Challenges for TAVI in bicuspid

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: R. Singh Rao, A. Öner

Speakers: S. Papadaki, H. Colmenarez, J. Iwata, A. Alonso, A. Moroni, S. Tripi

Summary

This session addresses the unique challenges encountered during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with bicuspid aortic valves. It covers procedural nuances for type 0 bicuspid valves, risks associated with anomalous coronary anatomy, and complex anatomical considerations such as large annulus and tortuous aorta, culminating in effective TAVI strategies and novel approaches like the UNICORN technique.
