This session provides an in-depth understanding of femoral anatomy and the critical role of imaging in ensuring safe vascular access via femoral puncture. It covers the latest equipment used for vascular access and closure, highlighting haemostasis techniques and closure devices. Interactive case scenarios offer practical insights...

This research-focused session presents contemporary evidence and clinical outcomes related to mitral valve interventions. It includes data on transapical mitral valve-in-ring implantation from the European Tendyne registry, prognostic utility of CT-derived fatty muscle fraction in mitral TEER, and comparative outcomes between transapical TMVR and mitral TEER....

This session addresses the complexities of paravalvular leak closure, emphasizing resilience in procedural approaches. It covers sizing balloon techniques that enhance treatment efficacy in aortic paravalvular leaks and explores closure strategies following Ozaki procedures. Management of mitral paravalvular leaks in high-risk patients and innovative solutions for...

This session explores complex and uncommon complications associated with TAVI procedures, highlighting challenging clinical scenarios such as neurological complications in bicuspid valves, management of critically unstable left ventricles, and outcomes in complex valve interventions. Each topic offers valuable lessons for improving procedural safety and patient outcomes...

This featured research session presents pivotal findings on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), including 30-day and one-year outcomes from the VANTAGE trial, novel concepts for assessing aortic stenosis severity, and the influence of mitral annular calcification on conduction disturbances. Additional topics cover the role of clinical...

This session focuses on the challenges of performing TAVI in complex anatomical settings. It covers issues such as valve compression, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-related left ventricular responses, alternative management strategies during crises, and handling anatomical complexities like membranous septal aneurysm at the annulus and sinus of Valsalva in...
