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.
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.
