Assessment of coronary sinus anatomy between normal and insufficient mitral valves by multi-slice computertomography for mitral annuloplasty device implantation [PDF]
Introduction: Latest techniques enable positioning of devices into the coronary sinus (CS) for mitral valve (MV) annuloplasty. We evaluate the feasibility of non-invasive assessment to determine CS anatomy and its relation to MV annulus and coronary ...

When Is the Optimal Timing of Surgical Intervention for Severe Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation?
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a serious pathology to be noted for severe right heart failure (HF) and poor prognosis; however, the conventional assessment of TR has some limitations and the optimal timing of surgical intervention remains ...

Abstract Aims We aim to evaluate the real‐world effectiveness and safety of the Carillon Mitral Contour System (CMCS) for indirect annuloplasty in patients with heart failure (HF) and secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). Methods and results This was a single‐centre retrospective study of 204 consecutive patients (age 83 ± 6 years, 68% female, 72 ...
