Workshops
PERSONALIZED WORKSHOPS WITH MASTER OPERATORS
Workshops sessions will be moderated by 1-3 faculty members in personalized educational sessions for maximum of 15 attendees*.
Each of the sessions will have a short lecture of the topic and technique followed by hands-on sessions with simulators, devices, or technology required for each of the cases. *Pre-registration is required and schedule is subject to change.

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.
3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
7. Transeptal Puncture:
Instructors: Dr. Joao Braghiroli
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
Instructors: Drs. Mauricio Cohen and Nicolas Van Mieghem
