When transfemoral is not an option: is TAVI still possible?

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: F. Castriota, A. Linke

Summary

This session explores alternative access strategies for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) when the transfemoral route is not feasible. It covers complex scenarios including transcaval TAVI complications, transaxillary approaches, management of extra-large annuli with peripheral artery disease, and innovative transcarotid valve-in-valve procedures.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • When transcaval TAVI takes an unexpected turn: diagnosis and management of a cruciform fistula
  • When transfemoral or transcaval TAVI is not possible, what else should be considered?
  • Challenging transaxillary TAVI with Octapro Plus
  • Extra large annulus and peripheral artery disease - how to proceed?
  • Pushing boundaries: transcarotid valve-in-valve in a small failed bioprosthesis
