Message from the National Facilitators

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has transformed the landscape of valvular heart disease management — evolving from an experimental therapy for inoperable patients to a mainstream treatment option across risk profiles. In India, this journey has been marked by significant learning, adaptation, and innovation, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and patient outcomes.

The PCR Seminars on TAVI aim to provide an interactive and in-depth educational experience for the interventional community, focusing on practical insights, evidence-based updates, and procedural nuances in TAVI practice. Through expert-led case discussions, live demonstrations, and structured teaching modules, the program is designed to enhance understanding of pre-procedural planning, valve selection, imaging interpretation, and complication management — all within the context of real-world Indian experience.

For the first time, this prestigious educational programme is being held in India on 13–14 December 2025 at Andaz, Aerocity, New Delhi. Led by an international PCR Faculty alongside distinguished Indian experts, the seminar will provide a unique opportunity for participants to strengthen their technical expertise and clinical decision-making in TAVI procedures through a dynamic and immersive learning model.

As National Facilitators, we are privileged to host this landmark initiative in India. We believe that this collaboration between global and national faculty will not only enrich procedural proficiency but also foster a spirit of partnership and continuous advancement in structural heart therapy across the region.

We look forward to welcoming you to an engaging scientific exchange and an inspiring educational experience.
