Percutaneous Mitral Valve-in-Ring Procedure in a Case of Severe Mitral Regurgitation Repaired with a Surgical Flexible Ring: A Step-by-Step Description.

Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following surgical repair of the mitral valve poses a significant clinical challenge. Patients who have undergone surgery are typically at high risk for a second operation. This report details the case of a 54-year-old male who underwent aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair using a 34-ring, 14 years prior.

Comparison of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring with and without Training: Does Adherence to the Recommended Instructions Overlook Hypertension?

Background: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is commonly used to diagnose hypertension (HT), with a diagnostic threshold of ≥135/85 mm Hg, the same as daytime ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). This study hypothesizes that training and adherence to HBPM guidelines will yield more accurate BP readings compared to ABPM.

Methods: The study involved 129 patients with elevated office BP but no prior HT diagnosis.

Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm: A Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Aortic rupture is a rare and catastrophic emergency. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are the primary determinants of mortality. During follow-up, the majority of patients who have been effectively treated die from hypovolemic shock and multiorgan failure.

Mitral-Tricuspid Regurgitation Change After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Its Effect on Mortality and Hospitalization.

Objective: Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are present in approximately 20-60% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aims to evaluate the impact of TAVI on MR and TR, pulmonary hypertension, and reverse cardiac remodeling in these patients.  Methods: Out of 240 patients who underwent TAVI, 79 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed.
