Challenging transcatheter interventions for mitral stenosis and mitral annular calcification
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges of transcatheter interventions in severe mitral stenosis and mitral annular calcification. It highlights therapeutic innovations such as treating mitral stenosis with annular calcification, valve-in-MAC procedures, use of extra-large Myval valves, transatrial ViMAC approaches, and combined multivalve interventions in rheumatic heart disease.
Beyond the horizon - Future of structural heart innovations and PCI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Structural heart and coronary interventions are expanding rapidly, with innovation increasingly focused on managing complex anatomies and diversifying treatment strategies.
The PRISM-PCI toolkit is introduced as a framework to support decision-making in complex PCI, alongside advances in transcatheter valve therapies spanning mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary interventions, as...
Registries and trials in TMVR
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session provides an in-depth review of registries and clinical trials focused on transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). It presents data on annular and ventricular remodeling with the HighLife system, mid- to long-term valve performance, and innovations in transseptal TMVR using novel bioprostheses.
TAVI in patients with concomitant valve and coronary artery disease
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Focused on patients with concomitant valve and coronary artery disease, this session examines evaluation strategies for aortic stenosis burden, integrates recent trial data on combined TAVI and PCI, and discusses optimal management approaches in complex multi-valve disease scenarios through detailed case presentations and clinical outcomes.
Early Career Research Award Final
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Highlighting pioneering research in structural heart interventions, this session presents studies on the impact of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) on left ventricular geometry and function, myocardial remodeling in aortic stenosis, physiological responses after mitral and tricuspid edge-to-edge repairs, advancing the understanding of device effects on...
Hot topics in structural heart: addressing patients' unmet needs with EVOQUE TTVR and SAPIEN THV-in-THV
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses emerging topics in structural heart disease by examining patient-centered solutions such as EVOQUE transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) and SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve-in-heart valve (THV-in-THV) procedures. It covers the latest data from Europe on redo TAVI, lifetime management strategies beginning with initial prosthesis...
Hotline - Mitral and tricuspid valvular interventions
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session delves into innovative mitral and tricuspid valvular interventions, highlighting outcomes with the PASCAL precision system and advances in combined MitraClip and TriClip repairs. It discusses predictors of heart failure hospitalization post-transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR), coronary CT-based pacemaker implantation prediction, and novel devices aimed...
