Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair Training

Training Overview

Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair Training is a highly specialized and practice-focused educational program designed for interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, and structural heart team professionals seeking to master transcatheter mitral valve repair techniques. This two-day intensive course provides a comprehensive understanding of mitral valve anatomy, pathology assessment, and contemporary edge-to-edge repair workflows through hands-on simulation, live or recorded case demonstrations, and expert-led clinical discussions.

The program begins with foundational sessions on mitral valve anatomy, echocardiographic screening, and patient selection criteria for primary (degenerative) and secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation. Participants will examine anatomical eligibility frameworks, device sizing, and step-by-step procedural strategies, with a strong focus on precise transseptal puncture, catheter steering, and leaflet grasping.

Through structured hands-on simulation, participants gain practical experience manipulating delivery systems, navigating the left atrium, aligning repair devices, and executing clip deployment on advanced synthetic structural heart models. Dedicated workshops emphasize integrated intraprocedural imaging, catheter trajectory control, and complication management — including clip detachment, mitral stenosis risk, and left atrial access troubleshooting.

Case-based learning components feature complex clinical scenarios, enabling participants to analyze real TEER procedures alongside international faculty. Each session highlights the critical integration of 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and fluoroscopy to guide real-time decision-making, evaluate residual regurgitation, and assess mean pressure gradients.

By the end of this training, attendees will have deepened their theoretical knowledge, refined their tactile skills, and gained confidence in planning and executing successful mitral edge-to-edge repair procedures across diverse anatomical challenges.
