Track: Interventional Cardiology and Structural Heart Disease

Interventional Cardiology Conference

Interventional cardiology continues to redefine what is achievable without open surgery. TAVI now accounts for the majority of aortic valve replacements across all surgical risk categories, and transcatheter therapies are rapidly expanding to mitral and tricuspid valve disease. The Interventional Cardiology & Structural Heart Disease session examines 5-year TAVI outcomes in low-risk patients, the COAPT-established evidence base for transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER), emerging transcatheter tricuspid therapies, left atrial appendage occlusion, and physiology-guided PCI using iFR/FFR with intravascular imaging - including chronic total occlusion PCI and complex left main disease management.


Key Discussion Areas:


  • TAVI in low-risk patients: 5-year outcomes and lifetime valve management
  • Transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER): COAPT and real-world outcomes
  • Emerging transcatheter tricuspid valve therapies
  • Physiology-guided PCI: iFR, FFR, and non-hyperaemic pressure ratios
  • Intravascular imaging (OCT/IVUS) in complex coronary intervention
  • Chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI: contemporary techniques and outcomes
  • Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve procedures
  • Left atrial appendage occlusion: updated evidence and device selection


Why Attend This Session?


Interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, structural heart disease teams, and cath lab professionals will gain comprehensive updates on trial evidence, device selection algorithms, and operator technique across coronary and structural heart interventions, bridging innovation with real-world implementation.
