Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

 

Panelists: Adam Greenbaum,  Samir Kapadia, Ron Waksman
7:45-7:55 Here are my new TAVR insights for 2023! Raj Makkar, MD
7:55-8:00 Q&A  
Debate:  Bicuspid aortic valve stenosis in a low risk patient <65 yrs. of age  
8:00-8:07 SAVR should be the first choice Greg Fontana, MD
8:07-8:14 TAVR should be the 1st choice! Why? Which valve? Ron Waksman
8:14-8:20 Q&A  
Debate: Coronary revascularization prior to TAVR  
8:20-8:27 I fix CAD before TAVR. Here is why! Alcoy Aksoy, MD
8:27-8:34 Stable CAD is stable CAD. No upfront revascularization!
8:34-8:40 Q&A
Debate: Coronary Protection  
8:40-8:47 Keep it simple: Use stents when needed
