What Is TVT?
OVERVIEW
Transcatheter valve therapy is a growing treatment option for patients with valvular heart disease and is at the core of TVT Connect.
The maturation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the rapid adoption of transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies have changed the landscape of the treatment of structural heart disease, and this virtual conference will reflect this evolution and expansion.
The modern integration of noninvasive cardiac imaging, surgical therapies, heart failure management, and novel transcatheter approaches makes the treatment of structural heart disease truly multidisciplinary, further emphasizing the importance of continuing education for professionals diagnosing and caring for those with complex valvular and structural heart disease.
TVT Connect is designed to provide a valuable learning experience for all members of the heart team from clinical practitioners, healthcare professionals, and academicians to engineers and scientists and everyone in between.
We welcome anyone interested in treating valvular and structural heart disease—including clinical cardiologists, cardiac imaging specialists (especially those focused on echo and CT), cardiac and vascular surgeons, electrophysiologists, heart failure specialists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, cath lab technologists, and members of the medical device community—to join us at TVT Connect this June.
