Advances in transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies
Background While rheumatic mitral stenosis has been effectively treated percutaneously for more than 20 years, mitral and tricuspid regurgitation treatment appear as a contemporary unmet need.

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

Mission M-Possible: Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Mitral Annular Calcification Using the Crab-Walk Technique. [PDF]
Background: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) complicates transcatheter interventions for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR), particularly with small mitral valve orifice areas (MVOAs). Case Summary: An 83-year-old woman with severe DMR, severe MAC,

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in a Pregnant Woman: Procedure and Pregnancy Outcomes. [PDF]
Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with left ventricular dysfunction carries a high risk of acute heart failure during pregnancy because of associated hemodynamic changes. Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is currently recommended for symptomatic patients with secondary MR; however, no evidence exists on the use of this ...

Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair of a Functionally Trileaflet Mitral Valve
A trileaflet configuration of the mitral valve is an uncommon anatomical finding that presents unique challenges for transcatheter repair.A 67-year-old man with a history of atrioventricular canal defect and prior mitral valve repair presented with symptomatic severe mitral valve insufficiency due to impaired leaflet coaptation from a cleft dividing ...

Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Severe Mitral Regurgitation With Double-Orifice Mitral Valve
Double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV), a rare congenital heart disease, is the inspiration behind the transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Here we report a successful TEER case in a patient with DOMV with severe regurgitation.
