ABSTRACT Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a recognized complication after surgical mitral valve replacement and may cause heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or hemolysis when moderate or severe. Although redo surgery is the definitive treatment, it carries substantial risk in elderly patients or those with multiple prior cardiac surgeries.

Graphical abstract summarizing a case of new‐onset HFrEF associated with profound microcytic anemia, highlighting severe anemia as a potential reversible trigger of acute cardiac decompensation. ABSTRACT Severe microcytic anemia may serve as a potentially reversible precipitating factor in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This case

Iatrogenic non-coronary leaflet perforation as a complication after robotic mitral valve repair
Iatrogenic aortic regurgitation secondary to leaflet injury is a rare complication of mitral valve surgery. For the first time, we report a patient who had progressive aortic regurgitation due to non-coronary leaflet perforation after robotic mitral ...

Patient survival characteristics after routine mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation
BackgroundIschemic mitral regurgitation has been associated with diminished survival compared with nonischemic mitral regurgitation. Conversion from mitral valve replacement to valve repair has improved prognosis, but it is unclear whether ischemic ...

ABSTRACT This case describes a female infant with RAF1‐related Noonan syndrome who developed severe hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiorespiratory failure that responded to trametinib treatment but ultimately progressed to death following dose tapering and discontinuation of therapy. To the best of our knowledge,

Two Cases of Post‐Operative Coronary–Cameral Fistulas After Unusual Myectomy Procedures
Post‐surgical coronary–cameral fistulas (CCF) can occur after various myectomy procedures. Here we present one case of CCF after resection of the hypertrophied RV muscle bundle in double‐chambered RV (DCRV) and one case of CCF after subaortic web resection.
