TAVI updates: expanding indications
Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Abstract submissions
Summary
This session presents the latest updates and evidence on the expanding indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It covers topics such as the impact of unfavorable aortic valve anatomy on TAVI outcomes, sex-specific differences in cardiac damage in aortic stenosis patients undergoing TAVI, the use of the SAPIEN 3 Ultra valve with a focus on minimalist periprocedural practices and early discharge, TAVI in heart transplant recipients and left ventricular assist device carriers, and the use of intravascular lithotripsy and protection wire techniques to improve outcomes in TAVI patients with peripheral artery disease or at risk of coronary obstruction.
