Management of bicuspid aortic valve disease in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era

Heart BMJ

In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those with trileaflet anatomy.

Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair for Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPatients with severe mitral regurgitation and cardiogenic shock demonstrate a poor prognosis. The primary outcome was device success and allcause death, while secondary outcomes included myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization rates at 30day and intermediateterm followup.

Efficacy and safety of anti-thrombotic therapy after surgical mitral valve repair: a scoping review

Open Heart

Background Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation, yet there is ongoing controversy regarding optimal anti-thrombotic therapy post-MVr. The RCT found edoxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for thromboembolic outcomes, but not for bleeding.

Spotlight on Advancements in Mitral Valve Repair, Research

DAIC

Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. In the past, heart surgeons corrected a faulty mitral valve by replacing it with an artificial one during open-heart surgery. It can, in some cases, lead to death.
