TAVI embolisation - Part 2
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session focuses on managing complications related to TAVI valve embolisation and migration. It includes detailed case discussions on balloon-expandable valve dislocation into the left ventricle, intra-annular migration managed by valve-in-valve techniques, and successful strategies for self-expanding valve migration. The session underscores the importance of readiness...
TAVI: technical tips and tricks
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session provides practical technical guidance for TAVI procedures emphasizing multimodality imaging for ultra-low contrast implantation, contrast-free techniques tailored for type 0 bicuspid aortic valves, and innovative bailout strategies for rapid pacing failure. It also covers advanced access management approaches in contrast-zero TAVI and current commissural...
Mitral TEER in complex scenarios
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex clinical scenarios in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), illustrating advanced procedural techniques and multidisciplinary management. Topics include on-circuit aspiration thrombectomy to facilitate TEER, combined interventions addressing multiple valve pathologies, timing considerations in healed mitral endocarditis, and TEER application in end-stage idiopathic cardiomyopathy....
Complications of mitral TEER
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses complications associated with mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), showcasing innovative bailout methods such as snare-assisted retrieval of undeployed devices, managing leaflet perforations with latest-generation devices, cases of valve-adjacent tears, mechanical support considerations when pumps fail, and the clinical impact of iatrogenic fossa ovalis...
TAVI: nightmare in the cathlab - Part 3
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session reviews challenging complications encountered during TAVI procedures, highlighting emergent situations such as coronary occlusion and cardiac arrest. It also discusses unique cases including bicuspid aortic valve-related haemolysis, novel vascular access approaches like lithotripsy, and successful management of double perforation complications. The session provides critical...
TAVI-in-TAVI - Part 2
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session explores the evolving field of TAVI-in-TAVI interventions, presenting complex cases such as transfemoral TAVI-in-TAVI for degenerated transapical clip-fixed valves in transplanted hearts, management of very late TAVI migration in Bentall de Bono patients, TAVI for degenerated Evolut R valves, stepwise approaches to coronary protection...
TAVI complications - Part 5
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session highlights acute and urgent complications following TAVI implantation, including myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and challenging catheterization scenarios. It provides detailed case analyses illustrating the limits of TAVI procedures and the critical importance of prompt recognition and intervention in adverse events, enhancing clinician preparedness for...
Curious TAVI scenarios - Part 3
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session examines unusual and challenging clinical scenarios following TAVI, including presentations of cyanosis, evolving valvular defects such as growing paravalvular holes, atypical imaging findings, paradoxical transvalvular gradients switching from aortic regurgitation to stenosis resolved by postdilatation, and bicoronary protection techniques in patients with low coronary...

Management of mitral regurgitation patients undergoing TMVI screening
13 Jan 2022
This study's results emphasise the strengths and limitations of transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) as a novel and promising therapy providing predictable elimination of MR in most patients, by S. Ludwig et al.
Primary Outcomes of a Pivotal Multicenter Randomized Trial Comparing the AGENT Paclitaxel-Coated Ballon with Conventional Ballon Angioplasty for In-Stent Restenosis (AGENT IDE)
27 Oct 2023
Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the AGENT IDE trial which was presented by Robert W. Yeh at TCT Congress 2023. This pivotal randomized trial compares the safety and efficacy of the AGENT DCB to conventional balloon angioplasty in patients with ISR. It is the first...

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
