This session explores the evolving field of TAVI-in-TAVI interventions, presenting complex cases such as transfemoral TAVI-in-TAVI for degenerated transapical clip-fixed valves in transplanted hearts, management of very late TAVI migration in Bentall de Bono patients, TAVI for degenerated Evolut R valves, stepwise approaches to coronary protection...

While FFR traditionally reflects the severity of a lesion at a fixed location, PPG incorporates the pullback profile, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of disease distribution.

This session examines unusual and challenging clinical scenarios following TAVI, including presentations of cyanosis, evolving valvular defects such as growing paravalvular holes, atypical imaging findings, paradoxical transvalvular gradients switching from aortic regurgitation to stenosis resolved by postdilatation, and bicoronary protection techniques in patients with low coronary...

This session provides an in-depth exploration of haemodynamic performance and valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the differences between invasive and echocardiographic gradients post-TAVI, evaluate the haemodynamic profiles of various transcatheter valve platforms, and appreciate their implications...

This 77-year-old woman with paroxysmal AF and prior GI bleeding is referred for LAA closure, but CT reveals a shallow, inferior chicken-wing morphology that complicates device selection and planning. How would your Heart Team approach this challenging case?

Renal denervation has been proven to be safe and effective in lowering blood pressure, supported by trials, included in guidelines, with an overview of catheters, procedure, and patient selection guidance. Enjoy the newest chapter authored by L. Lauder and F. Mahfoud.

A 78-year-old male presents with recurrent hospitalisations for HFpEF and severe degenerative MR. Multimodality imaging reveals fibro-calcific leaflet disease, restricted motion, and a short posterior leaflet, making him a suboptimal candidate for M-TEER and prompting consideration of transcatheter mitral valve replacement. How would you treat?

An 83-year-old female patient with HFrEF due to NICM and a history of arterial hypertension and persistent atrial fibrillation was referred with worsening exertional dyspnea, severe functional mitral regurgitation and moderate tricuspid regurgitation.

How would you treat this patient?

Safari wire entrapment during TAVI is a rare but potentially serious complication, particularly with sheathless self-expanding valves. In this My Toolkit article, we describe a simple, effective technique using a parallel stiff guidewire to safely retrieve both the catheter and the entrapped Safari wire when performing...

Bernard Prendergast and Fabien Praz discuss updates from the new ESC/EACTS guidelines on aortic stenosis. Key changes include expanding TAVI to patients aged 70 and older, supporting early intervention in asymptomatic patients, and providing guidance for bicuspid aortic valves. These updates emphasise shared decision-making, careful patient...

A 79-year-old patient previously treated with surgical aortic valve replacement was referred after an episode of acute cardiac decompensation. Although clinically stabilised, further evaluation revealed degeneration of the bioprosthesis, and mixed aortic valve pathology.

This case focuses on the diagnostic assessment and the strategic considerations guiding the...
