Background: Three-dimensional printing (3D) has emerged as an alternative to imaging to guide left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device sizing.
Aims: We assessed the usefulness of 3D printing compared to a standard imaging-only approach for LAAC.
Methods: We identified studies comparing an imaging-only with a 3D printing approach in LAAC.
In acute severe aortic regurgitation, an inversion of pressure gradient from the left ventricle to the left atrium causes the classical sign of end-diastolic mitral regurgitation. Here we present a case of mid-diastolic mitral regurgitation in a 51-year-old man with severe aortic regurgitation secondary to infective endocarditis. ().

- Rivaroxaban can help treat blood clots in the heart's left ventricle (LV thrombi).
- It took about 30 days for the blood clots to go away.
- More research is needed to figure out the best way to use this medicine and how to combine it with other treatments.
Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) patients typically remain asymptomatic for a long time. Left ventricular mechanics, namely global longitudinal strain (GLS), has been associated with outcomes in AR patients. The authors conducted a systematic review to summarize and appraise GLS impact on mortality, the need for aortic valve replacement (AVR) and disease progression in AR patients.
