Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) develops rapidly in recent years. With its more and more mature technique, TAVI has opened a new era of valve disease treatment. This procedure has been carried out widely in western countries. Since March 2010 when Academician JunboGe led his team to successfully carry out the first TAVI, many centers in China started to perform this procedure and have made remarkable achievements.

Columbia HeartSource has rich experience and globally leading expertise in TAVI. Academician JunboGe and Professor YingqiangGuo (West China Hospital of Sichuan University) will join hands with Professor Allan Schwartz and Professor Craig Smith from Columbia HeartSource to have an in-depth conversation on the clinical application and skills on TAVI, and current status of TAVI at home and abroad.

Drvoice.cn will live webcast this excellent activity. You’re welcome to view it and have interactions with the experts.
