Adult Cardiac Masterclass: Beyond the Mitral Valve Deep Dive | Recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting

Explore advanced strategies in mitral valve and atrial fibrillation surgery with this expert-led masterclass recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting. Through case-based presentations and practical insights, faculty examine complex mitral valve repair techniques, management of failed transcatheter interventions, annuloplasty decision-making, HOCM with mitral valve involvement, hybrid ablation approaches, and contemporary considerations for tricuspid valve repair and atrial fibrillation treatment. Designed for cardiothoracic surgeons and heart team members seeking to refine their approach to challenging valve and rhythm disorders.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • Neochords or Resection?
  • My Strategy for Repairing the Complex Barlow Valve
  • How to Repair the MitralValve after Failed mTEER
  • What Type of Mitral Annuloplasty? Ring vs. Band, Rigid vs. Flexible.
  • Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with Mitral Valve Involvement
  • Hybrid Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
  • When to Repair the Tricuspid Valve as Concomitant Procedure
  • Contemporary Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
