TAVI in bicuspid anatomy
Summary
Discover the key insights from this PCR Tokyo Valves 2025 session focused on TAVI in bicuspid anatomy. Learn why TAVI for bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) shows comparable long-term outcomes to tricuspid AS in registry data, and understand the importance of patient selection, precise valve sizing, and prosthetic valve choice. This session also emphasizes the need for further research into long-term prognosis and prosthetic valve performance. Presentations cover TAVI in bicuspid aortic valves using both self-expanding and balloon-expanding valves, procedural planning, contemporary valve selection, sizing methods, and a comprehensive overview of current devices.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the latest evidence of TAVI in bicuspid patients
- To discuss the choice of prosthetic valve type in bicuspid aortic valve anatomy
- To learn some tips and tricks for TAVI in patients with bicuspid aortic valve
