Summary
This session presents cutting-edge research on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), focusing on comparative outcomes between Myval and Evolut valves in large aortic annuli, the role of balloon post-dilation in self- and balloon-expandable valves, and novel valve-in-mechanical valve replacement approaches. Long-term follow-up data contrasting surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and TAVI in patients under 70 years are also examined, alongside interventions addressing mixed Sievers type 1 bicuspid aortic valve disease.
