Redo TAVI
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session focuses on the challenges and strategies of redo TAVI, from careful planning to valve selection and tailored procedural approaches. Learn how to manage different valve platforms, optimise outcomes in valve-in-valve scenarios, and prevent complications such as coronary obstruction through real case discussions.
Early outcomes and predictors of success in LATAM TAVI experiences
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore early outcomes and predictors of success from Latin America's evolving experience with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). This session covers innovative approaches such as transfemoral access intravascular lithotripsy compared to angioplasty, conduction disturbances with self-expandable TAVI devices, and insights from regional centers treating severe aortic...

Aortic stenosis doesn't play alone: TAVI in multivalvular and coronary artery disease patients
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Managing aortic stenosis becomes even more challenging when it coexists with coronary artery disease (CAD) or multivalvular pathology. For patients with CAD, careful assessment of symptoms, lesion severity, and anatomy guides whether PCI is best performed before, during, or after TAVI, always with future coronary access...
Management of hostile access for TAVI
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Access challenges are among the most critical hurdles in TAVI procedures. This session explores how to identify difficult access routes using pre-procedural CT, and demonstrates practical techniques to safely overcome these obstacles. Through real-life case presentations—including challenging femoral access with a shockwave balloon, carotid access, and...
