What are the fundamentals of an upfront two-stent strategy for bifurcation PCI?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Nicola Ryan explores the fundamentals of an upfront two-stent strategy in bifurcation PCI with Dejan Milasinovic. When the side branch shows significant, high-grade stenosis or extensive disease, direct treatment - via POBA, DCB, or a second stent - may be preferred. Anatomy guides the decision between...

ENCIRCLE 1-year outcomes: Shaping the future of MR treatment with the SAPIEN M3 system
18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Fabien Praz talks with Mayra Guerrero and Henryk Dreger about the ENCIRCLE trial on the Sapien M3 transcatheter mitral valve, which shows strong safety, durable MR reduction, and improved symptoms, quality of life, and LV remodelling. High-quality CT and echo are essential for #TMVR, which is...
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.
This interview was filmed at PCR London...
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...
What are the key steps in pre procedural assessment for successful LAA closure?
16 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...
How to manage patients with aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease?
17 Nov 2025 – 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:...
Why is TAVI a different procedure in patient with pure aortic regurgitation?
17 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.
This...
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...
What are the key considerations when managing combined mitral and tricuspid regurgitation?
17 Nov 2025 – 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...
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...
Are we undertreating aortic regurgitation?
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
At EuroPCR 2025, Victoria Delgado, Helge Möllmann, and Dan Blackman gather to discuss a crucial but often under-addressed challenge in structural heart disease: the under-referral and under-treatment of patients with aortic regurgitation (AR).
The conversation begins with the diagnostic challenges surrounding severe AR, followed by a striking observation—only...
