2024 VALVE IMPLANT SYMPOSIUM

The 2024 Valve Implant Symposium presents a comprehensive one-day educational event exploring advanced interventional echocardiography techniques, focusing on valve pathology, imaging guidelines, and emerging technologies for Aortic, Mitral, and Tricuspid valve interventions, including TAVI, TMVI, and TTVI procedures. The symposium features expert presentations covering clinical applications, patient selection strategies, imaging protocols, and innovative approaches such as Chat GPT-assisted personalized medicine in structural heart disease management.
