Coronary cannulation after Evolut FX
Yohei Ohno, Guilherme F. Attizzani, et al.

The study found that coronary cannulation after TAVI with the Evolut FX valve was highly feasible due to a high rate of commissural and coronary alignment, but coronary misalignment was the strongest predictor of suboptimal coronary cannulation for both the left and right coronary arteries.

Reply: TAVI and covert brain injury
Victor Alfonso Jimenez Diaz, Paula Bellas Lamas, et al.

The reply adresses the need for further research on optimal post-TAVI regimens to balance ischaemic, embolic, bleeding, and cognitive risks, and the prevention of covert brain injury in the TAVI population.

TAV alignment: progress and remaining gaps
Ignacio J. Amat-Santos, Filippo Pensotti
This study demonstrates high coronary cannulation success rates with new-generation transcatheter heart valves, but moderate-to-severe coronary misalignment remains a concern that requires dedicated procedural strategies or device designs.

ACURATE platform discontinuation
Won-Keun Kim, Helge Möllmann
The ACURATE transcatheter heart valve platform was discontinued by Boston Scientific in 2025 due to disappointing results in the randomized IDE trial with the ACURATE neo2 valve, preceded by negative outcomes in the SCOPE I and SCOPE II trials with the first-generation ACURATE neo valve.

EVOQUE TTVR follow-up
Kevin Millar, John G. Webb, et al.

The key findings from the 5-year follow-up of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the EVOQUE valve include normal leaflet function, minimal residual tricuspid regurgitation, no heart failure hospitalizations, and significant improvement in the patient's symptoms.

HALT following TAVI using S3UR
Kenichi Ishizu, Kentaro Hayashida, et al.
This study found that hypoattenuating leaflet thickening (HALT) was detected in 21.3% of patients 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the latest-generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA THV. Hourglass-shaped THV frame and asymmetric leaflet expansion were associated with increased HALT risk.

Long-term valve durability and outcomes of BE-TAVI
Masanori Yamamoto, Kentaro Hayashida, et al.
This study found that annular size differences did not influence long-term outcomes or valve durability following TAVI with a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve, with a low frequency of bioprosthetic valve failure.

Intrepid Transapical TMVR 5-Year Outcomes
Gilbert H.L. Tang, Michael J. Reardon, et al.

The key findings from this 5-year study of the early-generation Intrepid transapical transcatheter mitral valve replacement system were sustained mitral regurgitation reduction, durable hemodynamic valve performance, and improved functional status among survivors, despite high mortality rates.

Biomimetic balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve in small aortic annuli
Ole De Backer, Vinayak N. Bapat, et al.

This study found that the novel DurAVR transcatheter heart valve demonstrated promising 30-day clinical and echocardiographic outcomes, including a low rate of prosthesis-patient mismatch, in patients with small aortic annuli.
