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.

This is a 44-year old male patient with an aortic root fistula to the right heart after past infective aortic valve endocarditis. Interventional shunt occlusion was successfully performed using a transcatheter closure device.

View the case of this 65-year-old male patient who was staged for R-PCI of a Medina 1,1,1 distal left main lesion, and discover how the authors used a hybrid robotic and manual approach to perform a DK crush procedure using the second-generation R-PCI device.
