Let’s Talk TAVI Webinar | Femoral Access in TAVI: Fluoroscopic vs Ultrasound Guidance

Описание: As part of the India Heart Foundation’s Let’s Talk TAVI CME initiative, this webinar features Dr. Peter Andreka (MD, PhD Gottsegen Hungarian Institute of Cardiology) offering deep insights into one of the most critical aspects of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: femoral access techniques.

Focusing on Fluoroscopic vs Ultrasound Guidance, Dr. Andreka explores:
Patient selection and case planning
Percutaneous vs surgical access choices
Strategies to prevent and manage vascular complications
Why TAVI practitioners should be trained in vascular interventions

This session not only addresses the anatomical and procedural challenges of accessing the femoral artery—it also highlights the evolving skillsets required in structural heart therapies.
