Complication management after tricuspid valve interventions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews complication management following tricuspid valve interventions, highlighting practical approaches to unexpected procedural events. Topics include management of TricValve pop-up complications, Evoque device challenges, acute leaflet thrombosis emergencies, and bailout strategies for single leaflet detachment in tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
TAVI in aortic regurgitation
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses the challenges and innovations in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic regurgitation. It covers complex clinical scenarios such as severe regurgitation post-endocarditis, alternative access routes complicated by prosthesis embolisation, and the use of dedicated TAVI devices in non-tricuspid valves. The session also...
Mitral challenges: from paravalvular leaks to valve-in-valve
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore complex mitral valve challenges including paravalvular leaks, valve-in-valve implantation, and comprehensive percutaneous cardiac reconstructions. This session highlights innovative percutaneous solutions for surgical no-go zones, haemolytic leaks, and multi-territory device therapies to improve patient outcomes.
Structural heart: demanding anatomies, difficult situations and unusual strategies
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Navigate complex structural heart interventions through this session focusing on challenging anatomies and innovative procedural strategies. Topics include orthotopic tricuspid valve replacement amidst anatomical and physiological complexities, percutaneous closure of Valsalva sinus fistula, extreme TAVI approaches for pure aortic regurgitation, management of mitral paravalvular leaks with...
Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement - Where are we in Latin America?
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Stay abreast of the latest advances in transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) across Latin America. This session highlights orthotopic implant technologies, patient selection criteria, early clinical outcomes, and discusses future perspectives including training, technology access, and regional clinical impact.
TAVI in challenging scenarios, diving into real-life cases
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Navigate the complexities of challenging TAVI cases through real-life clinical scenarios. This session offers valuable insights into managing complications such as aortic regurgitation, bicuspid valves, valve-in-valve procedures, coronary obstruction, and large annulus with left ventricular outflow tract calcification. Participants will gain practical tips and tricks to...
Minimalist approach to tricuspid valve therapy
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session highlights the minimalist approach to tricuspid valve therapy with TricValve implantation, a contrast-free, minimally invasive procedure guided by transthoracic echo and minimal fluoroscopy. Clinical evidence shows reduced hospitalisations, improved quality of life, and encouraging mid-term outcomes, including smaller right heart chamber dimensions and reduced...
