There has been a recent explosion in the field of transcatheter aortic and pulmonary valve replacements, but the atrio-ventricular valves have lagged behind for various reasons with the tricuspid valve undoubtedly the least treated valve of the four. Despite the fact that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can result in significant symptoms, patients are rarely referred for isolated surgical tricuspid…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex disorder requiring the understanding of mitral anatomy and pathophysiology. With the increasing patient population of mitral regurgitation, both functional and degenerative types, and our desire for less invasive treatment approaches, transcatheter mitral valve therapies (TMVT) have emerged. After more than a decade of advancements, development in TMVT still…

Over the past 30 years, several percutaneous transcatheter technologies and devices for interventions in structural heart diseases (SHDs) have been introduced (see Table 1). There are numerous technologies that are in development or are currently being used to treat patients with SHD that use transcatheter techniques. The variety of percutaneous treatment approaches has led to a revolution and…

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common abnormality, occurring in 20–34% of the population.1 In the majority of infants, closure of the foramen ovale occurs soon after birth, as negative intrathoracic pressure associated with the first breaths closes the PFO. In some cases, the primum and secundum atrial septa fail to fuse and closure remains incomplete. There is continuing communication between…

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is common and occurs in 20–34% of the population.1 In most infants, the foramen ovale closes soon after birth, with a reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance raising the left atrial pressure above that of the right atrium during the first few breaths, closing the septum. In a significant proportion of individuals, the primum and secundum atrial septa do not fuse, and…

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.
