Impacting MR and TR Patient Outcomes with the PASCAL Repair System
Overview
This studio-based interactive broadcast will bring together a world-leading faculty for a series of presentations, engaging discussions and a live case, led by Prof Lurz from the renowned Heart Center Leipzig, in which he will demonstrate the PASCAL repair system for the treatment of Mitral Regurgitation. Whilst the focus will be on MR treatment, our faculty will also offer expert insight to TR treatment.
Moderated by Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem, from Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, this dynamic event will keep its audience central to proceedings with the chance to engage with the faculty throughout with live Q&As, and polls to share the latest audience insights to the challenges, opinions and approaches in mitral and tricuspid valve disease repair.
Pipeline products from Edwards Lifesciences will also be shown.
