The 15th SEOUL VALVES 2026 will be held at COEX in Seoul over two days from Thursday, August 6 to Friday, August 7.

Hosted by the CardioVascular Research Foundation (CVRF) (Chairman Seung-Jung Park, Endowed-Chair Professor of the Division of Cardiology from Asan Medical Center) and sponsored by the Asan Medical Center Heart Institute, SEOUL VALVES has established itself as one of the leading academic meetings in the Asia Pacific region, marking its 15th edition this year.

The symposium will bring together leading cardiology experts from around the world to share the latest advances in the treatment of heart valve diseases, including aortic valve disorders, and structural heart diseases, while discussing future directions in the field.

This year's symposium will feature extensive discussions on advanced heart valve interventions, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), bicuspid aortic valve disease, valve-in-valve procedures, pure aortic regurgitation, and tricuspid and mitral valve interventions. Participants will share the latest clinical data and practical insights gained from extensive procedural experience.

The faculty includes world renowned experts in cardiovascular medicine, such as Eberhard Grube of Germany, Alan C. Yeung and David Joel Cohen of the United States, Kentaro Hayashida of Japan, and Cheung Chi Simon Lam of Hong Kong. They will be joined by distinguished faculty members from the Asan Medical Center Heart Institute, including Endowed-Chair Professor Seung-Jung Park, Professors Duk-Woo Park and Jung-Min Ahn from the Division of Cardiology at Asan Medical Center.

The symposium's signature Live Case Sessions will feature participation from leading cardiovascular centers, including Asan Medical Center, Seoul National University Hospital, and Severance Hospital in Korea, as well as Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, the National Heart Centre Singapore, and The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China. A total of 13 highly complex heart valve intervention cases will be broadcast live, providing participants with a unique opportunity to engage in in depth discussions on treatment strategies and the key procedural steps involved in each case.

The Case Presentation Sessions will showcase outstanding clinical cases selected through a rigorous review process from submissions received worldwide. Next generation cardiologists will present real world cases based on their clinical experience, while expert panelists will provide professional insights into treatment approaches and procedural strategies. In addition, keynote lectures highlighting the latest research findings in the field of heart valve disease, together with interactive question and answer sessions, are expected to provide valuable opportunities for participants to exchange diverse perspectives and academic insights with globally renowned experts.

In addition, satellite symposia will be held to introduce procedural cases utilizing advanced medical devices and to discuss their practical applications in clinical settings. Exhibition booths at the venue will also provide participants with opportunities to explore a wide range of interventional devices and innovative technologies presented by industry partners.

Early registration is open until Friday, July 24, while on site registration will also be available during the symposium. Detailed program information and additional details can be found on the official website at SEOUL VALVES 2026 official website.
