Master the anatomical criteria essential for successful transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with Prof Marta Sitges (Hospital Clínic, Barcelona, Spain).

This presentation, part of the comprehensive Complex Cases track in interventional cardiology, explores the critical role of systematic imaging analysis in candidate selection for mitral valve TEER. Prof Sitges demonstrates how precise understanding of valve pathology directly determines therapeutic success.

Prof Sitges outlines the fundamental principles of anatomical assessment using transesophageal echocardiography. The presentation emphasizes the importance of standardized imaging protocols, including six classical 2D views combined with 3D en face visualization, to evaluate leaflet motion patterns and tissue quality. Particular attention is given to the intercommissural view as a cornerstone for accurate anatomical mapping.
