Press registration now open for Transcatheter Valve Therapies

April 20th, 2011

WHAT:

Press registration is now open for Transcatheter Valve Therapies: An Advanced Scientific and Clinical Workshop (TVT) at http://www.tvtconference.com/conference/press-registration.html. TVT is a unique educational event, offering an in-depth review of the diagnostic and therapeutic options for the treatment of valvular heart disease.

The meeting will feature:

  • Late Breaking Clinical Data
  • Emerging Technologies: Mitral Devices and New Aortic Valve Therapy
  • Vascular Access/Closure
  • TAVR Imaging: CT and ECHO
  • Regulatory Issues

WHY:

Valvular heart disease affects a large number of people who require diagnostic procedures and long-term management. Traditionally, valvular heart disease has been treated with surgical repair or replacement. Over the last several years, however, there have been important advances in concepts, tools, techniques, and patient selection for treatment of valvular heart disease using nonsurgical procedures. Transcatheter valve intervention offers the potential to reduce procedural morbidity, mortality, and costs of surgical valve replacement or repair while accelerating patient recovery.

June 4-7, 2011

WHERE:

Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel

Vancouver, Canada
