CSI FOCUS WORKSHOP:

NEONATAL INTERVENTIONS

This full day workshop will take place on the first day of CSI Frankfurt, the leading congress on catheter interventions in congenital, structural and valvar heart disease. Attend this workshop for a review of the latest techniques in neonatal interventions. Sessions will include a series of lectures based around clinical scenarios to encourage discussion and to focus on how you and your teams can achieve the best results in these small and delicate patients.

SESSION 1: TECHNIQUES

Vascular access:

core techniques and avoiding complications
advanced techniques (transseptal, transhepatic, hybrid) and avoiding complications

Balloon atrial septostomy-alternative approaches now that the Miller balloon has been withdrawn

Pulmonary valvoplasty - getting it right first time, tips and tricks

Complex pulmonary artery stenosis in the neonate-decision making and approach

Discussion

SESSION 2: HIGH RISK INTERVENTIONS

An institutional approach to high risk interventions in infants less than 2 kg.

Early post-operative interventions in neonates - how early is safe?

Quality initiatives around high-risk interventions in neonates – which ones actually help?

Do hybrid approaches in smaller infants reduce risk?

Interventionalist know thyself – understanding decision making in high risk interventions

Increasing complexity, morbidly and death. Are we psychologically prepared?

Discussion

SESSION 3: NEONATAL PALLIATION

Recorded / Live case transmissions

Anatomic considerations with reference to RVOT stenting

RVOT stenting techniques and equipment

The 5 most important things I've learnt stenting the RVOT

Relative risks of neonatal palliation - how “equal" are the options?

Anesthesia - working together to make neonatal palliation as safe as possible

If there is a choice which is better - a duct or an RVOT stent?

The surgical view:

I prefer an RVOT stent
I don't want an RVOT stent

So is that it - have interventional cardiologists solved neonatal palliation?

Discussion

SESSION 4: CHALLENGING CASE-BASED NEONATAL INTERVENTIONS

Recorded / Live case transmissions

2.9 kg infant with critical aortic valve stenosis and unicuspid aortic valve

2.1 kg infant with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum

1.5 kg symptomatic infant with 5mm PDA

3.9 kg symptomatic post-arterial switch with moderate-sized low muscular VSD

3 kg infant with HLHS and Intact IAS

2.5 kg infant with symptomatic Tetralogy of Fallot and small serpiginous PDA

Discussion

This workshop is part of CSI Frankfurt, the leading conference on congenital, structural and valvar heart disease interventions, which will take place June 24-27, 2020 in Frankfurt, Germany.
