Aortic valve disease - Aortic stenosis management: Diagnosis, classification & treatment strategies

Summary

This comprehensive session explores the latest advancements in classifying and managing aortic stenosis. Learn key techniques for assessing severity, even in complex cases, and gain insights into evaluating asymptomatic patients with severe disease. Discover multi-modality imaging approaches for diagnosing and treating bicuspid aortic valve, along with the unique challenges and considerations of bicuspid anatomy. Understand the impact of atrioventricular anatomy on patient management and treatment strategies.
