Overview
This video series includes a symposium first presented at ESC 2024 held in London, where Prof Roxana Mehran, Prof Vijay Kunadian, Dr Didier Tchetche, Dr Julia Grapsa and Dr Joanna J Wykrzykowska discuss transforming TAVI practice. The discussion covers topics such as the SMART trial, a comparison of the most commonly used TAVI valves and strategies to address disparities in diagnosing aortic stenosis in women.

Part 3
SMART Trial Results
Dr Tchétché presents the results of the SMall Annuli Randomized To Evolut or SAPIEN Trial (SMART Trial). The largest, most rigorous trial to date to randomise patients to the two most widely used TAVI devices and the largest TAVI trial to enrol mostly women. It includes a panel discussion on low-flow low gradient aortic stenosis patients and differences in Balloon-Expandable versus Self-Expandable Valves.
Part 4
Addressing Underdiagnosis in Women With Aortic Stenosis
Dr Grapsa presents the challenge of treating women with aortic stenosis, a common clinical scenario and the differences in clinical presentation between women and men. The session includes how to address underdiagnosis in women including sex specific imaging considerations. The panel discuss early diagnosis, referral of women with aortic stenosis and strategies to adopt to fine tune treatment to a female patient.
Part 5
Durability in TAVI Valves
Dr Wykrzykowska presents durability in TAVI valves, Bioprothetic Valve Dysfunction causes and types. She presents data and long-term follow-up from the Evolut™ TAVI low risk trial, PARTNER 3 trial and NOTION trial and also shares the SMART trial results and predictors. Re-intervention and real world insights from case studies are discussed alongside the panel discussion on valve durability, the need for re-intervention putting into prospective life expectancy and durability of the valve.

Vijay Kunadian
Professor of Interventional Cardiology
Prof Vijay Kunadian is Personal Chair and Professor of Interventional Cardiology at Newcastle University.
Prof Kunadian completed all her cardiology training in the North East of England. She undertook an international academic fellowship in cardiology at the TIMI/PERFUSE Study group, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Boston MA.
Prof Kunadian has an international reputation in interventional cardiology and cardiovascular research, making her a sought-after and respected speaker at prominent national and international meetings. She has championed diversity in her specialty as a role model; only 5% of interventional cardiologist are female in the UK, <1% are clinical academics.
