Management of uncommon TAVI complications
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the management of uncommon but critical complications arising from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Through detailed case studies from Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey, it highlights real-time decision-making strategies for life-threatening scenarios including left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, acute aortic dissection, and complex...
Rethinking coronary artery disease: from ischaemia to atheroma - Implications of the Lancet Commission for Interventional Cardiology
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session invites a re-evaluation of coronary artery disease by shifting focus from ischemia to atheroma, integrating insights from the Lancet Commission for Interventional Cardiology. It explores the significance of plaque burden, biology, and inflammation in guiding PCI decisions and outlines the future role of PCI...
Challenging TAVI access: exploring transfemoral boundaries and mastering alternative access
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session investigates the boundaries of transfemoral access for TAVI and strategies to safely extend its use. It also provides a comprehensive review of facilitated transfemoral TAVI techniques and explores alternative access options, offering critical insights for managing challenging TAVI cases.
TAV-in-TAV in SAV 3 valves procedures
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Examine the complexities of TAV-in-TAV procedures in degenerated surgical aortic valves (SAV) and TAVI valves. This session discusses cases involving massive aortic regurgitation, lifetime management challenges, and valve-in-valve-in-valve scenarios, providing practical insights into managing multiple valve interventions and associated complications.
TAV-in-TAV complications
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Focus on the complexities and challenges of TAV-in-TAV procedures in this session. Topics include planning valve-in-valve TAVI for aortic bioprosthetic valve regurgitation, managing anatomical challenges such as left ventricular outflow tract calcium and large annulus, and addressing severe bicuspid valve stenosis with impaired ventricular function. The...
Pushing TAVI boundaries: daily practice challenges
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Pushing the limits of TAVI is a challenge you face in your daily practice? See how some of your colleagues have tackled the same challenge through this series of cases. To mention a few: TAVR in patient with a large membranous ventricular- Chronic kidney disease and...
Tailored device choice and implant technique to optimise TAVI procedural outcomes
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Discover the key factors to consider in selecting the optimal valve and implant technique for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to achieve optimal procedural outcomes. Gain insights into the impact of device choice and implantation technique on coronary access following TAVI and learn valuable strategies for...
TAVI - Real world outcomes
18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
