Most TAVI plans are still made by someone other than the operator who implants the valve.
We're building QuanTAVI at Sphygma to change that: CT-based planning for aortic valve procedures, designed by the cardiologists and surgeons who run these cases.
From the CT to the cath lab:
→ Automatic aortic root measurements, each one reviewable on the images
→ Every valve compared side by side, with the reasons behind each size
→ Instant simulation of the deployed valve: coronary obstruction, root rupture and conduction risk, before the lab
→ Physics-based (FEA) prediction of how the frame will expand
→ Lifetime planning: choose today's valve so the next TAVR stays possible
→ TAVIAssist on the table: working views, valve overlay on fluoro, and the plan by voice
→ Expansion review after deployment: the frame traced on fluoro and rebuilt in 3D
TAVR, SAVR and valve-in-valve on one platform. Built by operators, for operators.
Research use only. Not FDA cleared for clinical diagnostic use.

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.

🔹 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.

Big day at @PICMTI_OFFICIAL!
We just hit our 100th TAVI procedure. A massive thank you to Dr. @aliraza987_raza and the entire team for their excellence. Proud to have been part of all 100 cases.
Check out the team celebrating the big 1-0-0! 👇

First ever deployment of Edwards Sapien TAVI valve in Pakistan at PIC Peshawar
Welcome @EdwardsLifesci to Pakistan
Proud to be part of this milestone for structural heart care
Grateful to proctors @HatimLawati @aliraza987_raza

In all my years of practice, I have realised that if there is one core trait a doctor must have, it's empathy – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

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

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

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…
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.
#IVUS #PCI #CABG #Cardiology – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan
Organized and presented the Monthly Grand Round at PIC–MTI on the FAME 3 (5-year), NOBLE (10-year), and SYNTAX (10-year) follow-ups highlighting how advances in physiology-guided PCI are narrowing the long-term outcome gap with CABG in complex coronary disease. – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan
The Deptt of Cardiology, @PICMTI, conducted its Monthly #Grand Round on “5-Year Outcome of the #FAME3Trial.”
Discussions focused on long-term results comparing FFR-guided PCI vs #CABG in multivessel #CAD, highlighting implications for patient care and clinical decision making.
