Featured research - TAVI: procedural optimization
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Delve into comprehensive analyses of TAVI procedural outcomes and innovations in this session. Topics include the impact of intercoronary angles on coronary overlap with Evolut valves, mechanisms behind superior outcomes with the latest balloon-expandable valves, and predictive modeling of hemodynamics using physics-enhanced digital twins. Additionally, sex-specific...
TAVI: high coronary risk - Part 2
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses the challenges and solutions related to high coronary risk in TAVI procedures. Topics include advanced coronary protection strategies, innovative approaches to complex valve-in-valve interventions, the benefits of balloon-assisted techniques, management of right coronary cusp obstruction through UNICORN technology, and prevention of sinus sequestration...
TAVI: complex vascular access - Part 2
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Focus on complex vascular access challenges in TAVI with this session covering strategies such as the pave and crack technique for inaccessible vessels, management of bicuspid aortic stenosis with hostile access and horizontal aorta, complex single transfemoral access procedures, and combined interventions including left atrial appendage...
Paravalvular leaks and VSD percutaneous closure - Recorded cases
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Recorded case 1: A 56-year-old female with a prior mechanical mitral valve replacement (Star GK, 2018), permanent AF, and normal LV function presented with recurrent HF admissions due to paravalvular leaks. She was treated with implantation of multiple plugs via a transseptal approach using a Destination...
Tricuspid valve interventions in complex scenarios - Part 2
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session delves into transcatheter interventions for the tricuspid valve in complex clinical scenarios. It covers techniques for native annular reduction via TEER, management of lead-related regurgitation, challenging cases of torrential regurgitation with device detachment, and innovative methods facilitating valve-in-ring implantation, enhancing procedural efficacy in tricuspid...
Cardiogenic shock: transcatheter solutions
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session focuses on transcatheter solutions for cardiogenic shock, highlighting rescue therapies such as mitral clip intervention in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, valve-in-valve TAVI during CPR, and sequential mechanical circulatory support. It presents complex clinical cases illustrating stepwise approaches combining mechanical support and percutaneous valve repair to...

Repair of iatrogenic perforation of a pulmonary artery side branch with Micro Vascular Plug System
04 Dec 2022
Pulmonary artery rupture during right catheterization is a serious complication that needs to be solved urgently. The patient can be stabilized by tamponade of the pulmonary artery with the catheter balloon tip, as demonstrated in this image in cardiology.
UNIVERSAL: routine ultrasonography guidance for femoral vascular access for cardiac procedures - A randomized clinical Trial
19 Sep 2022
Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.

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...
