Overview

In this on-demand version of the live broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education bring together an outstanding faculty of international leaders to address how TEER therapy has driven unparalleled clinical outcomes across a diverse group of mitral regurgitation patients over the past two decades.

 

Dr Marta Sitges (University of Barcelona, ES) moderates proceedings, and is joined by Dr Paul Mahoney (Sentara Heart Hospital, US), Prof Francesco Maisano (San Raffaele Hospital, IT) and Dr Anita Asgar (Montreal Heart Institute, CA), for a series of insightful presentations, patient case studies and discussions, which will focus on long-term outcomes with TEER and consider the totality of evidence, including real-world data.

 

Note, the live version of this broadcast was CME accredited; this on-demand version is not.

 

This broadcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott. 

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall the long-term outcomes of TEER from real-world and RCT data
  • Apply the results of real-world data to both simple and complex patients
  • Describe how TEER is being used to benefit a range of patients with MR

Target Audience

  • Interventional Cardiologists
  • Cardiothoracic Surgeons
  • General Cardiologists
