Tips and techniques
Sharing best practices for TAVI
Find tips, techniques and case sharing videos to help you with specific procedural transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) challenges in the cath lab.
In this webinar first screened at EuroPCR 2021, Dr Philippe Genereux introduces a detailed presentation about growing Edwards SAPIEN 3 TAVI experience in bicuspid aortic valve patients.
The panel discusses how to better understand which patients are best suited to TAVI compared to surgery.
Multiple case studies demonstrate in detail how to implant the Edwards SAPIEN 3 valve in an effective fashion when treating a bicuspid valve to optimise hospital outcomes.

A presentation from the TAVI Today shared case series from June 2021. Dr Dan Blackman and Dr Sagar Doshi discuss the challenges of screening for bicuspid anatomy. They analyse the different sizing methodologies including ‘the Circle Method’ for supra-annular sizing, to give confidence in sizing and ensure reduced procedural risk when treating bicuspid valves with Edwards SAPIEN 3 Ultra.

At EuroPCR 2020, echocardiographer Victoria Delgado introduces an expert panel that explains the difference between pressure gradients measured by echocardiography and by direct invasive pressure measurements of the aortic valve following TAVI.
The panel proceeds to discuss why these differences occur, what are the short- and long- term implications of these differences, and how we can use this knowledge to avoid patient-prosthesis mismatches.
