Structural Heart Masterclass: Mitral Tricuspid Valve | Recorded at the AATS 105th Annual Meeting

Course Description: We have designed the course in structural heart to involve the clinical outcomes and/or translational research related to the diagnosis, natural history, patient selection, therapy or new innovation related to the cardiac valves.  This comprises both general cardiology, interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery.  

This session included the following presentations:

  • TMVR updates and Evolution: From Neanderthal to Caveman to What's Next?
  • Clinical Trials between TEER and MV Repair: What does Equipoise Really Mean?
  • Panel Discussion and Case 1: DMR In an Intermediate Risk PT with Some Calcium
  • Role of Surgeon in Mitral-Tricuspid Structural Procedures
  • Complex Valve Scenarios - How Do We Evaluate What is Best for Patients?
  • Do We Need a Trial of TTVR/r vs. Tricuspid Valve Surgery? - How to Move Forward with Lower Risk TR Patients

Learning Objectives

1.    TAVR: TAVR for AS and AI, Transcatheter AV repair
2.    Mitral Valve therapies: Transcatheter Mitral Repair and Replacement, MAC Treatment
3.    Tricuspid Valve Therapies: Transcatheter Repair and Replacement
4.    Trends in Transcatheter Utilization: National Registries, Diversity and Access to Care
5.    Complex Valvular surgery Scenarios:
       a.    Elderly patients
       b.    Lifetime Management
       c.    Multivalvular disease
       d.    TAVR Explant
       e.    Endocarditis
6.    Comparative Trials between Transcatheter and Surgical Therapies
7.    Transcatheter Aortic Root and Valve Therapies
8.    New Technology for Valve Disease: Preclinical, Early Clinical, and Clinical Trial
9.    Heart Team Scenarios
10.    Challenging Cases
11.    Surgery for failed transcatheter mitral and tricuspid devices.
