This webinar willl feature two experts discussing anesthesia management for edge-to-edge valve repairs with percutaneous clips using intraoperative TEE guidance.   

After participating in this activity, participants will be able to: 

1. Appreciate the components of preprocedural preparation for mitral valve TEER and why this is imperative for intraoperative procedural success 

2. Be aware of the devices available for mitral valve TEER 

3. Become familiar with the intraprocedural procedural steps for MV TEER and the associated TEE imaging required  


This event is moderated by CAS Cardiovascular and Thoracic Section Dr Diem Tran. (bio)

SpeakerDr Adam Dryden (bio)  

After participating in this round, participants will be able to: 

1. Anticipate flow of procedural steps for mitral valve TEER 

2. Understand the intraprocedural echocardiography for MV TEER 

3. Identify changes in anesthetic care that can facilitate procedural success
