Congenital
Join Me in Phoenix
With the rapid development of new transcatheter devices for the treatment of congenital heart disease, I’m excited about this year’s CHD track theme of “Tools of the Trade.” The sessions and live cases will focus on innovative ways to use available tools, both old and new. I am also looking forward to our joint tricuspid valve session with the structural track on transcatheter TV repair and replacement.
