Background: In symptomatic high-risk patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR), who are not eligible for surgery, Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) or transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may be an option, especially when surgical mitral valve repair by annuloplasty has been performed earlier. After TMVR, the appropriate anticoagulation regimen is still matter of debate.
Case Presentation: We here report on a 78-year-old frail lady with heart failure and atrial fibrillation who underwent surgical reconstruction of the mitral valve nine years ago.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed how the MELD-XI score affects outcomes for patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.
- The research included 3,535 patients and found that those with MELD-XI scores above 11 had significantly higher in-hospital mortality rates (6.2%) compared to those below (1.5%).
- The findings suggest that higher MELD-XI scores, along with factors like the type of surgery and pre-existing conditions, can independently predict increased mortality risk in CABG patients.

As in the last 4 years, this review focusses on conventional cardiac surgery publications which provide important and interesting information especially relevant for non-surgical colleagues. Interventional techniques have been considered if they were published in the context of classic surgical techniques.
