Background: Traumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation is a rare condition related to blunt chest trauma. In the early phase, the patients may remain asymptomatic. Progressive tricuspid regurgitation leads to the development of symptoms thereafter.

- Stroke is a significant risk following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and this study aimed to determine if patterns from CT scans can predict stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIA) in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
- The research included 124 patients and found that stroke/TIA occurred in 9.6% of cases; late-phase filling defects (FDs) in the left atrial appendage (LAA) were significantly linked to stroke, while early-phase FDs showed some correlation, particularly with lower density values.
- The study concluded that ongoing LAA filling defects observed in late-phase CT scans and certain density criteria from early-phase scans may enhance the assessment of stroke risk, suggesting a
Objectives: Memo 4D is a semi-rigid ring with an exclusive saddle shape and progressive increased anteroposterior diameter. This preliminary analysis reports 30-day clinical and haemodynamic outcomes of the MANTRA Memo 4D sub-study.
Methods: MANTRA is an 'umbrella' prospective, multicentre, worldwide post-market study to collect real-life safety and performance data on the Corcym devices.
Article Synopsis
- Over the past 50 years, more invasive cardiovascular procedures have been performed worldwide, increasing risks of acute brain injury during and after these interventions.
- Current international guidelines often overlook the issue of acute brain injury from cardiovascular procedures, which can lead to worse medical outcomes and higher healthcare costs.
- The international Consensus Statement aims to provide recommendations for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this acute brain injury while also highlighting areas where more research is needed.
