Highlights include: Due to the aging population and improvement in diagnostic strategies, the prevalence of heart valve disease is expected to double by 2040 and triple by 2060.As As a result, it is estimated that the number of patients requiring heart valve interventions will increase significantly in the coming decades.

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring (MViR) using third-generation balloon-expandable aortic transcatheter heart valves was associated with a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation (MR) and improvement in heart failure symptoms at one year, with the tradeoff of elevated valvular gradients and a high rate of reintervention, according to a recent (..)

Rates of concomitant tricuspid valve (TV) intervention at the time of left-sided heart valve surgery were high at the time of mitral valve surgery (50% when mitral stenosis, 41% when MR). An increase in TR grade was associated with a more severe clinical presentation and a poorer 6-month survival ( p < 0.0001).
