LJ: TAVR/VALVE Case Conference 2026

The TAVR/VALVE Case Conference is a regularly scheduled educational series designed to review and discuss complex cases involving transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and other structural heart interventions. This interdisciplinary forum brings together cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, imaging specialists, anesthesiologists, and other health care professionals to evaluate patient selection, procedural planning, and outcomes. Through evidence-based discussions and collaborative learning, the conference aims to optimize clinical decision-making, improve procedural success, and enhance patient outcomes in the management of valvular and structural heart disease.

1. Analyze complex TAVR and valve intervention cases to identify key clinical, anatomical, and procedural considerations that impact decision-making and outcomes.
2. Integrate current guidelines, clinical trials, and emerging research to inform patient selection, procedural planning, and post-procedural care for TAVR and structural heart interventions.
3. Improve proficiency in interpreting imaging modalities (e.g., echocardiography, CT, MRI) to guide diagnosis, procedural planning, and follow-up for valve repair or replacement.
4. Strengthen communication and teamwork among members of the heart team, including cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, imaging specialists, and nursing staff, to ensure seamless care coordination and decision-making.
5. Evaluate patient-specific factors, including comorbidities, frailty, and anatomical considerations, to determine the most appropriate intervention strategy for each individual.
6. Identify opportunities to minimize procedural complications, improve safety protocols, and enhance long-term outcomes through a culture of continuous quality improvement.
7. Review strategies for the management of post-procedural complications, long-term surveillance, and patient education to maximize procedural success and quality of life.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity

It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
