11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Join this innovation-focused session highlighting new structural heart devices and techniques emerging from Latin America. Review real-world cases including mechanical valve re-intervention, TMVR, novel mitral TEER devices, and first clinical experiences with a new self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve in small annuli. Gain valuable procedural and clinical...
Tricuspid and mitral: fine tuning diagnosis and results in transcatheter valve management
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session focuses on refining diagnosis and treatment outcomes in transcatheter management of tricuspid and mitral valves. Topics include assessment of pulmonary artery pressure changes post-MitraClip, 3D echocardiographic evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation severity, quantitative improvements in imaging, and insights from single-centre experiences. Additional discussions cover bicaval...
The complexity of transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore the complexities of transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions through a series of case studies tackling challenging clinical scenarios. Discover therapeutic options, including TEER in patients with pacemaker leads, imaging strategies with ICE, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement using Evoque and LuxValve devices, as well as simpler approaches...
Management of hostile access for TAVI
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Access challenges are among the most critical hurdles in TAVI procedures. This session explores how to identify difficult access routes using pre-procedural CT, and demonstrates practical techniques to safely overcome these obstacles. Through real-life case presentations—including challenging femoral access with a shockwave balloon, carotid access, and...
Mitral valve - The role of the echocardiography imager pre and post intervention
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session emphasizes the critical role of echocardiography imaging pre- and post-mitral valve interventions. It includes case-based post-processing with comprehensive transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography essential for decision-making in mitral TEER, identification and grading of recurrent mitral regurgitation, and evaluations related to mitral annular calcification and valve-in-calcification...
Addressing challenges in the right heart
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session addresses complex challenges associated with right heart conditions, featuring cases such as post-infarction interventricular septal defect with right heart failure, innovative orthotopic options for tricuspid regurgitation, and advanced edge-to-edge repair using the TRICLIP device. Gain insight into therapeutic strategies for managing severe tricuspid insufficiency...
Management of aortic stenosis: what really matters before and after the procedure
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Aortic stenosis management is a lifetime strategy, not a one-time procedure. This session covers key decision-making factors, compares surgical and transcatheter options, and provides guidance on post-procedural care. Learn to individualise treatment based on age, anatomy, and risk, and plan interventions with the patient’s long-term trajectory...
Problem-solving in challenging TAVI cases
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore complex and challenging TAVI cases with expert-led discussions covering redo TAVI procedures, horizontal aorta anatomy, rapid pacing protocols, lithotripsy-assisted interventions for severe calcific stenosis, and management of procedural complications including valve dislodgement.
Overcoming the 360 degree radial artery loop
17 Mar 2021
A 77-year-old man was admitted for an elective diagnostic coronary angiogram. Following insertion of a 6Fr sheath into the distal right radial artery, a radial angiogram showed complete 360 degree radial artery loop...
Outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation randomized to receive LAA closure or oral anticoagulation: Primary results of the CHAMPION-AF clinical trial
28 Mar 2026
During the first Late-Breaking Trial session of the 2026 ACC Congress held in New Orleans, Saibal Kar, principal investigator of the CHAMPION-AF trial, presented the 3-year results of this groundbreaking study, which were simultaneously published in the NEJM (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2517213).
