Article Synopsis
- The treatment of high-risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is debated, but a two-stage hybrid approach may offer a solution.
- Two successful cases are presented where patients underwent transcatheter mitral valve repair followed by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, showing stability without worsening MR.
- This two-stage treatment strategy could be an ideal option for those patients due to its effectiveness in maintaining hemodynamic stability.
Background: Degenerative severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is increasingly prevalent in the aging population, leading to the adoption of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as a less invasive alternative. While TAVR indications have expanded, the procedure is associated with a substantial incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The study aims to establish a preoperative risk-stratification system for TAVR candidates based on Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SLV) and other relevant factors.

Mitral stenosis severity evaluation is challenging in the setting of combined aortic stenosis and mitral stenosis because of hemodynamic interactions between the 2 valve lesions. The impact of aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe aortic stenosis on mitral stenosis is unknown.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Mitral stenosis (MS) is often concomitant with aortic stenosis (AS). However, little is known about the functional status following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) alone in patients with severe AS and MS and the impact of TAVR for AS on MS hemodynamics.
Methods: We enrolled 11 patients (age 83.
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) is an important risk factor for progression of aortic valve stenosis (AS). However, there are varying degrees of disease progression among patients with AS on HD. The aim of this study was to find determinants of rapid progression of AS in patients on HD.
