From Innovation to Integration:
The Next Chapter in Structural Heart Therapies
Over the past decade, transcatheter innovation has redefined what is possible in cardiovascular care. The success of aortic therapies has set a new standard—and now, the mitral and tricuspid spaces are entering their own era of transformation. What once seemed aspirational is becoming reality, as novel devices, imaging technologies, and AI-driven tools reshape the therapeutic landscape for patients once deemed untreatable.
Yet, true progress extends beyond technology. It lies in integration—translating innovation into sustainable, accessible, and patient-centered care. The challenge ahead is not only to innovate, but to implement: to ensure durability, reproducibility, and equitable global reach.
The Atrio Ventricular Academy Meeting (AVAM 2026) continues to serve as a catalyst for this transformation. In Bordeaux, we will gather the world’s leading clinicians, engineers, and innovators to explore the data, share real-world experience, and debate the pathways that will define the next generation of valve therapies.
Through open exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence, AVAM is helping to build a future where mitral and tricuspid interventions are safe, effective, and universally accessible.
Let us continue to bridge science and compassion, discovery and delivery, vision and reality. Together, we are not just advancing technology—we are shaping the future of heart valve disease prognosis and treatments.
Looking forward to seeing you in Bordeaux.
