Procedural imaging for tricuspid valve interventions

15 Feb 2026 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2026

Dedicated to procedural imaging for tricuspid valve interventions, this session elucidates anatomical and pathophysiological features critical for successful transcatheter procedures. It emphasizes technical aspects of TEE and ICE imaging, including 3D multiplanar reconstruction, and offers case-based learning to refine imaging skills and optimize procedural outcomes.

Tricuspid and pulmonary valve intervention

09 Feb 2025 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2025

Delve into the challenges and innovations in tricuspid and pulmonary valve interventions. Discover cases involving imaging nightmares for treating severe tricuspid regurgitation, transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation for heavily calcified lesions, and the use of the "zipping technique" for massive tricuspid valve flail gaps. Explore the strategies...
