Consult this session on hot TAVI topics to learn more about the under-treatment problem of patients with aortic valve disease, the rationale behind emerging TAVI indications and ongoing trials, as well as the nuances of patient selection and the key role of cardiac imaging in identifying markers of...

Elevated gradients have been proposed to be associated with haemodynamic structural valve deterioration (SVD) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); however, data regarding their characterisation remain scarce. This study sought to investigate the prevalence and predictors of moderate or greater SVD and the prevalence of valve...

Previous clinical trials suggested that ultra-thin strut biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) may be associated with lower target lesion failure (TLF) when compared to durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EES). However, the possible underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, the all-comers CASTLE study was designed to assess the...
