This course is designed to enhance student knowledge of the interventional procedures performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory that address valvular disease, septal defects, and vascular disease. Transcatheter structural heart repair devices deployed in the cath lab have largely replaced open-heart surgery as the therapy of choice and many labs are incorporating vascular procedures into cardiac cath. Patient preparation, medical instrumentation, and performance of these procedures will be presented.
