Symposium Details

This symposium will focus on failure of this right sided valve. Topics will include it’s structure, advanced disease, optimal management, patient selection in current inteventions. How to support the failing right ventricle and state of the art management strategies; pharmacological, surgical and device related.  Advanced imaging and patient selection for intevention.
