Summary

This session explores the evolving landscape of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a focus on supra-annular valve technology. It covers techniques for achieving commissural alignment, considerations for small aortic annuli, and advantages in treating bicuspid aortic valve disease, supported by clinical data and illustrative cases.

Learning Objectives

To learn how to perform TAVI resulting in commissural alignment and easier coronary access
To learn about TAVI considerations when treating patients with a small aortic annulus - with a review of supporting clinical data
To learn about the advantages of TAV with supra-annular leaflet position when treating patients with a bicuspid aortic valve - with a review of supporting clinical data
