The impact of paravalvular leak, permanent pacemaker implantation and the planning for reinterventions on lifetime management in TAVI patients
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
How do paravalvular leak, pacemaker implantation and reintervention planning shape lifetime outcomes in TAVI patients?
This session examines these crucial aspects through the case of a 77-year-old male with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, HFpEF and multiple comorbidities, including diabetes, obesity and sleep apnoea.
Follow the discussion to understand...
TAV-in-SAV for surgical bioprosthetic valve failure
26 Nov 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2024
Dive into the intricacies of TAV-in-SAV procedures for failed surgical bioprosthetic valves. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the key information needed to evaluate a failed surgical bioprosthesis before considering a valve-in-valve intervention. Learn strategies to avoid high gradients and patient-prosthesis mismatch, and explore the clinical relevance...
