TAVI - Take the first step considering life time management
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Understand the critical importance of lifetime management in TAVI, emphasizing how the initial procedure impacts long-term results. This session discusses implantation depth, commissural alignment, and their roles beyond coronary access, illustrated through a low-risk young patient case and current durability data.
Expanding horizons with balloon-expandable TAVI - LIVE Case
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Meril Life
A 76-year-old male with a history of abdominal and iliac stent grafts (2022), severe COPD, prostate cancer, and gastric ulcer presented with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. CT and echocardiography showed a calcified bicuspid aortic valve with preserved LV...
Precision in mitral TEER
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Join this live educational session from Bordeaux University Hospital to gain expert insights into mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Explore optimal timing and clinical decision-making for mitral regurgitation treatment, and discover how the PASCAL Precision system enhances procedural precision across diverse mitral anatomies. Witness real-time strategies,...
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...
Valve-in-valve and coronary protection
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore complex valve-in-valve procedures and coronary protection strategies through a series of challenging case presentations. Topics include management of high-risk valve-in-valve scenarios, strategies for degenerated aortic bioprostheses, innovative transcarotid approaches, fenestration stenting for late coronary obstruction, and analysis of valve embolisation events, providing valuable insights for...
Stroke prevention - featured cases
26 Nov 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2024
Dive into this session featuring selected clinical cases from PCR London Valves 2024, focusing on the use of various stroke prevention strategies during structural heart interventions. Explore techniques such as snaring-assisted TAVR under cerebral embolic protection, single-side access for cerebral embolic protection devices, and the integration...
Featured Cases - Congenital heart disease and younger patients
25 Nov 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2024
Delve into this featured session from PCR London Valves 2024, showcasing selected clinical cases focused on congenital heart disease and younger patients. Explore innovative approaches, such as TEER for common aortic valve in complex congenital heart disease, transcatheter double valve-in-valve replacement in right heart disease, and...
CTO complications
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Navigate through the world of complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions and explore the challenging complications that may arise in this session: encounter a rare case involving simultaneous septal rupture and donor vessel thrombosis during a retrograde CTO procedure, learn about the management strategies for distal...
CTO anterograde approach
28 Apr 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
This session aims at helping you choose the right equipment for successfull anterograde CTO crossing, how not to neglect active and passive supports in CTO, appreciate antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR), and more!
