirect the guidewire from the subintimal space to the true lumen Allows simultaneous subintimal decompression This increases the success rate of anterograde CTO crossing by improving the options in the “parallel wire” technique

Launching the #PFT (Periocular Fluid Technique) protocol, developed by Dr. Gabriel Siquier and Dr. Timur Taskesen, to fight periocular oedema and fat hypertrophy. Only 4 points of injection are needed to perform the protocol. Follow us to discover more about it. #cellbooster #periocularfluidtechnique #suisselle Suisselle

We assess if ultrasound surveillance of newly-created arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) can predict non-maturation sufficiently reliably to justify randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluation of ultrasound-directed salvage intervention. https://lnkd.in/gk-hEn3F
