Navigate the evolving landscape of TAVI beyond conventional applications with Dr Victoria Delgado.

This presentation, part of the Structural Interventions track, explores specialized applications including TAVI in small aortic annulus, examining insights from the SMART and RHEIA trials that demonstrate superior hemodynamics of transcatheter approaches, particularly in women who present with smaller annuli. Dr Delgado explores the technical challenges of accurate annulus measurement, emphasizing the complementary roles of CT and 3D transesophageal echocardiography in optimal patient assessment.

Key focus areas include patient-prosthesis mismatch considerations, highlighting how transcatheter valves demonstrate superior performance compared to surgical alternatives, and the complex hemodynamic assessments required for accurate post-TAVI gradient interpretation.
