Overview

This exclusive, invite-only webinar delivers a structured, imaging-led approach to transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER). The programme will focus on building a reproducible framework for mitral and tricuspid valve assessment. Attendees will learn how to apply a step-by-step protocol using TEE to evaluate valve anatomy, define landing zones and differentiate disease aetiology. The session is 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 agenda combines focused teaching with case-based application. Faculty will demonstrate standardised mitral and tricuspid imaging workflows, including sweep optimisation, deep transgastric views and multiplanar reconstruction. Real-world cases will reinforce key principles, with practical guidance on overcoming imaging challenges and identifying TEER suitability. 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott. 

Attendance is by invitation only.
