Summary
Addressing the complex diagnostic challenges in aortic stenosis and regurgitation, this session examines the timing of treatment initiation and the decision-making process when aortic valve disease coincides with aortic pathology. It also explores the ongoing healthcare burden posed by mitral regurgitation and stenosis, emphasizing the importance of accurate severity diagnosis and optimal treatment strategies, including combined versus step-wise approaches, for aortic and mitral regurgitation.
