TAVR in challenging anatomies
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on navigating TAVR procedures in complex anatomical scenarios. It covers topics such as optimizing the position of a TAVR valve in a stentless bioprosthesis, managing an unexpected deep position of a TAVR implant, dealing with a completely radiolucent failing surgical bioprosthetic valve, and...
Non left main bifurcation - LIVE case
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 53-year-old male presented with a late STEMI one month ago. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease: CX occlusion (culprit lesion), RCA bifurcation stenosis, and severe mid LAD-D1 (1-1-1) stenosis. The operators performed RCA PCI during the STEMI hospitalization.
In this live case, they performed the LAD-D1 bifurcation...

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...
