This session addresses the clinical considerations surrounding iatrogenic atrial septal defects (ASDs) resulting from transseptal procedures. It covers prevention of residual defects, diagnostic evaluation, criteria for closure, procedural timing, and management strategies for related complications, supported by illustrative clinical cases demonstrating decision-making nuances.

This session highlights acute and urgent complications following TAVI implantation, including myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and challenging catheterization scenarios. It provides detailed case analyses illustrating the limits of TAVI procedures and the critical importance of prompt recognition and intervention in adverse events, enhancing clinician preparedness for...

Prepare to establish a successful tricuspid TEER programme by understanding essential components such as systematic echocardiographic and clinical assessments for patient selection, procedural fundamentals, and programme development supported by clinical evidence.

This session focuses on optimizing patient selection for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in 2026. It integrates anatomical, haemodynamic, and clinical criteria to identify ideal candidates, explores evolving treatment boundaries between TEER, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), and medical management, and applies evidence from key trials...
