This session presents featured research on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), analyzing clinical impacts of prosthesis oversizing, same-day discharge experiences, and comparative outcomes of intra-annular versus supra-annular self-expanding valves. It also reviews nationwide TAVR data from Germany and meta-analyses assessing TAVI performance in centers without on-site...

This session addresses contemporary challenges in TAVI, including management of acute valve syndrome through service innovations and the application of Valvosoft non-invasive ultrasound therapy in severe aortic stenosis. It also explores complications such as infective endocarditis post-TAVI, evaluates the feasibility of same-day discharge protocols, and assesses...

This session focuses on the interplay between TAVI and coronary artery disease, discussing high-risk TAVR cases requiring complex left main PCI with prophylactic ECMO support. It provides guidance on timing and strategies for managing concomitant coronary artery disease in TAVI patients, addressing the critical decision-making process...

Live case: An 86-year-old male, with a history of PPM, permanent AF, CKD stage 3, and moderately impaired LV function (50–55%), presented with symptomatic torrential mixed TR (tricuspid annular dilatation and pacing lead on the septal leaflet). An Evoque valve was implanted under fluoroscopy and TEE...

Elad Asher reviews the EROSION III trial, presented by Haibo Jia, which studied whether OCT guidance compared with angiographic guidance only is associated with lower stent rate implantation during pPCI in STEMI patients with non-obstructive stenosis.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BEST trial which was presented by Jung-Min Ahn at TCT 2022.

It is a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing PCI with second-generation everolimus-eluting stents and CABG in patients with non-left main multivessel coronary artery disease. At two-year follow-up PCI was shown...

Pierre Deharo and Giuseppe Di Gioia provide their take on this analysis of the 5 years incidence, outcomes and predictors of hemodynamic SVD in patients undergoing TAVI and surgery from the Corevalve US Pivotal and SURTAVI trials.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides a summary and key take-aways and infographics of 9 major trials of interest to interventional cardiologists presented at ACC.21

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the 10-year follow-up of the HOST-EXAM, which was presented by Hyo-Soo Kim at ACC.26 in New Orleans.

Kalaivani Mahadevan provides an in-depth analysis of the ORBITA-CTO trial: a first-ever randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating CTO PCI in stable angina patients.
She also interviewed principal investigators Sarosh Khan and John Davies following the LBCT Scientific Session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneous publication in...
