How do we meet the needs of women with heart valve disease?
17 Nov 2025 – 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...
Mastering simple and complex LAA closure: a step-by-step case-based approach
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This case-based session offers a comprehensive approach to mastering left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, emphasizing the critical role of imaging from pre-procedural planning through execution. It covers patient selection, procedural strategies from experienced operators, device selection tailored to anatomy, and nuanced decision-making during challenging device releases...
Complex combined interventions
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex combined interventions tackling multiple valvular and structural heart challenges simultaneously. It highlights innovative procedural approaches such as the 'super combo' techniques, strategies for managing deteriorative mitral regurgitation post-tricuspid valve replacement, and comprehensive management of torrential tricuspid regurgitation within rheumatic multivalvular disease contexts,...
Hotline - Valvular and structural interventions
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents pivotal advances in valvular and structural heart interventions, covering the SMART-MV trial on mitral valvotomy safety, outcomes of TAVR patients with tricuspid regurgitation undergoing TEER, and the application of the FLOWer embolic protection system across structural heart procedures. Additionally, it explores the impact...
Emergency transcatheter valve interventions: alternative therapy or bridge to surgery?
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session offers a compelling case-based exploration of emergency transcatheter valve interventions, demonstrating their potential as life-saving alternatives or bridges to surgery in high-risk patients. Through detailed clinical scenarios including cardiogenic shock, acute papillary muscle rupture, and severe aortic regurgitation from infective endocarditis, participants gain practical...
Valve interventions in congenital heart disease
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex valve interventions in congenital heart disease, highlighting challenging cases such as positional hypoxaemia due to iatrogenic atrial defects, navigating residual shunts after PFO closure, and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in native right ventricular outflow tracts without pre-stenting. It also examines an intriguing...
Transcatheter solutions for rare complications
