Aortic stenosis is the second most common valvular disease in the United States and the most common type of heart valve disease of the aging population. It is present in about 5% of the population at age 65 and the prevalence increases to more than 20% in advanced age patients. The number of cases of aortic valvular disease continues to increase because of the ageing populations in the service area. It is deceptive in onset and frequently associated with other comorbidities. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rapidly evolving treatment for severe aortic stenosis especially for patients who are too ill to have open heart surgery or have failed other surgical treatments. However, uncertainties exist for optimal valve selection as there are few long-term studies comparing patient survival by valve type. This conference reviews specific cardiovascular cases from MCI to determine best practices, clinical approaches, and appropriate valve characteristics for optimal patient outcomes. The cases present a disciplinary problem(s) for which learners devise solutions under facilitation of the primary planner or physician facilitator. This approach utilizes collaborative learning, facilitates the integration of learning among multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams, encourages learner self-reflection and critical reflection, allows for scientific inquiry, integrates knowledge and practice, and supports the development of a variety of learning skills while optimizing patient outcomes through a team approach.

1. 1. Analyze the treatment of aortic stenosis and its different presentations.
2. 2. Identify improvement opportunities related to the care associated with the diagnosis of aortic stenosis.
3. 3. Critically analyze the management of identified MCI TAVR cases to improve health outcomes.
