Taking on the tough stuff: TAVI in complex anatomies
Anchorperson:
P. Maccarthy
Spokesperson:
H. Eltchaninoff
Summary
Focused on the challenges of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in complex anatomies, this session addresses optimal strategies for treating bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, managing small annuli and low coronary ostia, and approaches to degenerated surgical valves including bioprosthetic fracture techniques. Case-based discussions elucidate practical solutions to these demanding scenarios.
Learning Objectives
- To learn the optimum approach to challenging bicuspid aortic valve stenosis
- To understand the key problems and solutions when treating small annuli, low coronary ostia
- To learn the best treatment strategy for degenerated surgical valves, including the role of fracture
