Focus on the right ventricle: patient selection and clinical outcomes after tricuspid valve intervention
With the collaboration of the PCR Tricuspid Focus Group
Anchorperson:

Spokesperson:
F. Praz
Summary
Focused on the often-overlooked right ventricle, this session elucidates methods for accurate assessment of right ventricular function prior to transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions. It explores the role of right heart catheterisation in patient selection and timing, and evaluates long-term remodeling patterns post-procedure, providing critical insights for optimizing clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To determine the most accurate and clinically relevant methods to assess right ventricular function prior to transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions
- To understand the role of right heart catheterisation in guiding procedural timing and suitability
- To evaluate the patterns and predictors of long term post-procedural right ventricular remodeling
