Navigating complexities in multivalvular heart disease: risk stratification, intervention timing, and advanced imaging

Summary

This session explores the challenges of managing mixed and multiple valvular heart diseases, focusing on risk stratification, treatment decisions, and transcatheter intervention timing. Experts discuss assessing and treating aortic and mitral paravalvular leaks, as well as managing mitral annular calcification, using case studies to guide optimal patient care.

Learning Objectives

  • To manage patients with mixed and multiple valvular heart disease: from risk stratification to therapeutic decision-making 
  • To learn the best timing and the challenges related to transcatheter intervention in patients with multiple valve disease 
  • To accurately assess aortic and mitral paravalvular leakages
  • To know the challenges related to mitral annular calcification
