Moderators:

Summary
This session provides an in-depth review of contemporary management of aortic stenosis, covering diagnostic advancements, temporal trends, and treatment outcomes. It includes insights from the LAPLACE-TAVI registry focusing on low-risk patients, discusses the growing feasibility of day-case TAVI procedures, compares transcatheter and surgical valve replacements in bicuspid aortic stenosis, and examines predictors for post-dilatation necessity. The session also contrasts outcomes of self-expanding versus balloon-expandable valves in urgent TAVI settings.
