Overview

Gain expert-led insights into transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) through this CME-accredited online course, following the live interactive symposium at Transcatheter Interventions Online 2025 (TIO).

 

Explore patient selection, device-specific design and procedural techniques through engaging case-based discussions, led by Dr Tarun Chakravarty (Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, US), Dr Firas Zahr (Oregon Health and Science University, US) and Dr Tom Cahill (John Radcliffe Hospital, UK). The expert faculty highlight the unmet clinical need in the US, supported by real-world data and outcomes.

Support Statement

This symposium is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Edwards Lifesciences.
