Session 1.1 | Live Case: TAVI for Aortic Regurgitation

Chair: Nicolas Van Mieghem

Panel: Mohamed Abdel-Wahab; Giuseppe Tarantini; Philipp Lurz

Case Operators: Thomas Modine and Lionel Leroux, University Hospitals of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FR

This live case from the University Hospitals of Bordeaux, explores the evolving role of TAVI in pure aortic regurgitation, an area still navigating guideline uncertainty and expanding clinical practice. Through a complex, high-risk patient scenario, the session highlights patient selection, imaging considerations and procedural planning when surgery is not feasible. With real-time decision-making from an expert heart team, attendees will gain insight into device choice, access strategy and management of anatomical challenges such as low calcification and horizontal aorta. The discussion also addresses how emerging technologies are pushing beyond current evidence and redefining treatment boundaries.
