A New Technique for Aortic Annular and Outflow Enlargement: Combined Y-Incision and Nicks Procedures.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.
In the valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) era, implanting a larger-sized valve during the initial aortic valve replacement is important. For smaller aortic annuli, combining aortic annular and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) enlargement is essential. The Y-incision procedure helps achieve implantation of a 2-size larger valve.

Background: A subset of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), a highly heritable condition, experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, the inheritance of phenotypic imaging features of arrhythmic MVP remains unknown.
Methods: We recruited 23 MVP probands, including 9 with SCA/SCD and 14 with frequent/complex ventricular ectopy.

To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET::CREB fusion transcript. The clinical and imaging data of 6 cases of intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET::CREB fusion from December 2018 to December 2023 were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Their histological features, immunophenotype and molecular characteristics were analyzed.

Background: Information about left atrial (LA) 2-dimensional (2D) strain parameters in patients with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate LA strain (LAS) in COVID-19 patients with the Omicron variant and compare it to that of propensity-matched patients with the wild-type (WT) variant.
Methods: A total of 148 consecutive patients who were hospitalized with Omicron COVID-19 underwent an echocardiographic evaluation within the first day after hospital admission and were compared to propensity-matched patients (1:1) with the WT variant.

Article Synopsis
- ARVC is a rare genetic condition that increases the risk of serious heart problems and requires effective risk assessment to prevent severe cardiac events.
- A study involving 83 ARVC patients showed that those experiencing major adverse cardiac events (MACE) had notably lower right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RV GLS) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) compared to those without MACE.
- The findings suggest that measuring RVFWLS can be a better predictor of MACE than traditional echocardiographic methods for assessing right ventricular function.
