When the interventional cardiologist meets the surgeon

Facilitators: M. Taramasso, T. Walther

Summary

This session highlights collaborative approaches between interventional cardiologists and surgeons in complex valve interventions. It includes cases such as transfemoral valve-in-valve TAVI in bio-Bentall patients with chronic aortic dissection, critical decision-making in life-threatening scenarios, the importance of access choice in TMVR, mechanical leaflet modification of failed surgical valves, and the dynamic interactions between cardiology and surgical teams during procedures.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Transfemoral valve-in-valve TAVI in a bio-Bentall patient with chronic type B aortic dissection
  • TMVR beyond the valve: the critical role of access choice
  • Mechanical leaflet modification of a failed surgical aortic valve
  • Fear happens when surgeons call from the OR
