ESC Guideline Updates in Transcatheter Valve Interventions with Dr Victoria Delgado

This presentation examines critical updates across the spectrum of valvular heart disease, from expanded TAVR indications to novel approaches for tricuspid regurgitation. Dr Delgado addresses the evolution of treatment algorithms, emphasizing the central role of multimodality imaging in accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment selection.

Key topics include the alignment of ESC guidelines with contemporary practice, including the reduction of TAVR age thresholds to 70 years for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis with suitable anatomy. The presentation explores the nuances of paradoxical low flow/low gradient AS, highlighting mandatory aortic valve calcium scoring thresholds and the importance of confirming severity before intervention. Drawing from recent trial data including RECOVERY, AVATAR, Early TAVR, and EVOLVE studies, Dr Delgado demonstrates the benefits of early intervention in preventing heart failure hospitalization and stroke.
