Scripps 15th Annual Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging 2026
Introduction
The Scripps 15th Annual Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging 2026 program delivers an advanced, case-based educational review of structural heart disease interventions, transcatheter therapies, and contemporary cardiovascular imaging strategies. Developed through Scripps Health, this multidisciplinary course examines the rapidly evolving field of catheter-based structural heart intervention with a strong emphasis on procedural imaging, patient selection, perioperative management, and complication prevention.
Held on February 12–13, 2026, the program combines expert-led lectures with live case-based education focused on transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), patent foramen ovale closure, and emerging structural heart technologies. The curriculum also highlights advanced procedural imaging using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), cardiac CT, MRI, and multiplanar 3D imaging guidance.
Faculty include interventional cardiologists, echocardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and sonographers who provide practical insight into multidisciplinary structural heart management, imaging integration, procedural planning, and long-term patient outcomes.

Why This Course Is Important
Structural heart disease intervention has rapidly transformed cardiovascular medicine through the expansion of minimally invasive transcatheter therapies and sophisticated imaging-guided procedural techniques. Advances in TAVR, TEER, TMVR, TTVR, LAA closure, and complex valve interventions now require close collaboration between imaging specialists, interventional cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and multidisciplinary structural heart teams.
At the same time, procedural success increasingly depends on advanced echocardiographic guidance, CT planning, 3D ICE integration, complication prevention strategies, and accurate patient selection. Structural heart specialists are now expected to navigate highly complex procedural anatomy, peri-device complications, hemodynamic challenges, and evolving guideline recommendations across multiple transcatheter therapies.
The Scripps 15th Annual Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging 2026 course addresses these demands through a clinically focused educational framework emphasizing procedural imaging, live case review, multidisciplinary collaboration, and real-world management strategies relevant to modern structural cardiology.
