Featured research - Tricuspid valve intervention: latest advanced insights
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This featured research session delves into advanced insights on tricuspid valve interventions, focusing on the significance of right ventricular function and dimension in patient outcomes. It explores prognostic factors such as right ventricular loading mismatch, innovations like the clover technique in Pascal TEER, myocardial work recovery,...
Pulmonary valve interventions
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex cases and innovative solutions in pulmonary valve interventions. It highlights a novel balloon-expandable valve for the right ventricular outflow tract, management of severe prosthetic pulmonary valve stenosis in congenital heart disease, approaches to residual lesions in Fallot's anomaly, treatment of double outlet...
TARGET study interim results: safety and performance of Cardiovalve replacement system for tricuspid regurgitation
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Georg Nickenig and Christopher Allen discuss transcatheter replacement for the tricuspid valve and a dedicated transfemoral device in this interview, focusing on the TARGET study.
TARGET set out to answer two questions: can tricuspid regurgitation (TR) be reduced to mild or zero, and what are the safety...
Should we consider TTVR in patients with straightforward anatomy who are eligible for T-TEER?
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Lukas Stolz and Rebecca Hahn discuss advances in transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention, emphasising that reducing tricuspid regurgitation (TR) to mild levels is key for improving patient outcomes, including mortality and heart failure hospitalisations. Decision-making between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) depends...
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...
What are the key considerations when managing combined mitral and tricuspid regurgitation?
17 Feb 2026 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Fabien Praz and Neil Fam talk about the management of patients with combined mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, who are often elderly with heart failure and multiple comorbidities. Careful assessment—including echocardiography, hemodynamics, and sometimes CT—is crucial to identify the dominant lesion. Surgery is preferred if feasible, but...
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 tricuspid programme?
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
While the PCR London Valves 2025 Course is underway, Francesco Maisano and Fabien Praz discuss how the latest ESC/EACTS valvular guidelines affect clinical practice. What’s changing in surgery? How do repair and replacement strategies differ under the new recommendations, and what’s the impact on transcatheter interventions?...
Tricuspid valve: PCR London Valves 2025 highlights
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
At PCR London Valves 2025, Course Directors Francesco Maisano and Nicolo Piazza highlight with Chris Allen the rapid evolution of tricuspid interventions. They emphasise advances in imaging and simulation, with dedicated labs offering practical multimodality training and hands-on experience. LIVE cases showcased both repair and replacement...
From pivotal trial to real-world impact: shaping TR treatment today with the EVOQUE system
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Rebecca Hahn, Varius Dannenberg and Matti Adam discuss the updated ESC/EACTS guidelines for tricuspid regurgitation, which upgrade transcatheter tricuspid interventions to a IIa recommendation. Evidence from the TRILUMINATE and TRISCEND II trials shows improved quality of life and reduced heart failure hospitalisations, especially in patients with...
