TAVI: alternative access - Part 2

18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025

This session addresses alternative access routes for TAVI in patients with challenging vascular anatomy. Topics include transapical valve-in-valve procedures complicated by severe aortic regurgitation, percutaneous TAVI via the brachiocephalic trunk, and strategies for managing hostile vascular anatomies. Solutions for scenarios where transfemoral TAVI is not feasible...

Challenging transcatheter mitral valve replacement

17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025

Explore the complexities of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with discussions on managing mitral annular calcification, preventing paravalvular leaks in mitral valve-in-ring procedures, strategies for larger valve deployment in large mitral rings, and the evolution of transseptal TMVR providing durable relief for previously untreatable cases.

Featured research - TAVI - Part 8

17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025

This featured research session reviews cutting-edge developments in TAVI, addressing challenges and outcomes in young patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, prognostic significance of concomitant valvular disease, and long-term results of prophylactic chimney stenting and prosthetic valve performance in bicuspid stenosis.

TAVI for pure aortic regurgitation: different animal, different challenges, different approaches

17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025

This session delves into the unique anatomical and pathophysiological challenges posed by pure aortic regurgitation and their impact on treatment strategies. It reviews clinical outcomes with established and new transcatheter devices, and presents emerging technologies that promise to advance therapeutic options for this distinct patient population.

Featured cases - Mitral valve-in-valve (Part 2)

26 Nov 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2024

Explore a diverse array of challenging mitral valve-in-valve cases in this session. Discover innovative techniques and strategies, including bailout for uncrossable atrial septum, balloon-assisted translocation of the anterior mitral leaflet, and managing mitral annular calcification. Gain insights into preventing complications like outflow tract obstruction and optimizing...
