Innovation in transcatheter mitral valve interventions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This comprehensive session presents the latest innovations in transcatheter mitral valve interventions, highlighting cutting-edge devices and clinical experiences. Topics include early feasibility studies of novel hemivalve systems, first-in-human experiences with new mitral valve replacement technologies, advances in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with one-year outcome data, and...
Mitral interventions: procedural risk assessment and interventions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focused on mitral valve interventions, this session covers procedural risk assessment and outcomes following transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Topics include predictive risk scores, technical complexity, pulmonary artery pressure indices, right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling, and novel imaging predictors influencing procedural success and patient prognosis.
Tricuspid interventions: find the best candidate
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews the phenotypes of tricuspid regurgitation and their diagnostic pathways, emphasizing standardized and pragmatic diagnostic steps. It also addresses criteria for identifying optimal timing and candidates for tricuspid valve interventions.
Outcomes in tricuspid valve intervention
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews contemporary clinical outcomes of tricuspid valve interventions. Topics include interim results from the Cardiovalve replacement system trial, the impact of atrial fibrillation on tricuspid TEER, residual regurgitation implications, afterload mismatch post-intervention, and long-term bioprosthetic valve durability.
How should I treat a patient with a calcified mitral anatomy?
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the management of patients with calcified mitral anatomy, from advanced imaging assessment to intervention planning. It evaluates the suitability of mitral annular calcification for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and discusses alternative therapeutic options for patients ineligible for TEER.
How to select appropriate cardiovascular intervention for a patient with tricuspid regurgitation?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Learn how to select appropriate cardiovascular interventions for tricuspid regurgitation patients by considering comorbidities, anatomical factors influencing procedural success, and imaging criteria for device selection. The session includes patient vignettes to illustrate decision-making pathways.
Mitral hotline: new devices
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Stay updated on emerging devices in mitral valve repair and replacement with this session covering novel technologies including transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), posterior leaflet restoration, transfemoral mitral annuloplasty, and a first-in-human transseptal TMVR system. Clinical trial data and early feasibility experiences provide valuable insights into advancing...
Mitral and tricuspid hotline: long-term outcomes
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Review long-term outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral and tricuspid valve disease in this session. Highlights include pivotal trial results, mortality risk prediction tools, management of procedural failures, and real-world data, providing comprehensive insights into patient prognosis and therapeutic impact.
