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. #TAVI #StructuralHeart #Cardiology #PIC

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! 👇 #TAVI #HeartTeam #100Cases

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 #TAVI #Cardiology #Pakistan #StructuralHeart

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. #HydraValve #TAVI #PIC #Cardiology – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

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

2025 ESC/EACTS Guidelines on Valvular Heart Disease! Earlier AVR in severe AS Stronger role for TEER & tricuspid repair LAA closure emphasized SAPT post-TAVI Clear shift towards earlier, safer & patient-centred care. #Cardiology #ValveDisease #ESC2025 – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

A patient brought this for me today. Love from my patients is my favourite part of this job- Makes every sleepless night worth it. – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

Alhumdulilah! #14on14 – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

Alhumdulilah! 🇵🇰 On Pakistan’s Independence Day, We at Peshawar Institute of Cardiology has set a new world record — performing 14 #TAVI procedures in a single day! 🏆 @GWR, history made in the heart of KP! 💚 #14on14 – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

“Stone whisper technique”: In CTO with ambiguous proximal cap and severe calcification, IVL enabled IVUS penetration and wire crossing A novel approach to crack calcium and clarify anatomy. ow.ly/BUjT50WoUYK #CTO #IVL #CalciumCracking #EuroIntervention #Cardiology – at Peshawar, Pakistan

AMAC technique (Anchor Mother→Advance Child) for uncrossable calcific CTOs published @EuroIntervention. Failed standard PCI attempts. Anchor guide catheter ("Mother") → advance device ("Child") through impenetrable lesions. A rescue strategy for uncrossability #PCI #CTO – at North-west Frontier, Pakistan

Coronary obstruction remains a rare but devastating TAVI complication—especially in valve-in-valve, low coronar height, or narrow sinus anatomies.

Peshawar Institute of Cardiology achieves Pakistan’s 1st Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) procedure! A game-changer for treating complex heart disease. Proud to pioneer this tech for our patients. 🇵🇰❤️ #Cardiology #IVL #HeartHealth #PakistanHealthcare #interventionalcardiology

We set a new national record with 7 TAVI procedures in 1 day,handling complex cases like a 90° horizontal aorta, chimney procedures,2 uncrossable valves requiring parallel balloon-assisted crossing. All patients recovered well.Thanks to proctors @aliraza987_raza @Mohamma22774282

A 58 years man, HTN, with angina CCS III Angio showed CTO of LAD Double Stick Approach was used. Crossed the lesion with Pilot 150. Contralateral injection confirmed wire in the true lumen. After predilation, 2 stents were placed, and 2 DEBs were used in the distal LAD.
