Featured research - Mitral valve interventions: Physiology & device innovation
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session highlights groundbreaking research on mitral valve interventions featuring advanced transcatheter techniques. Topics include coronary physiology assessment with vFFR in severe mitral regurgitation, predictive versus actual outcomes in TMVR, innovative devices like Epygon and INNOVALVE, and novel approaches such as the ReNiva posterior leaflet replacement...
Left atrial appendage occlusion
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session focuses on the complexities and innovations in left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures. It covers transesophageal ICE monitoring, challenges posed by existing atrial septal occluders, combined surgical and percutaneous approaches, and the practical experience with the Ultraseal device. These insights advance understanding of procedural...
TAVI: complex vascular access
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session addresses the challenges of complex vascular access in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It discusses strategies for navigating difficult thoraco-abdominal aortic anatomies, managing double aortic arches, and overcoming hostile femoral access. Case studies illustrate meticulous planning and innovative solutions essential for successful TAVI in...
Mitral TEER and LAA closure - LIVE Case
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Watch a LIVE case followed by a recorded case regarding a 91-year-old female with permanent AF, LAD PCI three months earlier, and recurrent GID bleeding who presented with symptomatic severe primary mitral regurgitation due to P2 prolapse and flail. CT imaging showed a LAA with a...
TAVI: nightmare in the cathlab - Annular perforation, coronary obstruction & balloon rupture
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents critical case analyses of complicated TAVI procedures, highlighting unexpected and severe intra-procedural events such as annular perforation, leaflet modification complications, coronary obstructions, and device failures. It emphasizes prevention strategies, bailout techniques, and acute management to prepare clinicians for handling TAVI-related emergencies effectively.
TAVI in patients with concomitant valve and coronary artery disease
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Focused on patients with concomitant valve and coronary artery disease, this session examines evaluation strategies for aortic stenosis burden, integrates recent trial data on combined TAVI and PCI, and discusses optimal management approaches in complex multi-valve disease scenarios through detailed case presentations and clinical outcomes.
Challenging mitral TEER: Barlow's disease, fibro-elastic deficiency & abnormal valve morphology
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session examines the feasibility and technical considerations of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in complex anatomical and pathological scenarios. Topics include applications in Barlow's disease, fibro-elastic deficiency, congenital heart anomalies, Anderson-Fabry disease, and post-cardiac transplantation, providing valuable insights into expanding TEER indications and overcoming anatomical...
Pulmonary valve interventions
17 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
This session presents complex cases and innovative solutions in pulmonary valve interventions. It highlights a novel balloon-expandable valve for the right ventricular outflow tract, management of severe prosthetic pulmonary valve stenosis in congenital heart disease, approaches to residual lesions in Fallot's anomaly, treatment of double outlet...
Bubble trouble: aortic air embolization and de-embolization during coronary angiography
09 Aug 2021
Air embolism (AE) is a rare complication during interventional procedures and one of the most scaring for interventional cardiologists. Air bubbles in the coronary circulation often result in ischemic symptoms, vasospasm, and even cardiac arrest. In addition, arrhythmias are common and closely related to the coronary ...

SURTAVI: five-year results from a randomized trial of TAVR vs. SAVR in patients at intermediate surgical risk
07 Nov 2021
Although TAVI is an accepted alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk, less is known about long-term comparative outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate surgical risk. P. Redaelli & M. Pighi review the SURTAVI trial...
