Severe Aortic Stenosis: Stratifying Patients for Lifetime Management
In this symposium, part of the Transcatheter Interventions Online 2022, the faculty consider when to use a surgery or TAVI-first approach, summarise clinical evidence to date and assess possible management scenarios by way of clinical cases.
The symposium consists of three presentations followed by a faculty discussion.
Note, this on-demand version is not CME accredited.
Key Learning Objectives
- Describe the challenges with lifetime management in severe AS in both a SAVR and TAVI-first scenario
- Summarise clinical evidence for TAVI in low surgical risk patients
- Recall different guideline recommendations for SAVR and TAVI approaches
- Assimilate current clinical knowledge with patient preferences when formulating treatment plans for severe AS patient
Target Audience
- Interventional cardiologists
- Surgeons with an interest in transcatheter treatment strategies for coronary and structural heart disease
- Interventional cardiology nurses
