Navigate the complexities of patient selection and device matching in TMVR with Dr Ignacio Inglessis-Azuaje

This presentation, part of Women As One's comprehensive Structural Interventions track, provides essential guidance for clinicians approaching this rapidly evolving field. The presentation systematically explores general eligibility requirements including symptomatic severity, surgical risk stratification, and critical anatomical parameters such as ejection fraction thresholds and ventricular dimensions.

Drawing from current clinical trial data, Dr Inglessis-Azuaje examines six major TMVR system categories based on anchoring mechanisms: balloon expandable, apical tether, radial force self-expandable, external dock, atrial docking, and mitroanular clamping. Dr Inglessis-Azuaje provides practical guidance for matching each system's unique characteristics to specific pathologies, including valve-in-MAC, valve-in-ring, and valve-in-valve scenarios. The presentation concludes with forward-looking insights into how ongoing trials will refine device selection algorithms for this expanding therapeutic landscape.
