Shaping the Next Chapter: EAPCI Vision 2026-2028
At #ESCCongress our SoMe Ambassadors met with the new EAPCI Board to capture their vision for the mandate ahead: every new chapter builds on a strong foundation.

Rise and Lift 💫 A powerful motto that defined a mandate

Key takeaways from the interview with Past President Prof Alaide Chieffo:

🤝 EAPCI is now fully integrated within the #ESCfamily with all other Associations, with its own Congress and Journal fostering a strong network of members working together
📚 The launch of the new #EducationalPathway which will be consolidated and expanded through the shared vision of the incoming board
 🚀 A direct call to young interventional cardiologists to reach out, engage and seize the opportunities. Empowering them to grow within the association.
Watch the full interview to see how we are building on this legacy👇

What a remarkable few days for EAPCI at #ESCCongress! ✨ From sharing scientific breakthroughs to the simple joy of reconnecting with old friends and colleagues, the atmosphere was truly special 🔬🤝🌍

The energy and presence at our General Assembly was outstanding, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated as our newly elected board outlined their vision for the mandate ahead 🚀

We’ll take these vibes straight into our next chapter ➡️ we can't wait to see you all at #EAPCI27 Congress in Milan this February 🇮🇹📅

At #ESCCongress a packed joint session with @CRT_meeting just wrapped up on the progress in structural heart valve interventions

Aortic Stenosis 🫀 It’s all about lifetime management: prevention + planning for redo-AVR at the time of the first intervention

Mitral Valve Implantation 🫀 TMVI shows excellent and durable MR reduction, careful patient selection remains the critical hurdle

Tricuspid Valve Interventions 🫀 T-TEER/TTVR is a game-changer for symptom relief, boosting QoL and reducing HF hospitalizations

Aortic Regurgitation 🫀 Moving past off-label TAVR: dedicated devices are the new inflection point for safe, reproducible therapy!

The future of Structural Valvular Intervention is paved with innovation and evidence ✨

TAVI Head-to-Head 6️⃣

🫀 NOTION-2 substudy: TAVI vs Surgery in younger, low-risk AS patients

🛡️ Very low death/disabling stroke at 3 years
🌟 ~50% achieved “excellent” health status
�� Trends favored TAVI for patient-reported outcomes
⏳ Longer follow-up needed for durability
