TAVI training workstations

Evolut™ TAVI Suturing:

Experience the precision behind Evolut™: our suturing expert will provide a live demonstration of how Evolut™ TAVI valves are assembled, showcasing the highest standards of quality.​

Register now to challenge yourself and experience suturing under a microscope!​

Post-TAVI PCI:

Through our POST‑TAVI PCI simulator featuring an underwater, beating‑heart technology, you will learn how to selectively cannulate both left and right coronary arteries in Evolut™ FX+.

The training focuses on appropriate material selection and equips you to manage a full range of challenging commissural alignment scenarios. ​

​TAVI Sizing & Imaging:

Our Sizing & Imaging station offers hands‑on training in TAVI sizing - from femoral access to the heart - using 3mensio software.

You will learn practical tips for routine and complex anatomies, with expert guidance on procedure planning, complication management, commissural alignment, and the cusp overlap technique to help reduce pacemaker rates.​
