Contemporary Lifetime Management: How to Treat All Patients?
Moderator Prof Flavio Ribichini (University of Verona, IT) is joined by Dr Hendrik Ruge (German Heart Center Munich, DE), Dr Philipp Bartko (Vienna General Hospital, AT), Dr Stephen Dorman (Bristol Heart Institute, UK) and Dr Nihal Wilde (Bundeswehr Central Hospital, DE), they focus on contemporary lifetime management in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Faculty explore the evolving needs of today’s patients and the surgeon's viewpoint on the long-term durability and performance of heart valve leaflets. Through insightful presentations and case discussions, faculty examine the complexities of treating patients with different anatomical considerations, from large to small annuli.
Learning Objectives
- To illustrate through a case in point and the latest data on how latest generation of THV technology would optimise the full spectrum of lifetime management to all patients
- To understand what patients care the most about in their TAVI journey from first valve choice and durability to minimising patient reintervention
- To examine how advancements in THV technology support long-term durability and improve outcomes across diverse patient anatomies
- To learn the latest definitions and latest clinical data evaluating valve performances
Target Audience
- Interventional Cardiologists
- General Cardiologists
