announced the successful completion of the first five implants of its next-generation Liberty® Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) system in Brazil in July, mark a significant advancement in accessible, innovative structural heart therapies for Brazilian patients.
The milestone implants were led by a distinguished team of Brazilian physicians: Dr. José Mariani Jr, Dr. Guy Prado, Dr. Pedro Nicz, Dr. Ricardo Ghetti, Dr. Edgard Quintella, Dr. Eduardo Pessoa de Melo, and Dr. Pedro Lemos
With Dr. Matías Sztejfman serving as the Lead Proctor, the cases demonstrated the system's exceptional clinical performance—including rapid postoperative recovery via minimally invasive approaches and successful management of complex anatomies—validating its precision and adaptability.
The procedures leveraged a strategic partnership between the technical teams of Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital (Einstein) and Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo in hemodynamic cardiology.
We would like to extend deepest appreciation to the Brazilian physician team for their exceptional skill and dedication and to the Lead Proctor Dr. Matías Sztejfman, for his indispensable expertise and commitment to knowledge transfer.
