Summary

This session examines two compelling cases: a 78-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, chest trauma, an osteoporotic sternum fracture, and NYHA II exertional dyspnoea, and an 82-year-old man with chronic three-vessel coronary artery disease, bradycardic AF, peripheral arterial disease, spinal stenosis, and chronic kidney disease. Through their study, discover the intricate anatomy of atrioventricular valves, the therapeutic challenges they pose, and the growing significance of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) therapies. The discussion also highlights the value of multidisciplinary strategies in managing complex valve diseases effectively.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn the morphology of TEER: understand the intricate structure of atrioventricular valves and discuss the associated treatment challenges
  • To learn about the safety and efficacy of TEER therapies: unlock the knowledge about the transcatheter solutions' safety profiles and effectiveness
  • To explore multidisciplinary approaches: discuss the benefits of multidisciplinary strategies in managing atrioventricular valve diseases
