Overview
In this symposium, join this esteemed faculty where they will consider when to use a surgery or TAVI-first approach, summarise clinical evidence to date and assess possible management scenarios by way of clinical cases. The symposium will consist of three presentations followed by a faculty discussion, where the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions to the faculty.
Faculty
Chair: Prof Thomas Modine
Panel: Dr Victoria Delgado, Dr Rebecca Hahn, Dr David Wood
Learning objectives
- Describe the challenges with lifetime management in severe AS in both a SAVR and TAVI-first scenario.
- Summarise clinical evidence for TAVI in low surgical risk patients.
- Recall different guideline recommendations for SAVR and TAVI approaches.
- Assimilate current clinical knowledge with patient preferences when formulating treatment plans for severe AS patient.

Key Considerations to Ensure Long-Term Patients’ Outcomes: When Anatomy, Engineering and Clinical Practice Come Together
Date: Wednesday, 23 March 2022
Time: 17:05 – 17:50 CET
Overview
This breakout session brings a fresh insight with practical considerations of anatomical and engineering focus into TAVI procedure with discussion about how morphological features of aortic valve and enhanced design of self-expanding TAVI valve translate into optimised clinical outcomes to ensure TAVI long-term results.
Faculty
Moderator: Prof Dave Smith
Panel: Dr Lluis Asmarats, Prof Andrew Cook, Prof Silvia Schievano
Learning objectives
- To learn more about the cardiac morphology from TAVI procedural perspective in younger patients with aortic stenosis.
- To understand which engineering device modifications and procedural refinements translate into TAVI patient life-time management.
- To share practical clinical considerations to optimize outcomes for patients with longer life-expectancy.

Innovations in Treating Complex PCI: The Role of Orbital Atherectomy
Date: Thursday, 24 March 2022
Time: 17:05 – 17:50 CET
Overview
Join us for a discussion on the benefits of incorporating orbital atherectomy into your practice. Attendees will learn proper patient selection, treatment best practices, along with a review of the clinical data. The presenters will share real-world case examples and how they have been successful in optimizing outcomes in complex calcified lesions using orbital atherectomy’s dual mechanism of action to treat a broad range of calcium.
Faculty
Moderator: Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem
Panel: Dr Amir Kaki, Dr Kambis Mashayekhi
Learning objectives
- Understand the challenges of treating severe calcium.
- Review orbital atherectomy, the dual mechanism of action, and clinical data.

Coronary Physiology in STEMI patients today: Why? When? How?
Date: Thursday, 24 March 2022
Time: 17:05 – 17:50 CET
Overview
Physiology in STEMI patients is a controversial hot topic in interventional cardiology: it has been first demonstrated to enhance the benefits of full revascularization vs PCI only in the culprit lesion; then its effectiveness has been mitigated by clinical outcomes not showing any differences versus angiography-guided complete revascularization.
Join a panel of international expert in the discussion about a topic that is still controversial and may impact a large number of STEMI patients undergoing PCI.
Faculty
Moderator: Dr Ziad Ali
Panel: Dr Joost Daemen, Dr Zsolt Piroth
Learning objectives
- To understand the current position of Key Opinion Leaders on physiology in STEMI patients.
- To review the literature and defining the key clinical settings where physiology should play a role in the decision making.
- To actively participate to the debate over the options offered in the cathlab to support physiology guided complete revascularization in STEMI patients.
