Early outcomes and predictors of success in LATAM TAVI experiences
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore early outcomes and predictors of success from Latin America's evolving experience with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). This session covers innovative approaches such as transfemoral access intravascular lithotripsy compared to angioplasty, conduction disturbances with self-expandable TAVI devices, and insights from regional centers treating severe aortic...
Extreme TAVI: bicuspid valves, emergency TAVI, dissections and more
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore extreme and complex TAVI cases that push procedural limits, including urgent interventions, bicuspid valve sizing, valve-in-valve strategies, and rare complications such as type A dissection and late coronary occlusion. This session shares valuable clinical experiences and lessons from challenging scenarios.
Management of hostile access for TAVI
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Access challenges are among the most critical hurdles in TAVI procedures. This session explores how to identify difficult access routes using pre-procedural CT, and demonstrates practical techniques to safely overcome these obstacles. Through real-life case presentations—including challenging femoral access with a shockwave balloon, carotid access, and...
