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...
Hotline - TAVI - Part 1
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This comprehensive session examines the latest evidence and clinical trial data on TAVI, including comparisons of balloon-expandable versus self-expanding valves in failed bioprostheses, techniques to reduce coronary obstruction risk, and real-world outcomes across diverse populations. Cost-effectiveness analyses and longitudinal studies further inform best practices for optimizing...
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...
