The Closing Ceremony marks the conclusion of this cardiology conference, providing a formal wrap-up and reflection on the key highlights and advancements presented throughout the event. It serves as an opportunity to acknowledge contributors and set the stage for future initiatives in interventional cardiology.

Delve into the assessment of mitral regurgitation and the criteria determining suitability for Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER). This session reviews mitral valve anatomy and the latest clinical data supporting mitral TEER interventions.

Advance your expertise in mitral TEER by gaining anatomical insights, understanding device interaction with native valve structures, and learning to prevent and manage procedural complications through case-based imaging and live assessments.

Gain foundational knowledge in tricuspid TEER by understanding anatomical criteria for patient suitability, key procedural steps, and device techniques, enhanced by simulation-based procedural training.

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.

Nicola Ryan presents a synthesis of this study which compares FFR-guided assessment of patients with chest pain with angiographic guidance alone, and which was presented by Nicholas Curzen (Southampton, USA) during the ESC Congress 2021.

Yohei Ohno provides his takeaways from the results of the MATTERHORN trial presented by Volker Rudolph at the ESC Congress 2024 in London.

Elad Asher provides his take on the UK National Registry which was presented at the TCT congress 2022 by Joel Peter Giblett on behalf of the UK PIVSD investigators.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.

This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the trial evaluating multi-modality imaging to determine underlying causes of MINOCA in women and men. The trial results were presented by Harmony R. Reynolds at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneously published in Circulation.

Transcatheter interventions have rapidly reshaped the management of tricuspid valve disease, with landmark trials establishing feasibility and early clinical benefit.

Beyond these pivotal studies, a series of less visible but highly informative papers addressed mechanisms, complications, patient phenotypes, and unintended consequences of intervention.

This curated selection highlights ten impactful tricuspid...
