Structural heart interventions series. 2) Mitral and tricuspid valves: What, how, when?

A series on structural heart interventions, this talk aims to understand the anatomy of mitral and tricuspid valves, anatomical procedural considerations.

An overview of the update on current practice (guidelines) and imaging modalities is presented whilst aligned with patient section criteria and illustrating procedural techniques and case studies.

• Update on current guidelines.
• Imaging for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair considerations.
• Anatomical correlations aid better understanding and assessment of the heart pathology as seen on imaging.
