Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using a PFO Occluder After an Incomplete Surgical Ligation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The case regards a 73‐year‐old male who was referred for consideration of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. His left atrial appendage was ligated during prior mitral valve surgery, but was noted to be patent on a recent transesophageal echocardiography. An Amulet device was selected based on CT planning.

Double Transeptal Puncture for SAPIEN M3 Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement: Initial Experience, Indications, and Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The SAPIEN M3 system has been recently approved for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). The transeptal guide sheath is used to deploy the dock, which is completely released before inserting and deploying the M3 valve using the same femoral access, transeptal puncture (TSP) and guide sheath.

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Primary cardiac neoplasms: Coexistence of papillary fibroelastomas of the tricuspid valve and myxoma of the mitral valve

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2020
Both cardiac myxomas and papillary fibroelastomas are primary benign cardiac tumors, but it is very rare for tumors with different histologies to occur in different valves of the same heart. A 5-month-old infant underwent resection of a mitral valve mass

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

The role of cardiac acoustic biomarkers in monitoring patients with heart failure: A systematic literature review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 980-997, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure (HF) creates a considerable clinical, humanistic and economic burden on patients and caregivers as well as on healthcare systems. To attenuate the significant burden of HF, there is a need for enhanced management of patients with HF.

The carcinoid that doesn't select – the role of preoperative echocardiography in carcinoid heart disease

Cardiologia Hungarica
Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is associated with neuroendocrine tumours and carcinoid syndrome, most commonly affecting the right heart valves, potentially associated with right heart failure which determines the poor survival.

Role of Nitric Oxide in the Remodelling of Extracellular Matrix in Myxomatous Mitral Valve Degeneration of Dogs and Pigs

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2011
Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) or endocardiosis is a heart valve disease that occurs in many mammalian species, especially in humans, dogs and pigs. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the MMVD development.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1474-1478, April 2025.
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.
