Navigating complexity: TAVI in challenging anatomies

22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Navigate the complexities of TAVI in challenging anatomies. This session reviews anatomical variations such as horizontal aorta, iliofemoral tortuosity, low coronary ostia, bicuspid valves, and annular eccentricity, alongside preprocedural imaging and risk stratification. It further evaluates device selection and procedural adaptations essential for successful TAVI in...
