Rapid-fire - Outcome studies after valvular intervention

18 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024

This session of rapid-fire submitted cases focuses on outcome studies after valvular intervention. Learn about clinical impacts of cerebral micro-bleeds in patients undergoing TAVI, explore the long-term outcomes of Venus P valve for dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract, and more!

Achieving the optimal outcome using the latest self-expandable TAVI - LIVE case

17 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024

An 86-year-old woman presented severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease with a preserved LV function. The operators performed a PCI of the RCA ostium one month ago. The CT showed a small femoral access (diameter: 5.3 to 4.9 mm). 
After a predilatation with a 20 mm...
