TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation)

Lars Søndergaard, Won-Keun Kim, and Christophe Saint Etienne came together for EuroPCR 2022 to share their experience of implanters achieving single-digit permanent pacemaker implantation: learn about the latest technique and new product features to reduce permanent pacemaker implantation.

Thanks to this interview between Enrique Gutierrez Ibanez and Nicolas Meneveau shot for EuroPCR 2022, be aware of the clinical evidence and the studies currently ongoing for the “coronary artery disease and aortic stenosis” clinical setting, learn more about the current approach to diagnose and treat...

Watch this presentation by Thomas Modine for EuroPCR 2022 to hear about the multimodality approach to optimise TAVI procedure and its impact on post-operative course, to get an update on how minimalist TAVI can be performed successfully in most patients without conversion to general anaesthesia, and...

Watch this discussion between Christopher Meduri and Vinayak Bapat to understand the features of the DurAVR THV, a transcatheter aortic valve designed to last longer and work better for lifetime management of aortic stenosis patients due to its unique leaflet design that shows clear haemodynamic advantages...

Watch this presentation of the CHOICE CLOSURE trial proposed by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab for EuroPCR 2022 to understand the benefits of suture-based strategy in terms of access-site or access-related major and minor vascular complications, to compare suture-based to plug-based closure in large-bore arterial access, and to analyze...

As there has been no systematic comparison of transcaval and transaxillary access so far, the present study aimed to compare these two approaches with each other, as well as with transfemoral access.

Techniques to manage simultaneously severe calcified aortic stenosis and severe heavily calcified ostial RCA disease combining TAVI and ROTABLATION.

Thanks to this Image in Interventional Cardiology, view an emergency TAVI-in-TAVI for cardiogenic shock secondary to acute valve degeneration complicated by left main stem obstruction treated successfully by chimney stenting.

Pierre Deharo and Giuseppe Di Gioia provide their take on this analysis of the 5 years incidence, outcomes and predictors of hemodynamic SVD in patients undergoing TAVI and surgery from the Corevalve US Pivotal and SURTAVI trials.

This Image in Interventional Cardiology highlights how patient-specific ex vivo simulations offer physicians the opportunity to observe and evaluate the potential in vivo impact of different techniques particularly for complex structural heart interventions.

Francesco Costa analyses the results of ADAPT-TAVR, a prospective randomized trial on edoxaban vs dual antiplatelet therapy for valve thrombosis and cerebral thromboembolism after transcatheter aortic-valve replacement.

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2022 Scientific Sessions #ACC22.

A 70-year-old male patient was referred to hospital with signs of acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography confirmed impaired left ventricular function and severe low flow, low gradient aortic valve stenosis. Would you go for surgical aortic valve replacement or transfemoral TAVI?

Conduction disturbances remain the most common complications of TAVI and its main drawback compared to surgery. How would you treat this 82-year-old man, height 1.68 m, weight 112 kg, with peripheral artery disease, who presented with severe aortic stenosis and symptoms of NYHA Class 3 breathlessness?

The cusp-overlay method aims to implant the self-expandable device higher than in former ways without device pop-out upon release and it reduces pacemaker rates significantly.
