Course description: 

This intensive one-day course aims to educate and train participants in utilizing 2D, Doppler, and 3D TEE techniques for procedures such as TAVR, TEER, PVL and ASD/PFO closure, left atrial appendage closure (WATCHMAN), and transseptal approaches. Participants will gain specialized knowledge in patient screening, procedural guidance in the hybrid OR and cath lab settings, and post-procedural assessment for both successes and complications. 

In cases of complex structural heart disease, the full appreciation of anatomy extends beyond 2D echocardiography alone. 3D echocardiography proves invaluable for the comprehensive evaluation of anatomy, detailing the relationship of catheters and devices in percutaneous procedures within three-dimensional space. Real-time 3D TEE enhances intra-procedural guidance during catheter-based interventions.

The speaker for this course will be Philip Haines, MD, MPH, MS, MRCP
