Beyond valves: expanding the structural toolbox

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Summary

This session expands the scope of structural heart interventions beyond valve therapies. It covers embolic protection in high-risk intracardiac procedures, outcomes of paravalvular leak closures, novel aortic root stent-graft research, cerebral ischemia predictors after TEVAR, and transcatheter ASD closure techniques.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Role of full-body embolic protection in high-risk left-sided intracardiac mass aspiration procedures
  • Medium-term outcomes and prognostic factors after transcatheter paravalvular leak closure
  • Incidence and predictors of silent cerebral ischemia following TEVAR
  • In-situ fenestration assisted TEVAR in patients with complex pathology involving the aortic arch
  • Comparison of transcatheter closure of ostium secondum atrial septal defect with multiple versus single device in 2,253 patients
