Who are eligible patients for transcatheter mitral valve replacement?
05 Dec 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
While surgical mitral valve replacement or repair and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are two well established techniques, Alison Duncan and Lenard Conradi explore the place that transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) now holds.
They describe how and why patients who, for clinical reasons, are not suitable candidates...
Patient selection for tricuspid intervention - the role of the right heart
30 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Interviewed by Jörg Hausleiter, Rebecca Hahn and Philipp Lurz provide insight into the right heart's role in tricuspid procedures.
How can we best assess right heart function in patients so as to choose the most appropriate therapy for them? How TTE and TEE can help? How can...
Focus on the imaging learning center
22 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Chiara De Biase and Nicolo Piazza explore the rationale behind the Imaging Learning Center, established in response to a real need for comprehensive learning in cardiovascular imaging throughout pre-, intra-, and post-procedural phases. Within this dedicated imaging space, various concepts are discussed, spanning from the aortic...
Mitral valve intervention in complex scenarios - Transcatheter paravalvular leak closure
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Everything you need to know about mitral PVL and transcatheter closure is outlined in this session: clinical implications, indications for transcatheter closure, role of imaging, necessary access and equipment, and even tips for difficult anatomies.
Mitral valve intervention in complex scenarios - Valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, valve-in-MAC
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
What role does imaging play in complex mitral interventions such as valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring or valve-in-MAC? Study how CT-scan, fusion imaging, TEE and TOE are used throughout the procedures and analyse the latest trial results on the subject to get an idea.
Mitral valve intervention in complex scenarios - Transcatheter mitral valve replacement - who are the eligible patients, and what are the available options?
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
This PCR London Valves 2023 session about mitral valve interventions seeks to address three key questions: identifying the ideal patient for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation (TMVI), exploring treatment alternatives for ineligible patients, and discussing the prediction and management of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Watch video...
Transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair step-by-step
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
In this interactive session, the comprehensive case of an 81-year-old patient with atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease and chronic kidney disease, presenting with fatigue, shortness of breath and peripheral oedema, is dissected, allowing meticulous analysis of each step of transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair. Don't miss...
How to treat my patient with combined mitral and tricuspid valve disease
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Follow the discussion around the case of this 77-year-old patient with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, already on dialysis twice a week for chronic kidney disease, and with an implantable automatic defibrillator, who presents with permanent atrial fibrillation, and severe secondary mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, and learn more...
What does the interventionist need to know from the imager?
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Take inspiration from the discussions on the case of a 78-year-old patient with HTN, HLD, and AF, presenting with symptomatic heart failure, or that of a 59-year-old female patient, former smoker, with HTN, DM, and persistent AF, who had been treated for breast carcinoma and post-chemotherapy...
Innovations in transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention - LIVE case
21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Consult this session to discover the new transcatheter treatment strategies, improve your understanding of the clinical indications for intervention, and appreciate the challenges and limitations of tricuspid valve imaging before and during the intervention.
