Plenary IV: The Valve Clinic | Recorded at the AATS Mitral Conclave 2025

Plenary IV: The Valve Clinic, recorded at the 2025 AATS Mitral Conclave, offers expert perspectives and case-based insights on the evaluation and management of mitral valve disease across a spectrum of clinical scenarios. The session addresses low-risk patients, early failure after mitral intervention, and individuals with complex pathology. Through focused video expert discussions, faculty highlight diagnostic considerations, procedural challenges, operative strategies, and patient selection factors that inform contemporary mitral valve practice. Learners will gain practical guidance to refine decision-making, optimize timing of interventions, and approach recurrent or high-complexity cases with confidence.

Featured presentations:

  • Mitral Disease in the Low-Risk Patient
  • Early Failure After Mitral Valve Intervention
  • Mitral Disease in the Complex Patient
