We recently performed a challenging TAVR using Boston Scientific ACURATE neo2 valve in a patient with:
Key Challenges:
Left coronary artery take-off at just 7.6 mm
Horizontal aorta
Severe femoral calcification
To ensure safe access, we utilized peripheral Shockwave technology, which helped modify the calcified femoral tract. Despite the complexities, ACURATE neo2’s three size options,…
Recently, we supported a successful BTK (Below-The-Knee) procedure performed by Dr. Rita VÁRADI at University of Szeged. The imaging was performed by the Angiodroid CO2 angiography system, a cutting-edge technology designed for zero contrast visualization.
Angiodroid provides a safe and effective alternative to traditional iodinated contrast agents, especially for patients with renal impairments or allergies.…
We are proud to share the successful completion of the first-ever Bentley BeGraft Aortic case in Nyíregyháza! The procedure involved treating a subtotal occlusion of the abdominal aorta with the Bentley BeGraft Aortic balloon-expandable covered stent, with a spectacular result.
Kudos to the entire Team for their hard work and expertise, this is a fantastic…
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) treatment at University of Pécs with ultra-low profile Microport Endovastec Medical Minos EVAR system. Minos system broadens the scope for treating complex anatomies, with its 14 Fr main body and 12 Fr limb delivery systems, making EVAR procedures possible even in the most restricted ilio-femoral access points. Congratulations to Dr. Gábor…
