Mitral valve - The role of the echocardiography imager pre and post intervention

11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

This session emphasizes the critical role of echocardiography imaging pre- and post-mitral valve interventions. It includes case-based post-processing with comprehensive transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography essential for decision-making in mitral TEER, identification and grading of recurrent mitral regurgitation, and evaluations related to mitral annular calcification and valve-in-calcification...

Addressing challenges in the right heart

11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

This session addresses complex challenges associated with right heart conditions, featuring cases such as post-infarction interventricular septal defect with right heart failure, innovative orthotopic options for tricuspid regurgitation, and advanced edge-to-edge repair using the TRICLIP device.

Management of aortic stenosis: what really matters before and after the procedure

11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025

Aortic stenosis management is a lifetime strategy, not a one-time procedure. This session covers key decision-making factors, compares surgical and transcatheter options, and provides guidance on post-procedural care. Learn to individualise treatment based on age, anatomy, and risk, and plan interventions with the patient’s long-term trajectory...
