Overview

In this series of short interviews and discussions filmed at AV Valves Summit 2023, the faculty delve into sharing invaluable insights and expert opinion on transcatheter mitral and tricuspid intervention.
They examine a range of topics which include the development of TEER, the importance of quality of life, repair vs replacement and how to best shape the future of MR and TR treatment.

The AV Valves Summit led by course directors Prof Francesco Maisano (San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, IT), Prof Marta Sitges (University of Barcelona, Barcelona, ES), Prof Marco Metra (University of Brescia, Brescia, IT) and Prof Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben (University Medical Center of Mainz, Mainz, DE) provided a platform to advance knowledge and shape the trajectory of this treatment in cardiovascular healthcare.

This programme is supported by an educational grant from Abbott.
