Transcatheter Valve Therapies Conference is organised by CardioVascular Research Foundation (CRF) and would be held during Jun 15 -17, 2017 at Sheraton Grand Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event for for interventional cardiologists, radiologists, clinical cardiologists, scientists, vascular medicine specialists, cardiac and vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners, cath lab technicians, and other healthcare professionals with a special interest in the field of transcatheter valve therapies.
Transcatheter aortic and mitral therapies have become standard options for patients with aortic and mitral diseases. Over the last several years, however, there have been important advances in concepts, tools, techniques, and patient selection in the treatment of valvular heart disease using nonsurgical procedures.
Transcatheter valve intervention offers the potential to reduce procedural morbidity, mortality, and cost of surgical valve replacement or repair, while accelerating patient recovery.
Conference Objectives are :
• Discuss evaluation and management of patients with valvular heart disease
• Assess the imaging modalities available for diagnosis of valvular heart disease
• Describe current and future therapeutic options for valvular heart disease
• Acquire the skills necessary to perform transcatheter valve therapies
Highlights :
This is a practical course with live demonstrations of:
• valvular anatomy using humanheart specimens
• patient selection process using clinical case examples
• echocardiography and MSCT analyses
• procedural techniques through live case demonstrations
