How do we meet the needs of women with heart valve disease?
27 Mar 2026 – From PCR London Valves 2025
In this interview, Ellen Ross and Marta Sitges discuss a recent initiative from Global Heart Hub - a patient association - which examined the realities faced by women living with heart valve disease. They outline the gaps identified, the call to action that followed, and how...
How are the new ESC/EACTS valvular guidelines going to impact my mitral programme?
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Francesco Maisano interviews Michael Borger, co-chair of the 2025 ESC/EACS valvular heart disease guidelines, on their practical impact. The updated guidelines emphasize earlier intervention in primary mitral regurgitation, especially for asymptomatic patients with risk factors, while surgery remains preferred for low-risk patients. Michael Borger stresses the...
Mitral valve: PCR London Valves 2025 highlights
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Together with Chris Allen, Course Directors Tiffany Patterson and Nina Wunderlich highlight the Mitral programme from PCR London Valves 2025. The Course began with fundamentals, including imaging and step-by-step procedural training, and then focused on complex cases, complications, and hands-on discussions. LIVE cases featured edge-to-edge repair,...
Five-year outcomes following early experience with transapical TMVR
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
In this discussion, Christopher Allen and Michael Reardon review the five-year results of an early transapical TMVR system implanted in very high-risk, inoperable patients.
The device showed sustained elimination of mitral regurgitation, with over 80% of patients maintaining trace or no MR at five years and no...
ENCIRCLE 1-year outcomes: Shaping the future of MR treatment with the SAPIEN M3 system
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Fabien Praz talks with Mayra Guerrero and Henryk Dreger about the ENCIRCLE trial on the Sapien M3 transcatheter mitral valve, which shows strong safety, durable MR reduction, and improved symptoms, quality of life, and LV remodelling. High-quality CT and echo are essential for #TMVR, which is...
Featured research: latest advances in mitral TEER and valve repair technologies
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents featured research on mitral valve interventions, including two-year outcomes from the MitraClip G4 EXPAND study, comparative data of mitral TEER versus redo surgery in failed surgical repair, evidence from novel TEER programs in non-surgical centers, and safety and efficacy results of the NeoNova...
Challenging mitral TEER: overcoming access limitations and anatomical challenges
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session delves into the challenges of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), focusing on complex cases such as denied access, patch dehiscence-induced regurgitation, and functional mitral regurgitation due to amyloid cardiomyopathy. It also highlights innovative imaging approaches, including the use of transthoracic echocardiography as a rescue...
Late-Breaking Trials in transcatheter mitral, tricuspid and aortic interventions - Part 1
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents pivotal late-breaking trials in transcatheter mitral and aortic valve interventions. Explore one-year outcomes from the AltaValve early feasibility study featuring atrial fixation TMVR, interim results from the TARGET study assessing Cardiovalve for tricuspid regurgitation, five-year data on transapical TMVR, and outcomes of TAVI...
Complex mitral and tricuspid TEER
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session highlights complex cases in mitral and tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), addressing challenges such as septal obstacles in patients with old atrial septal occluders, management of residual atrial septal defects post-mitral valve-in-ring replacement, and innovative multidisciplinary approaches. It also covers hybrid transapical mitral valve-in-valve...
Nightmare mitral interventions
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex mitral valve intervention cases highlighting procedural challenges and innovative solutions. It includes management of embolised transcatheter mitral valve replacements (TMVR), bailout redo transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), complications such as acute hypoxia and atrial wall perforations, and the application of TAVI skills in...
