Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old man with serious heart issues, including a rupture and aneurysm after a heart attack, was in critical condition and received a temporary heart assist device.
- This device helped stabilize his heart function and overall health, allowing him to eventually receive a successful heart transplant.
- The use of the temporary heart assist device shows promise for treating patients with specific complications following a heart attack, not just ruptures.
Mitral Regurgitation in Female Patients: Sex Differences and Disparities.
J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv
May 2023
Mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular disease, particularly in older adults. Recent literature has consistently supported that there are significant differences in mitral regurgitation outcomes between male and female patients and that this is likely multifactorial. Numerous sex differences in anatomy and pathophysiology may play a role in delayed diagnoses, referrals, and treatments for female patients.

Background: Residual mitral regurgitation (MR) following mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is associated with worse outcomes. This study sought to identify echocardiographic predictors of suboptimal residual MR after TEER in patients with secondary MR.
Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we identified all patients with secondary MR who underwent TEER between 2016 and 2021.
Left main coronary artery compression in pulmonary hypertension.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
June 2021
Extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a dilated pulmonary artery (PA) in the setting of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an increasingly recognized disease entity. LMCA compression has been associated with angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death in patients with PAH. Recent studies suggest that at least 6% of patients with PAH have significant LMCA compression.

Methods: Between February 2001 and July 2015, 245 patients received a CMIV and concomitant mitral valve procedure. Patients were separated into 2 cohorts based on their etiology of MVD, degenerative (n = 153) and rheumatic (n = 92).
