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.

Leaflet modification to prevent coronary obstruction during TAVI

22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

This session addresses advanced leaflet modification techniques to prevent coronary obstruction during TAVI. Learn from detailed cases involving valve-in-valve interventions, treatment of failed stentless valves, homograft management, and dedicated devices for leaflet modification prior to valve-in-valve and valve-in-valve-in-valve procedures.
