TAVI with advanced imaging techniques - LIVE case
18 Feb 2023 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2023
A 93-year-old female, with chronic kidney disease (GFR:34), diabetes, first degree AV block, present a symptomatic severe calcified aortic stenosis. Watch the operators as they implant an Evolut pro 26mm, guided by ICE in order to check the position of the distal part of the valve with...
Transcatheter repair for complex degenerative mitral regurgitation - LIVE case
18 Feb 2023 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2023
An 83-year-old female with chronic kidney disease, RBBB, has severe mitral regurgitation due to P2 prolapse and preserved LV function (69 %).
The operators decide to implant 1 XTW clip, guided by TEE and left atrial pressure.

Why durability matters: lifetime management considerations for supra-annular TAVR
26 Sep 2021 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2021
In this session, the speakers address the problem of the evolution of clinical data for TAVI from extreme to low risk based on a number of studies on the subject, such as CoreValve Pivotal Study, Partner Study, SURTAVI Study, or Evolut Low-Risk Study, and then focus...
Contemporary procedural practice for TAVI
25 Sep 2021 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2021
Watch this session to learn more about contemporary procedural practice for TAVI: discover the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TAVI programmes worldwide, the steps of contemporary transfemoral TAVI with tips and tricks, as well as the rules for early discharge post TAVI.
Planning for the Future: Lifetime Management Considerations for TAVI Patients
23 Sep 2021 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2021
By establishing a constant parallel between the situation in the United States and that in Japan, based on data collected daily, Jeffrey Popma and Shinichi Shirai provide current insights into the use of the soft expanding supra-annular evolution platform. In particular, they address the question of which patient...
