TAVI in patients with heavily calcified aortic root

Anchorperson: K. Shimamura

Moderator: D. Mylotte

Summary

What role does TAVI play in patients' severely calcified roots? Study the use of balloon-expandable devices, assessing the impact of calcification on aortic root rupture, strategies for safe and effective procedures, and when to consider surgical AVR.

Learning Objectives

To learn how to manage highly calcified aortic valve or aortic root to achieve adequate results in TAVI
To learn the impact of calcium distribution amount to the clinical outcomes in TAVI
To discuss the indication of TAVI and surgical aortic valve replacement in highly calcified aortic valve

Presentations available when logged in:

Severely calcified aortic root TAVI
How can safe and effective TAVI be performed for highly calcified aortic root
For which case with severe calcification should we avoid TAVI and consider surgical AVR with decalcification?
