EuroPCR 2026 – Dr Alison Duncan (Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, London, UK) joins us to discuss the imaging requirements for the Intrepid transcatheter mitral valve replacement system, from procedural planning through to intra-procedural guidance.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement represents one of the most technically demanding frontiers in structural intervention, and imaging plays a central role at every stage of the procedure. The Intrepid system, with its unique valve design and delivery mechanism, places specific demands on the imaging workflow, making a thorough understanding of its requirements essential for operators and imagers alike.

Interview Questions:

1. What makes imaging for TMVR more complex than for other transcatheter valve procedures?
2. What are the key imaging considerations when planning a procedure with the Intrepid system?
3. How does the design of the Intrepid valve influence the intra-procedural imaging strategy?
4. What are the most common imaging pitfalls operators should be aware of?
5. What are your take-home messages for imagers and structural heart teams working with the Intrepid system?
