First-in-human experience with EasyCross: a novel catheter for a safe and correct aortic valve crossing
14 Jun 2024
This EIJ image highlights a new device designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of ViV TAVI procedures, particularly TAV-in-TAV, by reducing attempts to cross the valve and preventing guidewire misnavigation, thereby minimizing complications and procedure time.
Rapid CT-guided emergency TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve for cardiogenic shock with high coronary obstruction risk
14 Apr 2026
An 85-year-old man presented in cardiogenic shock with torrential aortic regurgitation after prior surgical and TAVI valve-in-valve procedures. With high coronary obstruction risk, urgent CT assessment and in-silico simulations guided a rapid redo TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve implantation, demonstrating that CT-assisted emergency redo-TAVI is feasible and lifesaving in high-risk...
