Background: Atrial secondary mitral valve regurgitation (ASMR) is a distinct anatomical subset of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). Evidence of the effect of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on left atrial (LA) anatomy and function, especially reverse remodelling (LARR), is still sparse.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients treated with TEER for mitral regurgitation (MR) in our centre between January 2013 and October 2023.

Introduction: Assessing the severity of mitral stenosis (MS) is crucial for predictive and therapeutic purposes. While methods like planimetry and Pressure half time (PHT) are considered gold standard for measuring mitral valve area (MVA), they can be operator-dependent or influenced by hemodynamic factors. Our study evaluates the accuracy of mitral leaflet separation index (MLSI) as an alternative tool for assessing rheumatic MS severity, considering its independence from hemodynamic variations.

Early-onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) is a severe and rare form of Marfan syndrome characterized by severe atrioventricular valve insufficiency developing before or shortly after birth. It is unclear which factors (interventions and/or genotype) influence survival. Forty-one individuals with eoMFS with a fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) variant in exon 24-32 (CRCh37) were included.
