Valve haemodynamics and long-term durability

Spokesperson: V. Delgado

Discussants: D. Dudek, H. Jilaihawi, L. Rosseel, E. Grube

Summary

Curious about valve durability and haemodynamics? This session is for you!

You'll discover why echocardiographic and invasive measurements of valve gradients differ, gain insights into the performance of surgical versus transcatheter valves, explore the latest knowledge on structural valve degeneration and learn how interventional techniques may influence long-term durability.

Learning Objectives

To understand the differences between invasive and echocardiographic measurements of valve gradient
To put the performance of surgical and transcatheter valves in contemporary perspective
To learn how to share our current understanding of surgical and transcatheter heart valve durability with your patients

Presentations available when logged in:

Why are there differences in echocardiographic and invasive measurements of aortic transvalvular gradients?
Perspectives on the differences in valve gradients for balloon expandable and self-expanding transcatheter heart valves
Current knowledge concerning structural degeneration of surgical and transcatheter valves
Interventional techniques that may impact upon transcatheter valve durability
What should we tell young patients about the durability of bioprosthetic aortic valves?
