The second group of Women Interventionists sponsored by SOLACI has started the training on structural disease as part of our scholarship program at the Instituto Cardiovascular de Rosario (ICR).

The program will take place over the course of this week in different centers across Argentina.

During the session, the grant holders were able to attend 2 live transcatheter aortic valve replacements with Evolut and Portico.

Moreover, participants reviewed a TricValve case, 2 left atrial appendage closures with Amulet and Watchman flex, a valve in valve in mitral position, and a mitral paravalvular leak closure.
