Abstract
TANJA Rudolph, Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany; and Carla Romina Agatiello, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina, chaired a captivating session exploring the challenges associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with complex aortic stenosis. The European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) hosted the session during the 35th Annual EuroPCR Global Course held in Paris, France, between the 14th–17th of May. The primary objectives of the session were to evaluate and emphasise the importance of detailed CT imaging and pre-procedural planning in TAVI. Moreover, the session focused on how the selected valve and implant techniques in aortic stenosis can be tailored to individual patient anatomy.
