Since the First-In-Man case performed by our team in Rouen on April 16th, 2002, TAVI has known an incredible expansion. Over 23 years, 3.000.000 TAVI cases have been performed worldwide in more than 80 countries. This success results from constant technological advances making the procedures simpler and safer and from an outstanding scientific evaluation.
Retrograde transfemoral TAVI has become the default strategy, feasible in 95% of cases. This strategy has reached its peak with the “minimalist approach” (local anesthesia, no TEE, percutaneous closure devices and patients discharged at home early) that our team has been pioneering since 2012. Despite strong initial reluctance, this technique is now adopted everywhere.
This edition of the workshop will be held at the Rouen Medical Training Center. Live cases with various TAVI systems will be transmitted from our Department of Cardiology in Rouen, and from other institutions in France, Argentina, United States. Several lectures will be covering the topics of patient’s selection and management, CT Scan screening, tips and tricks for the transfemoral minimalist approach, difficult cases, valve-in valve procedures, treatment of complications and overviews of TAVI valve technologies.
The goal of our practical course is to help you to identify the best indications for TAVI and how to assess each individual patient, to master technical steps of a TAVI procedure , to discover the latest technological advances in TAVI and to learn the many tips and tricks associated with a safe and successful transfemoral TAVI procedure.
The first afternoon of the workshop will be dedicated to learning on simulators. This will address patient selection (MSCT simulators) and procedural simulation with different models of TAVI systems.
The programme will include:
At the end of the workshop the participants will:
