Overview

In this on-demand version of the live broadcast, chaired by Dr Martin Swaans (St Antonius Hospital, NL), faculty explore the evolving data for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and why we need to improve triaging practices towards the most appropriate interventions.

 

Leading experts, Prof Sabine Bleiziffer (Heart and Diabetes Center NRW, DE), Prof Vijay Kunadian (Newcastle University, UK) and Dr Marta Sitges (Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, ES), discuss valve design and durability, clinical data from the SMART trial presented at ACC 2024 and how we can provide greater access for women in TAVI.

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Medtronic
