Contemporary Transcatheter Approaches to Mitral Regurgitation

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a prevalent and prognostically relevant valvular disease, especially in patients with heart failure, in whom MR contributes to adverse remodeling, increased symptom burden, and higher mortality. Surgical repair or replacement

Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Behind the Scenes of a Long-Time Neglected Disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation has been for a long time a neglected valve disease, which has only recently attracted an increasing interest due to the notable negative impact on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. It is estimated

Aortic valve repair in 2026 — state of the art: what every cardiologist should know

Cardiology Journal
Aortic valve repair (AVr) has evolved into a reproducible surgical strategy for selected patients with aortic regurgitation (AR), offering preservation of native tissue, avoidance of prosthesis-related complications, and favorable long-term outcomes when

Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix‐Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 1332-1334, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Infective Endocarditis Diagnosed by Emergency Physicians Using Cardiac POCUS: A Case Series

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Emergency physicians (EPs) are acquiring ever‐increasing expertise in cardiac point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS). We compiled this case series to demonstrate current practice by EPs diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) using POCUS.

Dynamic annuloplasty for mitral regurgitation [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
The MiCardia DYANA annuloplasty system (MiCardia Corp, Irvine, Calif) is a nitinol-based dynamic complete ring that allows modification of the septal-lateral diameter under transesophageal echocardiography guidance in the loaded beating heart after mitral valve repair. Shape alteration is induced by radiofrequency via detachable activation wires.

The Novel ACTC1 p.Gly50Ser Variant Is Associated With Arrhythmia and Secondary Features of HCM Without Hypertrophy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1742-1748, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The key diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the presence of otherwise unexplained hypertrophy. Current definitions of HCM rely on specific thresholds to establish a diagnosis, while guideline directed risk stratification algorithms take its magnitude into consideration.

Simultaneous Transvenous Lead Extraction and Intra‐Operative Epicardial Extravascular Defibrillator (EV‐ICD) Implantation During Tricuspid Valve Replacement

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Transvalvular device leads are undesirable following tricuspid valve replacement. Simultaneous lead extraction and intra‐operative EV‐ICD implantation can provide ongoing defibrillator therapy without crossing the prosthetic valve and may avoid the need for additional pacing hardware when atrioventricular conduction is preserved.
