Why is TAVI a different procedure in patient with pure aortic regurgitation?
15 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
In this video, Juan Granada, Michael Borger and Joao Cavalcante highlight that aortic insufficiency differs from aortic stenosis and is often underestimated. Early, comprehensive evaluation and imaging are crucial. Surgery is standard for severe cases, while TAVI with dedicated devices is an option for high-risk patients.

The D-PACE scoring system Prediction of high-grade conduction disturbances after TAVI
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Michael Joner and Francesco Saia discuss the newly developed D-PACE Score, a tool designed to predict delayed AV block occurring more than 24 hours after TAVI—an unmet clinical need given that current risk models focus mainly on early events. The next steps aim to refine the...
PARTNER 3 — 7-year follow-up: what it means for low-risk patients
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Philippe Généreux and Philippe Pibarot discuss the long-term findings from PARTNER 3 and their practical implications for patient care.

Is iatrogenic atrial septum defect closure a necessary procedure?
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Philipp Lurz and Saibal Kar discuss iatrogenic atrial septal defects from transseptal procedures. Small ones usually close on their own, while large defects causing significant shunting need closure to prevent right heart overload. Some moderate defects may be beneficial by decompressing the left atrium, so closure...
