Thirty years ago, the interventional cardiology field was transformed with the emergence of a new access site – the radial artery was used for coronary angioplasty and stent implantation for the first time on 14 August 1992.

When standard catheters and wires repeatedly fail to cross a severely stenotic aortic valve, a simple modification of readily available equipment may provide a solution.

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to create and use a self-made steerable catheter system to facilitate valve crossing in complex TAVI anatomies.

Aaysha Cader and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial, presented by Rajesh Kharbanda at ACC.25 in Chicago.

In this article, Ahmed Abdelhafez and Mohamed Abdel-Wahab review the key principles of redo TAVI, a procedure set to become increasingly common as TAVI expands to younger and lower-risk patients. They discuss the major challenges of coronary obstruction, device selection, and implantation strategy, highlighting how careful...
