- This study evaluated the 30-day outcomes of the MitraClip XTR procedure for patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), focusing on how the coaptation gap sizes (CGS) affected results.* -
- A total of 50 symptomatic TR patients were treated, achieving 100% technical success, with significant reductions in TR severity and improvements in functional class across all patient subgroups.* -
- Results indicate that the MitraClip XTR is a safe and effective treatment option for a broader range of CGS, with patients experiencing better functional capacity, especially those with a CGS of less than 10 mm.*
We investigated performance and outcome of the latest-generation balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 Ultra prosthesis (S3U) compared to the established SAPIEN 3 prosthesis (S3) in a real-world cohort, with focus on paravalvular regurgitation (PVR). PVR is an adverse prognostic indicator of short- and long-term survival after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The S3U has been designed to improve sealing.

For left anterior descending (LAD) MB, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass via a lower ministernotomy can be offered.
Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients who underwent elective minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery from 2005 to 2014 via an inferior sternotomy using the left internal mammary artery as a bypass graft for LAD MB were evaluated retrospectively.
