Background: The new Amplatzer device has been used with success for occlusion of the perimembranous ventricular septal defects and the index of complications is very low.

Results: The reported case corresponds to a very rare severe acute tricuspid stenosis, caused by adherence of the prosthesis to the anterior tricuspid leaflet.

Conclusion: Device release was achieved by manipulation on the tricuspid apparatus.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a complex condition with various hemodynamic subtypes, each with distinct clinical profiles and outcomes. This study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of different AS phenotypes based on flow and gradient patterns.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included 930 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe symptomatic AS at Mayo Clinic sites from 2012-2017.

A 70-year-old man presented to our hospital with chest discomfort and epigastric pain. Echocardiography revealed a giant atrial myxoma in the right atrium with severe tricuspid regurgitation. The aortic valve was calcified, and severe aortic stenosis was observed.

Aortic valvuloplasty for bicuspid aortic valve carries a risk of postoperative stenosis. We evaluated the haemodynamic differences between aortic valvuloplasty for bicuspid aortic valve, tricuspid aortic valve, and aortic valve replacement by echocardiography. We also assessed whether a higher postoperative pressure gradient affects the outcomes of aortic valvuloplasty for bicuspid aortic valve.

Prenatal Predictors and Early Postnatal Outcomes in Fetuses Diagnosed with Tricuspid Atresia.

To assess the prenatal course and early postnatal outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and to identify predictors of survival. This was a retrospective study of 25 fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia in a single tertiary referral center, evaluating prenatal echocardiographic features and postnatal outcomes. A total of 4 of 29 initially diagnosed fetuses were excluded due to changes in diagnosis or loss to follow-up, leaving 25 fetuses for analysis.

Right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain has emerged as a crucial tool for evaluating RV systolic function in patients with heart disease. The complex anatomy of the RV presents challenges for functional assessment, traditionally conducted using conventional parameters, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and RV fractional area change. While these conventional methods are simple and practical, they have limitations in reflecting the majority of global RV systolic function.
