A challenging valve-in-valve scenario in a patient with prior aortic coarctation repair

02 Feb 2026

This case features a 79-year-old patient with severe aortic stenosis and a degenerated surgical bioprosthesis, who previously underwent complex aortic surgery for coarctation.

Redo surgery was high-risk, so a transcatheter valve-in-valve procedure was chosen.

Explore the case to see how anatomy, prosthesis sizing, and vascular access options guide...

How to optimise outcome in valve-in-valve and valve-in-mitral annular calcification patients

12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

This session explores how to optimise outcomes in valve-in-valve and valve-in-mitral annular calcification procedures. Clinical evidence is combined with real case demonstrations, highlighting step-by-step approaches, practical strategies, and techniques to reduce risks such as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in high-risk patients.

TAVI - Take the first step considering life time management

12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

Understand the critical importance of lifetime management in TAVI, emphasizing how the initial procedure impacts long-term results. This session discusses implantation depth, commissural alignment, and their roles beyond coronary access, illustrated through a low-risk young patient case and current durability data.

Management of aortic stenosis: what really matters before and after the procedure

11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

Aortic stenosis management is a lifetime strategy, not a one-time procedure. This session covers key decision-making factors, compares surgical and transcatheter options, and provides guidance on post-procedural care. Learn to individualise treatment based on age, anatomy, and risk, and plan interventions with the patient’s long-term trajectory...
