TAVI: LIVE Educational Case from Cleveland Clinic - London, UK
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This educational session from the Cleveland Clinic focuses on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with significant landing zone calcification. It presents a detailed operator strategy and live case demonstrating the optimal use of a third generation intra-annular self-expanding valve, alongside approaches to coronary artery...
Spotlight - TAVI durability: contemporary evidence and future directions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on TAVI durability, this session reviews recent clinical evidence from randomized trials and large registries, examining procedural and device-related factors influencing long-term valve performance. It also discusses challenges in follow-up and implications for future trial designs and device monitoring.
Adopting a step-by-step approach for successful redo TAVI
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session outlines a systematic step-by-step approach for redo TAVI procedures, including detailed pre-procedural CT analysis. It addresses challenges associated with failing short and tall-frame valves, and discusses coronary protection and leaflet modification techniques critical for successful reinterventions.
Lessons learned to pave the way for future-proof strategies in TAVI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session focuses on how current experience in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be translated into more durable strategies for the future, particularly in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease.
It provides a comprehensive overview of anatomical, clinical, and procedural considerations in this challenging...
Insight from recent evidence in structural heart disease: indications for LAA closure (CHAMPION) and PCI in TAVI candidates (PRO-TAVI)
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews recent evidence impacting the management of structural heart disease, focusing on left atrial appendage (LAA) closure indications and PCI considerations in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates. It discusses optimal strategies for coronary artery disease in TAVI patients and evaluates findings from the...
Redo TAVI - How to treat different TAVI platforms when they fail
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Understand the complexities of redo TAVI procedures with emphasis on planning, valve platform characteristics, and tailored procedural strategies. This session features cases of redo TAVI for failed short-frame and tall-frame valves, alongside discussions on current evidence gaps guiding optimal management.
TAVI for bioprosthetic valve failure - LIVE Case
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
A 68-year-old male patient with a history of Sapien 3 26 mm TAVI (2021), complicated by the need for two valves (one displaced in the descending aorta) and permanent pacemaker implantation, as well as endocarditis (2022), presented with symptomatic bioprosthesis failure and reduced LV function (20...
Clinical implications of TAVI and cerebral embolic protection - Current challenges and future considerations
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) remains a key consideration in modern TAVI procedures, as stroke continues to be one of the most serious complications. This EuroPCR 2025 session takes a close look at the latest data on CEP use in clinical practice, weighing where it fits best...
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...
Challenges and solutions in an expanding TAVI world
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This EuroPCR 2025 session addresses key challenges and emerging solutions in today’s rapidly evolving TAVI landscape. It presents the latest evidence on valve replacement in low-risk patients with aortic stenosis, alongside strategies for navigating the complexities of lifetime management in TAVI candidates. The programme features a...
