Summary
Biological, surgical valves and TAVIs are being implanted in younger and younger patients. Since these procedures must be planned in the best possible way to minimize future complications, and because the lifetime management of these patients must be thought of, watch this session to get very useful and interesting tips!
Learning Objectives
- To appreciate the long-term considerations that determine the mode of intervention in younger patients with aortic stenosis
- To understand the key peri-procedural elements of TAVI and SAVR procedures that will ensure the best possible long-term outcomes and valve durability
- To recognise the specific post-procedural complications of TAVI that affect long-term outcome and learn more about their avoidance and management
