Procedural Planning with Cardiovascular Computed Tomography: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and Beyond

Procedural Planning with Cardiovascular Computed Tomography: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and Beyond is organized by Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) and will be held from Nov 09 - 11, 2018 at The Wond'ry, Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America.

Course Description:
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rapidly changing the management of patient’s with aortic valve disease and cardiovascular CT plays a major role in procedural planning. During this course you will learn from a multi-disciplinary expert faculty using a hands-on case-based approach.

Course Objectives:
Upon completing the course learners will be able to:
• Apply cardiovascular CT to optimize clinical outcome in TAVI/TAVR with a focus on annular sizing, device selection and strategies to reduce potential complications.

• Utilize image processing workstations from multiple vendors to make standardize measurements consistently and reproducibly.

• Identify unfavorable aortic root and vascular anatomy and identify and evaluate alternative approaches.

• Describe the variants of aortic valve, coronary sinus and coronary ostia anatomy and how they may impact management of aortic valve disease.

• Describe the anatomy of the mitral valve by CT and how it can assist in transcatheter mitral valve implantation planning.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
