PARTNER 2 at 10 years: transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement in intermediate-risk aortic stenosis
22 Jun 2026
At 10 years, the second-generation SAPIEN XT was associated with lower survival and higher reintervention than surgery in the randomised PARTNER 2A trial, whereas the third-generation SAPIEN 3 matched surgery in a propensity-matched registry comparison. Two analyses, one lesson: long-term outcome is defined by the valve...

TAVI versus SAVR in aortic stenosis, is the debate still relevant in 2026?
02 Jun 2026
In this discussion, Helge Möllman and Eberhard Grube revisit the ongoing debate between TAVI and surgery in the treatment of aortic stenosis. While TAVI continues to expand into younger and more complex patient populations, they emphasise that the dialogue with cardiac surgery remains essential. They highlight the importance...
TAVI in extensive valve calcifications - LIVE case
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
