Session 2.1 | Live Case: TAVI Strategy in Younger, Low-Risk Patients

Chair: Nicolas Van Mieghem

Panel: Rui Campante Teles; Mohamed Abdel-Wahab

Case Operator: Ole De Backer, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, DK  

This live case performed by Dr Ole De Backer (Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, DK) explores the growing role of TAVI in younger, low-risk patients, where long-term outcomes and lifetime management are critical. Through a case from Copenhagen, the faculty will examine advanced CT planning, valve sizing (including bicuspid anatomy) and strategic device selection to ensure durability and future coronary access.

Key discussions will focus on balancing procedural success with long-term considerations such as reintervention and commissural alignment. With real-time insights from an experienced heart team, this session provides a practical framework for optimising TAVI strategies in a new generation of patients with higher expectations and longer life horizons.
