TAVI in patients with longer life expectancy: challenges and opportunities

Chairpersons: M. Gilard, L. Sondergaard
SHOW MORE

Summary

Consult this session to understand the treatment options for TAVI failures and to explore the challenges and opportunities of TAVI in patients with longer life expectancy, which remains a risky procedure, and also to understand the importance of a routine follow-up of the bioprosthetic valves to ensure the patient's long-term safety.

Learning Objectives

  • To understand that long life-expectancy does not necessarily mean low risk
  • To understand TAVI valve durability and the importance of routine follow-up of bioprosthetic valves
  • To understand treatment options for TAVI failure
