Background: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) using the Tendyne™ valve is regarded as one of the most studied TMVR systems. The first human experience with the procedure was reported in 2013. The present study aims to systemically revise the published literature to document the global experience with TMVR using the Tendyne™ valve.

Methods: The study included 148 patients admitted to eight cardiac surgery centers in Egypt with severe postoperative bleeding.
Background: Dilated left ventricle occurs in chronic aortic and mitral regurgitations. We describe the early outcome of mitral and aortic valve replacement for patients with severely dilated left ventricle in different surgical interventions.
Methods: From March 2014 to December 2018, 620 patients with left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) of ≥ 70 mm underwent valve replacement procedures in 8 cardiac surgery centers in Egypt.
Background: An anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva with an interarterial course is a rare congenital anomaly. We aimed to assess midterm results after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of anomalous RCA arising from the left sinus of Valsalva.
Methods: From 2008 to 2012, 16 patients underwent CABG for treatment of an anomalous origin of the RCA from the left sinus of Valsalva.
