TAVI in small annuli - Small anatomies, big challenges

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: S. Shirai, S. Ludwig

Summary

This session addresses the challenges of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with small aortic annuli. It features registry data comparing valve types, evaluates long-term outcomes, prosthesis-patient mismatch implications, and regional variations in clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • TAVI with intra-annular self-expanding or balloon-expandable valves in women: the NAVULTRA registry
  • Long-term outcomes after balloon- or self-expandable TAVI in small aortic annuli
  • Behaviour of the intra-annular self-expanding valve in patients with small annulus
  • Long-term impact of prosthesis patient mismatch after TAVI in patients with small aortic annuli
  • Relationship between a small aortic annulus and clinical and quality of life outcomes in TAVI
  • Contemporary comparison of TAVI outcomes between Asia and Europe: insights from the TOTO-TAVI study
