– Not only about hemodynamics, this lecture provides comparisons among three bioprostheses

– Similar clinical outcomes, better hemodynamic results, and shorter ICU stays for rapid deployment valves… but newer bioprosthesis tissue technology may raise the bar even higher

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.1

– A comprehensive lecture about the indications, technical aspects, and results of the rare but challenging procedure of TAVI explantation

– When looking at long-term data, acknowledge the high mortality rates and think about which era the original valves were implanted (technology and overall know-how)

– Be sure to totally familiarize yourself with the technology, implantation method, material, and design of the originally implanted valve
