Transcatheter Aortic and Mitral Valve Replacements
Amid rapid growth in transcatheter valvular interventions computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a pivotal noninvasive imaging resource that can be used throughout many stages of the transcatheter heart valve process, enhancing procedural success and efficacy. It affords a three-dimensional assessment of the aortic and challenging saddle-shaped mitral

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in Patients With Previous Aortic Valve Replacement
Background: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may mature to become a therapeutic option for high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR), particularly in patients at high or prohibitive surgical risk.

Systematic approach to dilated cardiomyopathy diagnosis. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a clinical diagnosis characterized by the presence of left ventricular dilatation and systolic disfunction unexplained by abnormal loading conditions or coronary artery disease.

Does the degree of preoperative mitral regurgitation predict survival or the need for mitral valve repair or replacement in patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery? [PDF]
BackgroundAnomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery causes severe myocardial ischemia, global left ventricular dysfunction, and annular dilatation producing varying degrees of mitral regurgitation.

OBJECTIVES Whether to repair or replace the mitral valve for patients with significant mitral regurgitation undergoing aortic valve replacement is still controversial. METHODS From January 1990 to December 2011, a total of 663 patients underwent aortic

Quality of life after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair: results from the Tri.FR trial
This study is one of the first randomised trials to demonstrate that transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (T‐TEER) yields substantial and sustained improvements in quality of life across multiple domains, beyond clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]
Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).
