Procedural, in-hospital, and follow-up clinical outcomes were evaluated after procedures.ResultsThe average age of the 130 patients was 71.24.4 All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. years old, 55.4%
These key takeaways from the research letter on IVL-facilitated valvuloplasty for severely calcified mitral valve stenosis are published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) Cardiovascular Interventions. We are looking forward to treating patients who have no other options for mitralstenosis diseased valves.”
BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Poverall=NS) were nonsignificant, and the incidence of overall in-hospital complications was comparable among groups. In the matched population, differences in mortality (30 days: 4.2%
Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) is a good and preferred therapy choice over surgical commissurotomy for patients with rheumatic mitralstenosis (MS). Conversely, AF leads to a lower PBMV success rate as well as worse long-term and in-hospital outcomes.
BACKGROUND:Patients with paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis exhibit low transvalvular flow rate (Q), while maintaining preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) also causes a low-flow state, adding complexity to diagnosis and management.
Heart team processes, mandatory attendees and investigations vary significantly between hospitals. We assessed outcomes following mitral valvular surgery in a tertiary referral centre with a dedicated mitral multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Between 2016 and 2020, 395 patients with mitral valvular disease were discussed at MDT.
BACKGROUND:This study aimed to compare the incidence and prognostic implications of new-onset conduction disturbances after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortic stenosis (AS) versus patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) AS (ie, BAV-AS and TAV-AS, respectively).
We know that structural heart disease and heart failure are the leading causes of hospitalization and morbidity in the U.S. Standalone performance for significant major valve disease pathology (aortic stenosis and regurgitation and mitral and tricuspid regurgitation) had a 93 percent sensitivity and 93 percent specificity.
Abstract Worldwide, valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common cause of hospitalization for acute heart failure. In acute heart failure caused by VHD, symptoms result from rapid haemodynamic changes and subsequent decline in cardiac function, and if left untreated, leads to acute decompensation and cardiogenic shock.
BackgroundAortic stenosis (AS) in combination with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has occasionally been reported. Immediately after the procedure, significant systolic anterior motion and mitral regurgitation developed, necessitating a surgical mitral edge-to-edge repair.
“We can now provide strong data that in this low-risk patient population, you could very safely offer TAVR vs. SAVR,” said Moritz Seiffert , MD, professor of cardiology at BG University Hospital Bergmannsheil , Ruhr University Bochum in Bochum, Germany, and one of the study authors.
Although low BP can be seen in those hospitalized with signs of shock, the most common scenario involves non-severe, asymptomatic hypotension in patients receiving foundational therapy for HFrEF, where premature down-titration or discontinuation of GDMT should be avoided.

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitralstenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come.
It also allows for less blood loss, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and a lower chance of infection. Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement: If the mitral valve, which can be found between the heart’s left atrium and left ventricle, is unable to function properly, its flaps thicken or stiff, and oftentimes fuse together.
Introduction:Accurate detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) clot is critical in patients before Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV). A total of 150 patients admitted to a tertiary hospital underwent both TTE and TEE before BMV, with TEE as the reference standard for evaluation.Results:The mean age of our study population was 41.4
A 2D echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 43%, hypokinesia of the anterior and intraventricular septum from base to apex, and severe mitralstenosis. However, during his hospital stay, the patient experienced hemorrhagic conversion and altered sensorium. An open-heart surgery was considered.
Category 2 : An increase in myocardial oxygen demand due to tachycardia, elevated ventricular afterload (BP or aortic stenosis), or increased wall stretch (admittedly this latter is more complicated) or a decrease in oxygen supply due to hypotension, anemia, hypoxia, or a combination of all of the above. Aortic Stenosis f. g/dL, WBC 7.4
Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitralstenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.
There is ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of abnormal loading conditions, such as aortic stenosis, or hypertension, for example – of which the most common variant is Asymmetric Septal Hypertrophy. This worried the crew of potential acute coronary syndrome and STEMI was activated pre-hospital.
If it were me, I would get values at the level of the mitral valve, papillary muscles, and apex (all in PSS axis). She was treated medically for NonSTEMI, pending next day cath, which showed ulcerated plaque and a 60% thrombotic stenosis in the LAD distal to the first diagonal. I have been wrong before though! It was stented.

Cardiology services were consulted at a PCI capable hospital. More troponin values were measured at the cardiac center: 2327- 267 ng/L 0821- 355 ng/L 1108- 305 ng/L An echocardiogram on day three of the patients admission showed an ejection fraction of 46% with abnormal basal inferior and basal lateral segments, and severe aortic stenosis.
