Learning Objectives
- To understand the mechanisms and preventive strategies of major complications associated with TAVI, including cerebral infarction, haemolysis, valve infolding, permanent pacemaker implantation, and valve migration
- To learn from expert operators how major TAVI-related complications are recognised and managed, including practical decision-making and bailout strategies when such complications occur or are impending
