Comparison of Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair for Primary Mitral Regurgitation Outcomes to Hospital Volumes of Surgical Mitral Valve Repair

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair (TEER) is an effective treatment for patients with primary mitral regurgitation at prohibitive risk for surgical MV repair (MVr).

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Ascending aortic diameter was the single predictor of 1-year mortality in type 0 bicuspid patients (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.03–2.44];P=0.035).

Left atrial dysfunction relates to symptom onset in patients affected by severe degenerative mitral regurgitation

Cardiovascular Ultrasound

Left atrium (LA) is far from simply being a passive connection chamber between left ventricle and the pulmonary circulation. In patients affected by mitral regurgitation (MR) an impairment in LA compliance and.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement With Atrial Fixation for Treatment of Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Many patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation are not suitable candidates for surgery or transcatheter repair. Technical success and mitral regurgitation reduction from severe to none/trace were achieved in all cases.

Abstract 4142124: Transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair in a patient with symptomatic SAM and LVOT obstruction following surgical robotic mitral valve repair

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142124-A4142124, November 12, 2024. Background:Persistent systolic anterior motion (SAM) following robotic mitral valve repair can lead to symptomatic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
