Course Overview

Structural heart interventions have revolutionized the treatment of valvular heart disease, congenital heart defects, and complex cardiac conditions. Advances in catheter-based therapies and cardiovascular imaging have expanded treatment options for patients previously considered inoperable or high-risk surgical candidates.

The Scripps Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging Conference 2024 focuses on integrating advanced imaging with structural interventions to improve procedural success, reduce complications, and enhance long-term outcomes. Faculty review current guidelines, patient selection criteria, procedural techniques, imaging strategies, and emerging technologies shaping the future of structural heart care.
