Hyderabad, November 18th, 2024: The 3rd edition of the Hyderabad Valves, established in 2019 with the mission to advance non-surgical methods of valve replacement such as TAVI, TMVR, and TPVR, concluded today at The Park Hyatt, Hyderabad.
This event was dedicated to the memory of Prof. Alain Cribier, a pioneer who performed the world’s first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in 2002 and devoted his life to training colleagues worldwide in this transformative technique. Hyderabad Valves 2024 honoured his legacy with this scientific program meticulously designed to ensure a rich academic experience.
The Hyderabad Valves Scientific Committee crafted a comprehensive program to provide all attendees with the insights and skills necessary to enhance or begin structural heart programs in their own cities, says Dr. P C Rath, Sr. Cardiologist and Course Director, Hyderabad Valves.
The unique gathering, returning in full force following the challenges of the global pandemic, offered an invaluable platform for professionals to connect, share, and learn from pioneers in the field. Leading cardiovascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists from India and beyond guided this two-day program, featuring in-depth discussions on 12 complex structural heart cases.
The highlights of Hyderabad Valves 2024 included over 25 live case studies from around the world, with six cases broadcast from Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. The agenda covered advanced topics such as TAVR with various valve platforms, TAVR Valve-in-Valve with valve fracture techniques, TMVR with LAMPOON, BASILICA, and more.
This event represented a new chapter of growth and mutual learning within the field, and all participants returned with fresh expertise to elevate their practices, says Dr. Manoj Kumar Agarwala, Sr. Cardiologist and Course Director.
