Mitral challenges: from paravalvular leaks to valve-in-valve
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore complex mitral valve challenges including paravalvular leaks, valve-in-valve implantation, and comprehensive percutaneous cardiac reconstructions. This session highlights innovative percutaneous solutions for surgical no-go zones, haemolytic leaks, and multi-territory device therapies to improve patient outcomes.
Clinical puzzles in structural interventions
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Delve into complex clinical puzzles encountered in structural heart interventions. This session presents comparative outcomes in paradoxical low flow versus high gradient severe aortic stenosis post-TAVI, explores manual and automatic CT measurement techniques, evaluates valve-in-valve procedures within mechanical valves through meta-analysis, and discusses TAVI strategies in...
TAVI in complex anatomy: high stakes and tight spaces
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Address the high-stakes challenges of TAVI in complex anatomical scenarios. This session discusses high-risk valve-in-valve interventions, management of delayed coronary obstruction, procedures in small annuli, and innovative bailout strategies including carotid TAVI.
Mitral TEER intraprocedural guidance
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session offers a detailed exploration of mitral TEER intraprocedural guidance through case-based learning. It highlights step-by-step techniques, including post-processing and key questions interventionalists face regarding residual regurgitation, clip insertion, and evaluating final procedural outcomes.
Tricuspid valve - How to evaluate?
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session offers a detailed evaluation framework for the tricuspid valve, encompassing clinical decision-making, anatomical assessment with 2D and 3D imaging, quantification of regurgitation, and differentiation of secondary and device-related tricuspid regurgitation, supported by advanced imaging software techniques.
Minimalist approach to tricuspid valve therapy
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Discover the minimalist approach to tricuspid valve therapy showcased through TricValve implantation, emphasizing a contrast-free, minimally invasive procedure guided by transthoracic echo and minimal fluoroscopy. Review clinical evidence demonstrating reduced hospitalizations, improved quality of life, and favorable mid-term outcomes such as decreased right heart chamber dimensions...
TAVI outcomes in special clinical settings: cancer, diabetes, and frailty
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Delve into the complexities of TAVI outcomes in special clinical populations including patients with cancer, diabetes, and frailty. This session reviews critical analyses and meta-analyses addressing ischemic cerebrovascular events post-TAVI, and compares mortality and post-procedural outcomes between diabetic and non-diabetic patients, providing valuable insights for personalized...
Alain G. Cribier
07 Nov 2017
In 2002, Alain Cribier revolutionised the field by introducing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a complementary technique to surgery. Find out more about his early life and studies.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
10 Sep 2025
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease leading to intervention. It is characterized by progression from leaflet thickening and calcification to significant haemodynamic stenosis which results in disease-specific symptoms and physical limitations as well as poor prognosis and impaired quality of life if...
