3 WELCOME MESSAGE The meeting is motivated by the increasing interest in the new techniques for the transcatheter treatment of degenerative aortic stenosis and of mitral insufficiency. The ageing of population in the developed countries leads to an increase in the prevalence of these valvular diseases. Elderly patients are at higher risk for cardiac surgery, and are often denied conventional surgical treatment. In order to put a transcatheter valve programs into effect, it is necessary that all the different specialists involved in the management of these patients collaborate with one another: clinical cardiologists, echocardiographers, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardio-anesthesiologists. Knowledge of the various cardiovascular imaging techniques is also of paramount importance. Furthermore, with the increasing number of percutaneous valve procedures, clinical cardiologists need to know how to screen and follow-up these patients. Primary aim To broaden knowledge on the new transcatheter treatments for valvular diseases, with particular attention to patient selection, imaging techniques, and short- and long term patient care. I am looking forward to meeting you in Pisa
