Navigate the complex landscape of coronary interventions following transcatheter aortic valve replacement with Dr Samineh Sehatbakhsh, addressing critical access challenges in an era of expanding TAVR indications.

This essential presentation, part of the Complex Cases track, examines the growing clinical significance of post-TAVR coronary access as procedures expand to younger, lower-risk patients with longer life expectancies. Dr Sehatbakhsh explores the technical challenges posed by different valve designs, highlighting how transcatheter heart valve features impact future coronary interventions.

Key insights focus on the clinical outcomes of failed coronary interventions post-TAVR, including significantly prolonged door-to-balloon times and increased mortality rates. Dr Sehatbakhsh also introduces newer valve technologies like the Navitor system, designed with larger cell architecture to facilitate future coronary access.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering long-term coronary access requirements during initial valve selection, particularly in younger patients who may require future interventions.
