TAVR Trainers
Second season of TAVR trainers program has been made possible by an educational grant from Medtronic.
The technologies being discussed may not be approved for use in your country.
Key learning points of the program:
Learn how to use cardiovascular CT to optimize clinical outcomes in TAVR with a focus on annular sizing, device selection, and reduction in complications.
Identify which clinical and anatomical factors influence device selection for TAVR, and how to plan the lifetime management of patients with aortic stenosis
Tips & tricks to safe and successful TAVR using self-expanding and balloon expandable valves
Identify complications in TAVR procedures such as coronary occlusion, conduction abnormalities, and vascular access injury
Understand how to perform TAVR in both bicuspid valve disease and valve-in-valve procedures
