The 2022 STS Structural Heart Symposium: Mastery in Mitral Valve and Tricuspid Valve Therapies will equip heart teams with the expertise to employ the most relevant techniques and tools.
August 19, 2022 - August 20, 2022
Venue
Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park
Location
Chicago, Illinois
Register yourself and members of your heart team for the Structural Heart Symposium, where attendees will develop new minimally invasive and transcatheter skills, explore upcoming technologies, and stay relevant in the rapidly changing field of mitral and tricuspid valve therapy. Register by June 21 to receive the early bird discount.
Provide your contact information to receive updates about the event.
The demand for new transcatheter technologies to treat mitral and tricuspid valve diseases continues to grow at a remarkable pace. Originally designed for high-risk patients, these therapies are now being used in lower-risk populations. This course is designed to help ensure that cardiothoracic surgeons and other members of the heart team possess the appropriate knowledge and technical skills to safely and effectively perform transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, and other newer procedures.
The Symposium will feature didactic sessions, case-based presentations, and hands-on demonstrations of the latest devices by a distinguished multidisciplinary faculty that include pioneers in the treatment of structural heart disease.
