18 Feb 2023 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2023

Discover various compelling mitral valve interventions in this session: newer vs. older generations of the MitraClip devices, safety and feasibility of balloon mitral valvotomy, catheter ablation efficacy, and more!

Complication and bailout of TAVI

18 Feb 2023 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2023

As TAVI is never risk-free, learn about bailout techniques to counter various complications. This session explores cases such as failure to release aortic stenosis after implantation of a self-expanding valve, retrieving a pigtail catheter straightener dropped into aorta and balloon rupture during TAVI.

How to snare a TAVI when crossing is too complex

30 Jan 2025

Crossing the aortic valve can pose significant challenges, particularly in cases involving a horizontal aorta, bulky asymmetric calcifications, or prior prosthesis implantation in valve-in-valve procedures. While some TAVI devices feature deflectable delivery systems to enhance coaxiality, current self-expanding valves lack this capability. When standard techniques like...
