On-Cart Cropping Analysis (2 hours) [ticketed session]

10 registrants – two registrants to each US platform (GE/Philips)

focus: intra-op decision making

Primer session [WED Nov 18 | 6:30 - 8:30pm] - before main course

This session is highly recommended for those who are new to 3DE technology or for

users seeking a refresher before the course begins. It will introduce participants to the

analysis software tools and provide a step-by-step framework for analyzing 3DE

datasets, using straightforward yet clinically relevant cases to demonstrate the standard

workflow employed throughout the remainder of the two-day course. The primer session

will prepare users for the cropping sessions associated with the course, where some

prior familiarity with 3DE analysis is expected.

"On-Cart" Cropping Session [FRI Nov 20 | 7 - 9pm] - after main course

This session introduces practitioners to 3DE TEE in the Cath lab (covering common

workflows such as right heart hemodynamics and ASD device closure) and the

operating room (simple to complex post-op valve repair scenarios). Participants will

learn rapid image acquisition and analysis, review common echo artifacts, and receive

step-by-step workflow guidance. The session is limited to 10 participants, with 2

participants per ultrasound platform to enhance the practical learning

experience.

Advanced Session [FRI Nov 20 | 7 - 9pm] - after main course

This session, held at the end of the two days course is for confident or experienced

users who wants to challenge themselves. The format is a user working through a

"real-life" clinical case with minimal guidance, utilizing both 2DE and 3DE

datasets. The facilitator will demonstrate a suggested approach at the end of each case

for discussion. The clinical scenarios are complex, such as DORV, complex valves and

unusual anatomy. Not for one faint of heart!

We are pending accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. A certificate will be provided to participants after the event. Make sure to fill out our feedback survey to get your certificate.

What previous attendees say ...

" This course was excellent and gave a solid foundation to get started scanning 3D for a newbie... the team did an amazing job! It was a very efficient course, stayed relevant to the topic and hands-on stations made excellent use of time. Well worth it and an excellent use of 2 days!"

*****

"Enjoyed the opportunity to learn 3D tricks from the Philips & GE vendors. Excellent conference especially given the challenges of sharing your presenters' expertise in a 2-day course."

*****

" I appreciate sharing cases that were challenging and didn't go as expected (patient outcome)"

 *****

"Great session - informative and practical advice given with good case selection and explanations."

 *****

"This was one, if not the best lectures I have ever attended. The material was organized and was presented in a thoughtful manner."

*****

Advanced cropping session!
