Precision in Practice: A Standardised Step-By-Step TEE Protocol for TEER
This follow-on webinar delivered a structured, imaging-led approach to transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER). The programme focused on building a reproducible framework for mitral and tricuspid valve assessment. Attendees learned how to apply a step-by-step protocol using TEE to evaluate valve anatomy, define landing zones and differentiate disease aetiology. The session was designed to strengthen patient selection and procedural planning, supporting more consistent and confident decision-making in TEER interventions.
Led by Dr Federico Asch (Georgetown University, Washington DC, US), Dr Steven Promislow (St Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, CA) and Dr Douglas Wright (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA), the faculty spoke about combined focused teaching with case-based application. The faculty demonstrated standardised mitral and tricuspid imaging workflows, including sweep optimisation, deep transgastric views and multiplanar reconstruction. Real-world cases reinforced key principles, with practical guidance on overcoming imaging challenges and identifying TEER suitability.
This programme was supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott.
