SURTAVI: five-year results from a randomized trial of TAVR vs. SAVR in patients at intermediate surgical risk
07 Nov 2021
Although TAVI is an accepted alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk, less is known about long-term comparative outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate surgical risk. P. Redaelli & M. Pighi review the SURTAVI trial...

ACTIVATION (percutAneous Coronary inTervention prIor to transcatheter aortic VAlve implantaTION): a randomized clinical trial
19 Oct 2021
In conducting the ACTIVATION trial, Redwood and colleagues seek to complement the existing literature with high-level evidence on whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to TAVR is non-inferior to conservative (no PCI) management.

PCR TV: Valve selection considerations for the Heart Team
11 Oct 2021
Which valve for which patient? The question is no longer just whether to choose a balloon-expandable or a self-expanding valve: low-risk indications, increasing number of TAVI procedures, and growing complexity of patients are leading the TAVI community to become more prescriptive and to take time to...

TAVI procedure optimisation with the cusp overlap technique
27 Sep 2021 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2021
In this session, the speakers present the advantages of the cusp overlap technique, providing a technical overview, and predicting that it will lead to best-in-class permanent pacemaker implantation rates, and will also have a great impact on paravalvular leak rates and other clinical endpoints. They further support their point by...
Addressing the challenges of small annuli patients with the Evolut Platform
27 Sep 2021 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2021
Recognizing that Asian patients, especially women with aortic stenosis, are smaller and have smaller annuli than European ones, for instance, this session discusses the challenges of treating these patients, among them prosthesis patient mismatch, annulus rupture, coronary occlusion, or vascular complication. In addition, the speakers will draw...
