Navigate complex structural heart interventions through this session focusing on challenging anatomies and innovative procedural strategies. Topics include orthotopic tricuspid valve replacement amidst anatomical and physiological complexities, percutaneous closure of Valsalva sinus fistula, extreme TAVI approaches for pure aortic regurgitation, management of mitral paravalvular leaks with...

This session provides a forward-looking perspective on emerging orthotopic mitral valve devices for repair and replacement. Discussions focus on new device technologies soon to be available, patient selection criteria, and the specific developmental challenges encountered. Case presentations, including the TVMR Intrepid system, illustrate clinical applications and...

Delve into the complexities of managing residual and recurrent mitral regurgitation following Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER). This session discusses challenges such as late mitral regurgitation, strategies for handling single leaflet detachment, and anatomical considerations that may preclude TEER feasibility.

Integrate the 2025 EACTS valve guidelines into your clinical practice with a focus on valvular heart disease management tailored to Latin American realities. This session reviews the most relevant updates on aortic stenosis management and transcatheter approaches for mitral and tricuspid valves.

Understand the critical importance of lifetime management in TAVI, emphasizing how the initial procedure impacts long-term results. This session discusses implantation depth, commissural alignment, and their roles beyond coronary access, illustrated through a low-risk young patient case and current durability data.

Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the cornerstone of modern evidence-based medicine. The primary objective of an RCT is to provide unbiased estimates of the comparative efficacy and safety of various treatments and/or interventions. Interventional cardiology has undoubtedly been at the forefront of clinical research, with a...

Analyse this case of an 83-year-old male patient, hypertensive, ex-smoker, with severe COPD and peripheral arterial disease with unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed a severely calcified lesion in a complex anatomical area, making revascularisation a therapeutic challenge.

September 29th marks the 25th anniversary of the creation of World Heart Day by the World Heart Federation. This day is dedicated to focusing international attention on cardiovascular disease (CVD), which remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide [1,2]. Today, we highlight the women...
