Summary

This session explores the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies for mixed and multiple valvular heart diseases. Through case scenarios, including aortic stenosis, regurgitation, and combined atrioventricular valve regurgitation, learn how to use imaging modalities to assess severity and determine optimal treatment timing.

Learning Objectives

To understand the diagnostic challenges in mixed and multiple valvular heart disease
To learn how to use different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of mixed and multiple valvular heart disease
To assess the best treatment timing and approach for mixed and multiple valvular heart disease

Introduction and session objectives
Introductory case of a patient with moderate aortic stenosis and moderate aortic regurgitation
Aortic stenosis combined with aortic regurgitation: which imaging approach can solve the diagnostic challenges?
When and how should we treat mixed aortic valvular disease?
Aortic valve disease concomitant to aortic pathology: which comes first in the decision-making?
Case resolution
Introductory case of a patient with combined atrio-ventricular valve regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation combined with tricuspid regurgitation: always treat first left? Which is the role of the aetiology in decision making?
Case resolution
How to properly diagnose the severity of aortic stenosis and of mitral regurgitation when they coexist (case based)
How to predict the effect of aortic stenosis intervention on concomitant mitral regurgitation
