TAVI for aortic regurgitation in high surgical risk: outcomes in 700 patients from ALIGN-AR
12 Feb 2026 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Christopher Allen and Raj Makkar sit down to review the ALIGN-AR trial and its implications for treating native aortic regurgitation.
ALIGN-AR was a pivotal, single-arm, multicenter investigational study designed to evaluate a dedicated transcatheter solution in patients with moderate-to-severe native AR who were considered high risk for...
The D-PACE scoring system Prediction of high-grade conduction disturbances after TAVI
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Michael Joner and Francesco Saia discuss the newly developed D-PACE Score, a tool designed to predict delayed AV block occurring more than 24 hours after TAVI—an unmet clinical need given that current risk models focus mainly on early events. The next steps aim to refine the...
Why is TAVI a different procedure in patient with pure aortic regurgitation?
15 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
In this video, Juan Granada, Michael Borger and Joao Cavalcante highlight that aortic insufficiency differs from aortic stenosis and is often underestimated. Early, comprehensive evaluation and imaging are crucial. Surgery is standard for severe cases, while TAVI with dedicated devices is an option for high-risk patients.

What are the key considerations for transcatheter mitral paravalvular leak management?
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Nina Wunderlich and Patrick Calvert discuss mitral paravalvular leaks, which are relatively common. Percutaneous closure is now the default approach, and imaging is central to success: detailed pre-procedural assessment, 3D TOE during the procedure, and careful planning of transseptal puncture.

What are the key steps in pre procedural assessment for successful LAA closure?
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Lorenz Räber and Kasper Korsholm highlight why pre-procedural imaging—particularly cardiac CT—has become essential for successful left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). They explain that the LAA is highly variable between patients, making detailed planning crucial for safety, device selection, and optimal procedural results.
This interview was filmed at...
Featured research: advances in TAVI for aortic regurgitation and severe stenosis
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session delivers an in-depth analysis of innovative research in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It includes pivotal studies such as the LANDMARK trial subanalysis on cardiac damage in severe aortic stenosis patients, long-term efficacy comparisons of balloon- and self-expanding valves, and evaluations of valve performance...
How to manage patients with aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease?
04 Mar 2026 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Tiffany Patterson and Davide Capodanno address the increasingly common scenario of managing coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing TAVI. With up to half of TAVI candidates presenting with CAD, they highlight new evidence from NOTION-3 showing that revascularization reduces major adverse cardiac events. The takeaway:...
TAVI: high coronary risk
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses the complexities and innovative approaches to managing high coronary risk during TAVI procedures. It features advanced techniques such as the double chimney-stent method, valve-in-valve strategies to prevent coronary obstruction, and challenging cases involving TAVI-in-TAVI. These insights provide practical guidance for interventionalists navigating high-risk...
When the first TAVI fails: no panic, just planning
19 Jan 2026
An 81-year-old man with history of severe aortic stenosis previously treated with a balloon-expandable transcatheter valve was referred for progressive exertional dyspnea due to bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

TAVI: nightmare in the cathlab - Cardiac arrest, aortic root rupture & duct occluder
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Explore critical complications encountered during TAVI procedures in this session, which highlights urgent scenarios such as cardiac arrest from calcific leaflet shift, aortic root rupture, and embolisation events. It also covers salvage techniques like TAVR-in-TAVR-in-SAVR in cardiogenic shock and management of acute left main occlusion with...

Challenging tricuspid TEER
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session focuses on the intricacies of transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER) addressing iatrogenic tricuspid regurgitation, failed surgical valve repair, and approaches for patients unsuitable for valve replacement. It also examines the management of multiple clip detachments and the procedural nuances required to navigate complex tricuspid...
