Zach Laksman from our UBC cardiology EP group joins the league of extraordinary Canadians being recognized in the top 40 Canadians under 40. Making Canada, Cardiovascular science and UBC proud. Top it off he is a nice guy and a great Dad.

The biggest congratulations to Dr. Jonathon Leipsic for being presented with the 2019 DeHaan Award for Innovation in Cardiology, as well as the #SCCT2019 Heart_SCCT Gold Medal Award! HLI at St Paul's UBC Radiology bit.ly/30CBEjL

Masterful discussion of #YesCCT evaluation for ViV #TAVR by Jonathan Weir-McCall at #SCCT2019 - consider valve type and 📏 VTC distance to assess risk of coronary obstruction Heart_SCCT FiRST - SCCT Jonathon Leipsic CHVI

Dr David Wood from #CHVI is a co-principal investigator on the COMPLETE trial which will be presented at #ESC2019

Great talk by Jonathon Leipsic at #ESCcongress2019 on CT for bioprosthetic heart valves CHVI UBC Radiology European Society of Cardiology

#TAVR #ViV Epic Supra #23, immediate post-SAVR MG 18, now 50 MG after many years. Predil with 18mm NC high-pressure, #ACURATEneo small, great result. No visible gradient in the lab, no PVL. Great paper Janar! eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/impact…

Yesterday I presented the results of my PhD to 140 patients and relatives who all participated in the study. Patient involvement at a new level for us. A great experience! The ‘Patient first’ - also in research #INVOLVEstudy OUH Odense Svendborg

New from #JACCINT! A study from CHVI in Vancouver offers insights into long-term durability of transcatheter heart valves. May be good news for younger patients. fal.cn/34adE #TCT2019 #ACCIC

Live case from #CHVI with Dr Webb and Dr Wood. Full house in the main arena. TCT Conference TCTMD Providence Health Care

Last week I received an official invitation to go back to St. Pauls hospital, Vancouver and join @SandraLauck and the team in CHVI again - as a part of my post doc plan. Really looking forward working closely with you again Sandra! #postdoc #researchvisit #heartvalves

If you are in Montreal join us for I2C summit. Great interventional cases from around the country. Canadian IC #CCCMTL

#Sapien3 #TAVR tested 1billion cycles=25y shows minimal failure equivalent to Magna Ease SAVR valve. Changing valve geometry no major impact. Thoughts on durability? Transferable to pts? Nice work Vancouver group. Patrick Myers Isaac George MD Tsuyoshi Kaneko interventions.onlinejacc.org/content/early/…

Great collaboration with 🇨🇦 #tavr operators. Work to do to improve access. CCS ICES @SandraLauck Dennis Ko Eric Cohen CorHealth Ontario - Ontario Health @CJC_JCC

Save the date! The annual I2C meeting will now become the CAIC-ACCI Summit. The inaugural meeting will be in Toronto April 17th and April 18th 2020. See you all there!

A big congrats to Jonathon Leipsic and John Webb on being named to the global highly cited researchers list! CHVI UBC Radiology HLI at St Paul's

Thank you to everyone that helped make this first report of a explanted Tiara transcatheter mitral valve possible Jonathon Leipsic HLI at St Paul's @Neovasc John Webb Michael Seidman UBC Pathology UBC Radiology CHVI
