Structural heart intervention series. 1) ASD: What, how, when?

A series on structural heart interventions, this talk aims to understand the anatomy of a range of structural heart defects.

An overview of the update on current practice (guidelines) and imaging modalities is presented whilst aligned with patient section criteria and illustrating procedural techniques and case studies.

• Understand anatomy of atrial septal defects (ASDs).
• Anatomical correlations aid better understanding and assessment of the heart defect as seen on imaging.
• Update on current guidelines relevant to interventions on the defect.
• Discuss patient selection criteria.
• To illustrate procedural techniques and case studies.
