Biphasic Right Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Following Tricuspid Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

Background: Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has been reported to be associated with right ventricular reverse remodeling (RVRR). Data on the temporal evolution of this phenomenon are scarce.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate RVRR over the course of 2-year follow-up after T-TEER using sequential 3-dimensional echocardiograms (3DE).

Relevance of residual tricuspid regurgitation for right ventricular reverse remodelling after tricuspid valve intervention in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and right-sided heart failure.

Aims: Right ventricular reverse remodelling (RVRR) is linked to improved survival in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and right-sided heart failure who underwent interventional treatment. However, the role of residual TR on RVRR remains unclear. In this analysis the impact of residual TR on RVRR after interventional TR treatment, which was validated by two independent cohorts at four sites using echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, was investigated.

Applying the TRILUMINATE Eligibility Criteria to Real-World Patients Receiving Tricuspid Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

Background: According to the TRILUMINATE (Clinical Trial to Evaluate Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Treated With the Tricuspid Valve Repair System) trial, transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) improves quality of life beyond medical treatment, while no effects on heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and survival were observed at 1 year. However, the generalizability of the TRILUMINATE trial to real-world conditions remains a subject of discussion.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to apply the clinical TRILUMINATE inclusion and exclusion criteria to a real-world T-TEER patient group and evaluate symptomatic and survival outcome in TRILUMINATE-eligible and TRILUMINATE-ineligible patients.

Mentalization-enhancing therapeutic interventions in the psychotherapy of anorexia nervosa: An analysis of use and influence on patients' mentalizing capacity.

Objective: Improvement in patients' mentalizing capacities is considered a possible mechanism of change in psychotherapy. This improvement might take place via mentalization-enhancing interventions (MEIs) performed by psychotherapists. The study aimed to explore the use of MEIs in two evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments for patients with anorexia nervosa (enhanced cognitive-behavior therapy, focal psychodynamic therapy) and their association with the patients' capacity to mentalize in sessions ("in-session reflective functioning" / in-session RF).
