Agenda

Bicuspid aortic valve disease is currently a challenge for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Bicuspid disease has so far been an exclusion criterion in randomized TAVI trials. Issues with severe bicuspid and TAVI include significant periprosthetic regurgitation and device malposition.

This live case will feature a mechanically expandable transcatheter heart valve with complete repositionability and a sealing skirt. These features will be discussed in the context of bicuspid valve disease treatment.

Learning Objectives

  • Performing a TAVI implantation in a bicuspid valve
  • Discussing specific valve features which impact outcomes
  • Explaining implantation from A to Z

Target Audience

  • Interventional cardiologists
  • TAVI operators
  • Nurses and technicians involved in structural heart programs
  • Interventional cardiology fellows
