• State the implications of MRI data in decision making for surgical and transcatheter approaches to pulmonary regurgitation
• Discuss current percutaneous options for therapy regarding mitral regurgitation
• Describe indications for surgery for asymptomatic aortic insufficiency
• Discuss the current application of echocardiography, including 3D imaging, in pre- and postoperative assessment and management of mitral regurgitation
• Discuss the problems of 2D aortic root & leaflet measurements for surgical planning
• Discuss how 3DTEE can be used to assess the aortic root and leaflets
• Educate the Audience about indications for pulmonary valve replacement
• Discuss technical aspects of percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement
• Review mechanisms of tricuspid regurgitation
• Demonstrate echocardiographic evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation
• Review the indications for surgical repair of patients with Tricuspid Regurgitation
• Review the indications for surgery of patients with Mitral Regurgitation
• Review indications for surgical repair, surgical techniques and outcomes in patients with Aortic Insufficiency
• Review indications for surgery and outcomes in patients with Pulmonary Regurgitation
• Describe potential advantages of left atrial appendage occlusion transition from Fellowship to group practice
• Indicate Fellows consideration for hospital “employment” practice models
• Describe the role of an academic cardiologist.
