Iatrogenic atrial septum defect closure: a necessary procedure?
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses the clinical considerations surrounding iatrogenic atrial septal defects (ASDs) resulting from transseptal procedures. It covers prevention of residual defects, diagnostic evaluation, criteria for closure, procedural timing, and management strategies for related complications, supported by illustrative clinical cases demonstrating decision-making nuances.
Unusual structural interventions - Part 2
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session highlights unusual structural interventions in cardiology, featuring comprehensive CT screening for left atrial appendage closure, management of procedural complications, novel access techniques for balloon aortic valvuloplasty, transcatheter treatment of mitral bioprosthetic valve vegetation, and percutaneous ventricular septal rupture closure success criteria.
Featured research - TAVI - Part 13
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session delves into key clinical and procedural advances in TAVI, including the randomized PAF-TAVI trial assessing amiodarone for preventing post-TAVI atrial fibrillation, cost comparisons of balloon-expandable tissue preservation valves versus other devices, leaflet modification methods to reduce coronary obstruction risk, optimization techniques for valve-in-valve TAVI...
Complications of LAA closure - Avoidance and management
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Focused on the prevention and management of complications in left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, this session covers recognition of key procedural risks, techniques for safe transseptal puncture, and strategies to prevent and address device embolisation, pericardial effusion, residual leaks, and device-related thrombus, ensuring procedural safety and...
Paravalvular leak closure - Part 1
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session focuses on paravalvular leak closure challenges and solutions. It features complex cases such as extraction of plugs jailed between mechanical valves, managing leaks associated with severe annular calcification, aorto-mitral curtain leaks, device embolisation post-TMVR, and device-related haemolysis after closure procedures.
TAVI valve-in-valve - Part 4
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This advanced session addresses complex valve-in-valve TAVI procedures, including management of challenging cases involving combined valve-in-valve TAVI and thoracic endovascular aortic repair. It also discusses technical considerations such as retrieval of lost stents in the left main coronary artery and critical aspects of TAV-in-TAV selection, sizing,...
Paravalvular leaks and VSD percutaneous closure - Recorded cases
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Recorded case 1: A 56-year-old female with a prior mechanical mitral valve replacement (Star GK, 2018), permanent AF, and normal LV function presented with recurrent HF admissions due to paravalvular leaks. She was treated with implantation of multiple plugs via a transseptal approach using a Destination...
