Lessons From the Trenches: Real-World Challenges in Heart/Brain Interventions
This session focuses on the practical challenges encountered in heart/brain interventions, particularly in LAAO and PFO procedures. It aims to provide real-world insights through complex case scenarios, interactive discussions, and shared experiences. Attendees will learn about the decision-making processes involved in managing complications and unexpected challenges during these procedures. The session will cover topics such as the use of different imaging modalities, embolization and perforation risks, device-related thrombosis, residual leak management, and the varied presentations of PFOs.
