💓 ShortCut Expands to More Central PA Patients Across the Geisinger Health System 🙌 Congratulations to Drs. Arav Jhand, Shikhar Agarwal and the entire structural heart team at Geisinger Danville Medical Center on launching their #ShortCut leaflet modification program. 🫀The team performed left coronary leaflet splits to enable the safe implantation of MDT Evolut FX valves in two patients who were at high risk for coronary obstruction. The first patient underwent a TAV-in-TAV procedure to replace her failing #SAPIEN3 transcatheter valve due to aortic stenosis; the other underwent a TAV-in-SAV procedure to replace his failing Trifecta valve due to aortic regurgitation. 🦾Bravo on a strong start team! Looking forward to helping you make better health possible for your #complexTAVR patients in need of innovative options. #Geisinger #GHVI #PiCardia #ShortCut #AorticValve #AorticStenosis #BAV #bicuspid #Cardiology #complexTAVR #heartvalvefailure #Innovation #leafletlaceration #leafletmodification #leafletsplitting #LifetimeManagement #LifetimeManagementofAS #MedicalInnovation #medtech #Partnership #startuphealth #StructuralHeart #TAVI #TAVR #THV #transcatheter #valvefailure #VIV #ValveinValve

💫 ShortCut Shows Up for SoCal Patients Supported by Leading Heart Team at Los Robles 🎉 Congratulations to Drs. Saibal Kar, Greg Fontana and the structural heart team at Los Robles Health System on the introduction of #ShortCut leaflet modification to enhance the world-class care provided to its complex valve disease patients. 🫀 The team treated an 86 year-old patient whose MagnaEase surgical valve was failing due to aortic regurgitation and who was at high risk for coronary obstruction. After an efficient split of the patient’s left coronary cusp, the team effortlessly delivered an #Evolut THV and excellent outcome to this valve-in-valve patient. 🤝 We are honored to work with your team to offer a new way to treat #complexTAVR patients with the most advanced heart care available today.

The future of Complex TAVI ViV interventions is on the rise.   At #EuroPCR2026, Dr. Didier Tchétché shared interesting insights during his presentation on “Forecasting TAV-in-Valve Procedural Volume in Europe” — highlighting how the structural heart landscape is rapidly evolving.   Key takeaways: 🟢 ViV procedures currently represent ~5% of the TAVI market and is expected to grow to 12% by 2035. 🟢 TAV-in-TAV procedures are projected to overtake the TAV-in-SAV by 2028. 🟢 Leaflet modification will become increasingly critical to enable safe and effective interventions for patients requiring multiple valve procedures throughout their lifetime.   Thank you, Dr. Didier Tchétché, for sharing these valuable insights and helping shape the conversation around the future of structural heart interventions 📗 💚 @didier_tchetche @PCRonline #euroPCR #PiCardia #AorticValve #AorticStenosis #complexTAVR #coronaryobstruction #coronaryaccess #heartvalvefailure #Innovation #leafletmodification #leafletsplitting #LifetimeManagement #LifetimeManagementofAS #medtech #ShortCut #startuphealth #StructuralHeart #TAVI #TAVR #THV #transcatheter #ValveInValve #VIV #valvefailure

💪🏻Off to a strong start at #EuroPCR2026! In his presentation, “Optimising outcomes for complex TAVI valve-in-valve cases with leaflet modification and AI-powered planning,” Dr. Matt Summers highlighted the role of ShortCut leaflet modification in a complex TAVR case involving a failed surgical valve requiring reintervention. In this high-risk patient, ShortCut played a critical role in reducing the risk of coronary obstruction and enabled safe TAV-in-SAV implantation of a 23 mm self-expanding THV. Dr. Summers also emphasized the growing importance of advanced decision-support tools, adjunctive techniques, and efficient leaflet modification strategies in addressing the increasing complexity of the expanding TAVI ViV patient population.
