The importance of PPM in younger patients in TAVI valve choice
08 Dec 2025
Kristoffer Russell discusses prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM), which can increase mortality, heart failure hospitalisations, and reduce functional recovery, especially in younger patients. While less common after TAVI than surgical valve replacement, studies show up to 30% of younger, low-risk TAVI patients still experience moderate or severe PPM,...
How are the 2025 ESC EACTS valvular guidelines going to impact my TAVI programme?
17 Dec 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Bernard Prendergast and Fabien Praz discuss updates from the new ESC/EACTS guidelines on aortic stenosis. Key changes include expanding TAVI to patients aged 70 and older, supporting early intervention in asymptomatic patients, and providing guidance for bicuspid aortic valves. These updates emphasise shared decision-making, careful patient...
New roads begin where old ones end: a TAVI case
12 Jan 2026
An 85-year-old woman presents with exertional dyspnea and angina, alongside severe paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis, marked mitral and tricuspid valve disease, and two-vessel coronary artery disease. Frailty markers and hostile pelvic anatomy further complicate her profile.
