Conference Objectives are :
Upon completion of this activity, the learner should be able to :
• Appraise new and upcoming technologies in the management of structural heart disease, including valvular heart disease, stroke prevention, hemodynamic support, cardiomyopathy and high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention to determine their benefit for patients.
• Evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of different strategies in complex cases involving valvular disease.
• Present indications, techniques, outcomes, and complications for transcatheter valve intervention in patients with native valve lesions.
• Compare FDA approved technologies for TAVR and the scientific data supporting their use. • Examine best practice techniques for high certainty valve implantation.
• Analyze data and techniques for treatment of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction.
