Spokesperson: J. Wykrzykowska

Summary

This session provides an in-depth exploration of haemodynamic performance and valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the differences between invasive and echocardiographic gradients post-TAVI, evaluate the haemodynamic profiles of various transcatheter valve platforms, and appreciate their implications on valve durability and clinical outcomes. The session includes illustrative cases highlighting prognostic values, insights into structural degeneration, and considerations for valve selection in patients with small aortic annuli.

Learning Objectives

  • To understand the discrepancy between invasive and echocardiographic gradients after TAVI
