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.

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.

Part 2

Optimised Approaches for First Valve Choice

In this chapter Prof Lars Søndergaard looks at the procedural steps to optimise the outcome for TAVI patients, and how physicians refine the steps based on longer lifetime expectancy.

Part 3

Tips and Tricks for Achieving Procedure Efficiencies

In the final chapter of the symposium, Dr Douglas Fraser dives into the tips and tricks relating to his own experience. Dr Fraser then discusses contemporary techniques to optimise outcomes for patients.
