Overview

In this symposium, part of Transcatheter Interventions Online 2022, we review latest data showing why durability and hemodynamics matter for initial valve selection and discuss the latest techniques to help achieve optimal outcomes for patients with longer life expectancy.

 

Join this expert faculty for a combination of highly informative technical presentations and patient case studies.

This symposium has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant by Medtronic.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall the latest data showing why durability and hemodynamics matter for initial valve selection.
  • Discuss the latest techniques to help achieve optimal outcomes for patients with longer life expectancy.

Target Audience

  • Interventional Cardiologists
  • Surgeons with an interest in transcatheter treatment strategies for coronary and structural heart disease
  • Interventional Cardiology Nurses

Part 1

Considerations for First Valve Choice

In this first chapter, Prof Ran Kornowski drives us through the reason why the choice of the first valve is important, and what physicians look for when planning and preparing a TAVI procedure. Prof Kornowski will review the short-term and long term considerations.

Lars Søndergaard

Lars Søndergaard

Professor Lars Søndergaard is a consultant cardiologist at Rigshospitalet – Copenhagen, Denmark. Professor of Cardiology at University of Copenhagen, he published over 300 peer reviewed articles, and more than 15 textbook chapters. His research interests are focused on adults with congenital heart diseases and catheter-based heart valve interventions, as well as congenital and structural heart diseases. He led the first-in-human transcatheter mitral valve implantation (CardiAQ) in 2012 and he actively participated to several trials, including NOTION (transcatheter vs. surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis and low surgical risk), and the REDUCE randomised trial (PFO vs anti-platelet therapy after cryptogenic stroke).
