TAVR Valve Choice, Coronary Access, and the Lifetime Valve Mindset: Case discussion with Dr. Matt Summers and Dr. Aidan Raney


Listen Later

TAVR isn’t just a procedure anymore — it’s a lifetime management decision.

In this in-depth case discussion, Dr. Matt Summers and Dr. Aiden Raney dive into how hemodynamics, modeling tools, and device design are reshaping how operators approach valve selection, coronary access, and reintervention planning.

Key insights include:

  • Real-world cases showing how valve selection has evolved since 2018

  • Using DASI modeling to predict sinus sequestration and coronary risk

  • How Shortcut has simplified bilateral leaflet modification and reduced procedure times

  • Lessons learned from redo-TAVR failures, pannus formation, and HALT

  • Why younger and bicuspid patients still favor surgical approaches

  • How commissural alignment and annular eccentricity guide modern valve choice

  • When and how to tackle coronary intervention through TAVR frames

  • The importance of hemodynamics over “comfort” in valve selection

This is a must-watch for interventional cardiologists aiming to merge clinical intuition with device innovation and predictive modeling for long-term outcomes.
