Scripps Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging 2026

Course Overview

The Scripps Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging 2026 course
delivers a practical, case-based review of modern structural heart disease
interventions and cardiovascular imaging.

The program emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration and brings together
expertise from interventional cardiology, echocardiography, electrophysiology,
cardiothoracic surgery, anesthesiology, and cardiac imaging.

Key topics include patient selection, pre-procedural evaluation, imaging
integration, transcatheter techniques, procedural challenges, complication
management, outcomes, and emerging innovations in structural heart care.

Learning Objectives

• Build and optimize multidisciplinary structural heart teams.
• Identify equipment and imaging technologies used in structural interventions.
• Apply TTE, TEE, ICE, CT, and MRI for structural heart assessment.
• Review current indications for LAA closure, PFO closure, TAVR, TMVR, and TEER.
• Evaluate imaging before and after LAA closure and recognize potential complications.
• Select appropriate treatment strategies for mitral and tricuspid valve disease.
• Use live TEE multiplanar imaging to optimize mitral and tricuspid interventions.
• Apply 2D and 4D ICE during structural heart procedures.
• Recognize and manage risks such as LVOT obstruction and coronary occlusion.
• Integrate emerging evidence into TAVR decision-making.
• Understand emerging interventional strategies for selected heart failure patients.
• Optimize anesthetic management during TEER and TMVR.
• Apply best practices for managing complications of catheter-based therapies.
