Aims: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with a strong genetic basis. This study aimed to identify a mutation in a family with MVP and to characterize the valve phenotype in LTBP2 knockout (KO) mice.
Methods And Results: Exome sequencing and segregation analysis were performed on a large family with MVP.

Introduction: The severity of mitral stenosis (MS) is commonly assessed using mitral valve area (MVA) measured with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The dimensionless index (DI) of mitral valve (MV) was recently studied in degenerative MS. We evaluated DI MV in rheumatic MS and studied its relationship with clinical outcomes.

Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare lesions with fragile arterial walls located within the aneurysms, carrying a high risk of rupture. Standard management often involves antibiotic therapy and parent artery occlusion; however, the latter carries a significant risk of cerebral infarction. This report presents a case of an unruptured IIA following cerebral infarction, successfully treated with coil embolization while preserving the parent artery.
