Background: Repair of the regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve is an attractive alternative to valve replacement. Although good long-term outcomes have been reported, postoperative aortic stenosis remains a major late cause of repair failure in bicuspid aortic valves. Sinus plication is effective for creating a more symmetrical commissural angle, leading to a decrease in the mean transvalvular pressure gradient.

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.

Left atrial appendage closure is widely performed in cardiac surgery to prevent intracardiac thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation. Herein, we report the surgical case of an 80-year-old man whose left atrial appendage became aneurysmic long after undergoing suture exclusion. At the age of 67, he underwent mitral valve annuloplasty and left atrial appendage suture exclusion for mitral regurgitation and chronic atrial fibrillation at our institution.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients are more predisposed to aortic regurgitation. Annuloplasty is a crucial therapeutic intervention, however, determining its ideal size remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to quantify the effects of varying annuloplasty sizes on treating BAV regurgitation, providing optimal size range for effective treatment while avoiding complications.

We present a modified technique of Hemispherical Aortic Annuloplasty Reconstructive Technology (HAART) 200 annuloplasty ring implantation in bicuspid aortic valve morphology by external fixation of the looping sutures to avoid common complications associated with the original implantation technique. Preliminary results are promising and should be confirmed in subsequent multicentre studies.
