Overview

In this satellite symposium, 'Severe Aortic Stenosis: Stratifying Patients for Lifetime Management', hear from leading faculty as they consider when to use a surgery or TAVI-first approach, summarise clinical evidence to date and assess possible management scenarios by way of clinical cases.

 

This symposium is part of Transcatheter Interventions Online 2022, a world-class virtual event dedicated to transcatheter treatment strategies for coronary and structural heart disease.

Support Statement

This programme is supported by unrestricted educational grants from Edwards Lifesciences. The scientific programme has not been influenced in any way by the sponsors.
