5-Year TEE and CT follow-up after TTVR using the EVOQUE valve, there was normal leaflet function with no signs of degeneration! Our paper is now available @EuroInterventio

A strategy of routine postdilatation at nominal volume (double tap) post BE-TAVR resulted in improved THV expansion with no safety concerns! Our paper is now out @EuroInterventio

Bench evaluation of the novel DurAVR THV:
In native, ViV, and redo-TAVI simulations, DurAVR showed consistently larger EOAs, lower gradients, and minimal pinwheeling vs contemporary THVs. @David_Meier_@sellers_steph#TAVI#StructuralHeart

Next-day discharge post-TAVI using ACURATE, Evolut, and SAPIEN valves was not associated with higher 30-day readmissions or mortality in pacemaker-naïve patients. Results support minimalist discharge protocols. #EAPCI#CardiologyResearch#TAVI@RodrigoBagur https://t.co/EhcPKYezJr
This bench study evaluated the effects of pre- and post-dilatation on the expansion of balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valves during #redoTAVI. Full expansion of the redo valve, confirmed by micro-CT and hydrodynamic testing, was achieved only when a SAPIEN 3 was implanted into another SAPIEN 3 with both pre- and post-dilatation. @David_Meier_ #structuralcardiology #heartvalve

Redo-TAVI: Expanding the SAPIEN 3 valve within another SAPIEN (XT or S3) improves with pre- and post-dilatation, reaching full expansion only in the S3-in-S3 configuration. CT imaging is crucial to guide the procedure and optimize outcomes. #EIJBestOF

The Vancouver Facilitated TAVI Clinical Pathway can potentially increase access to #TAVI and reduce inequity in TAVI care. Read more in #CJCO 👉 https://t.co/wm5qiQy0gC #OpenAccess
Postdilatation using the same THV system balloon at the same volume (double tap) does work. Here, we highlight the potential benefit of the double tap technique to treat PVL and improve THV expansion in high-risk annuli. @EuroInterventio@escardio

First #TAVI Sapien S3 Ultra Resilia @UniSpitalBasel Switzerland in a challenging tortouos and horzontal aorta with a great result and a great team. @FelixMahfoud@swissCTO @J_Boeddinghaus Christoph Kaiser, Yves Bayard, Mohamed Bayoumi
In this first long-term follow-up report of #TMVR with the SM3 device, there was normal prosthetic leaflet function with no sign of degeneration at 5 years. https://t.co/jL4Fzll3s9

This bench study suggested that BVF performed after ViV offers the largest haemodynamic benefit without any long-term trade-offs in terms of THV performance or structural valve damage. #EIJBestOf https://t.co/AjAuV59O33
Take a peek at our first publication of the new year!
❗️ Pannus can pose challenges for TMViV procedures.
❗️“watermelon seeding” phenomenon.
❗️ In our case, THV migrated ventricularly.
❗️ Another THV deployed to prevent embolization.
