TAVI has evolved over the last few years from a high-risk procedure to a standard of care for patients suffering from aortic valve stenosis. This rapid evolution has led to expanded patient indications and new challenges to safely and efficiently treat more patients who are younger over time.
In this webinar, the faculty will discuss latest clinical evidence for the novel ACURATE neo2™ Aortic Valve System designed with a number of new features and to understand how improvements in design may help optimize patient outcomes.
The live case from Leipzig, will address the topic of coronary access after TAVI, challenges and solutions to achieve a successful implant that will preserve coronary access for future interventions. Prof Mohamed Abdel-Wahab with Dr Johannes Wilde will provide insights on commissural alignment with the ACURATE Valve Platform.
The discussion will be facilitated by Prof Raj Makkar and Prof Ole De Backer.

Faculty Biographies
Raj Makkar
Interventional Cardiologist
Dr Raj Makkar is a world-renowned leading expert in interventional cardiology and is one of the most widely cited researchers on the management of valvular heart disease. He has performed the greatest number of transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in the world and has led the field in advancing the procedure to ensure the best outcomes for patients. In 2020, he performed the most transcatheter mitral valve repair procedures with the MitraClip system in the United States and is the national principal investigator for mitral valve replacement research studies.
His research interests focus on novel transcatheter therapies to treat structural heart disease, with a focus on studies that directly demonstrate improvements in patient outcomes. Since 2010, he has been the Stephen R. Corday Chair in Interventional Cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, and has led the clinical program and trained over 50 fellows…
