Master the critical role of advanced imaging in transcatheter mitral valve replacement with Dr Joao Cavalcante

This presentation, part of Women As One's comprehensive Structural Interventions track, addresses the imaging strategies essential for optimal patient selection, procedural planning, and complication prevention in this rapidly evolving field.

Drawing from current clinical experience, the discussion explores procedure-specific considerations across the TMVR spectrum. Dr Cavalcante details valve-in-valve sizing using surgical ring measurements, valve-in-ring complexity with rigid versus semi-rigid anatomy, and the substantial challenges of valve-in-MAC procedures with high screen failure rates. The presentation provides practical guidance on risk mitigation strategies including leaflet laceration (LAMPOON), septal modification (SESAME), and combined surgical approaches when indicated.
