Workshops
PERSONALIZED WORKSHOPS WITH MASTER OPERATORS
Workshops sessions will be moderated by 1-3 faculty members in personalized educational sessions for maximum of 10 attendees.
Each of the sessions will have a short lecture of the topic and technique followed by hand- on sessions with simulators, devices, or technology required for each of the cases.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2020
Morning Session
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
1. Imaging Planning for Aortic and Mitral Interventions
Moderators: Drs. Giselle Baquero and Peter de Jaegere
Description: Attendee will be instructed on different scenarios for aortic and mitral valve interventions planning using computed tomography scan imaging. Planning for aortic stenosis, aortic valve in valve interventions, percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve replacement, mitral valve in valve.
Lunch Session
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
2. Intra-coronary Imaging and Physiology IVUS/OCT/iFR/FFR
Moderators: Drs. Carlos Alfonso and Michael Dyal
Description: Attendee will be instructed on the different intra-coronary imaging and physiology techniques for percutaneous coronary artery (PCI) optimization. Will be instructed in the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and iFR/FFR guided interventions.
Afternoon Session
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
3. Mitral Valvuloplasty Technique and Spectrum of Use
Moderator: Drs. Robert Cubbedu and Igor Palacios
Description: Attendee will be instructed on mitral stenosis interventions with mitral valvuloplasty technique.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
4. PFO/ASD Closures
Moderators: Drs. Pablo Rengifo Moreno and Igor Palacios
Description: Attendee will be instructed on techniques for PFO and ASD closure and to prepare and use the devices designed for these interventions.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020
Morning Session
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
5. Management of Calcified Lesions
Moderators: Drs. Subhash Banerjee, John Lasala, Cesar Mendoza and On Topaz
Description: Attendee will be instructed on the use of different techniques and devices for the management of complex calcified coronary lesions. Attendee will be instructed on the use of rotational atherectomy, orbital atherectomy and laser atherectomy.
Lunch Session
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
6. Advanced Cardiac Imaging for Complex Structural Interventions (ICE-TEE):
Moderators: Drs. Giselle Baquero, Fermin Garcia, Pankaj Jain and Brijeshwar Maini
Description: Attendee will be instructed on the use of intracardiac ultrasound (ICE) for advance structural interventions as transeptal puncture, PFO and ASD closure, left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, and anatomy assessment. Attendee will be instructed on the use of trans-esophageal ultrasound (TEE) for advance structural interventions as transeptal puncture, left atrial appendage closure (LAA), mitral clip procedures and anatomy assessment.
Afternoon Session
3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
7. Transeptal Puncture:
Moderators: Drs. Joao Braghiroli, Ignacio Inglessis-Azuaje and Raul Mitrani
Description: Attendee will be instructed on different techniques and devices used in transeptal punctures, as well as differences in techniques for puncture for different procedures as mitral clip, LAA closure, transmitral valve interventions (percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve replacement, mitral valvuloplasty) and different electrophysiology interventions as ablations.
4:45 PM – 5:45 PM
8. Large Bore Access and Closure
Moderators: Drs. Subhash Banerjee, Mauricio Cohen and Peter de Jaegere
Description: Attendee will be instructed on different scenarios of challenging large bore access, as significant calcified iliac arteries and closure devices.
