Summary

Examine the clinical relevance of TAVI valve durability and its impact on long-term patient management in aortic stenosis. Review key factors influencing valve performance over time, with a focus on procedural and anatomical determinants of optimal outcomes.

Current concepts and techniques aimed at achieving ideal valve expansion are discussed in this session, alongside their implications for durability. A live case further illustrates the treatment of younger patients and those with bicuspid aortic valve disease, highlighting practical decision-making in complex anatomies and the importance of tailored lifetime management strategies.

The session also reflects on whether durability remains a limiting factor in contemporary TAVI practice and what challenges still need to be addressed.

Learning Objectives

To understand the clinical relevance of TAVI valve durability in patients with aortic stenosis and the key factors influencing long-terme valve performance
To explore current concepts, theories, and procedural approaches aimed at achieving optimal expansion of TAVI valves
To gain practical insights from an educational LIVE case on the safe treatment of young patients and patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease using TAVI
