We report case of 58-year-old male patient with severe mitral insufficiency in whom in preoperative angiography anomalous left anterior descending coronary artery arising from pulmonary artery was revealed. Patient successfully underwent mitral valve replacement, ligation and bypass of left anterior descending artery. Eighteen months after surgery control exercise echocardiography and angiography were performed to evaluate coronary flow, valve prosthesis and left ventricle function.

Background: The introduction of transcatheter procedures has focused on patient expectations for treatments with a less invasive approach and faster recovery. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and medium-term results in patients who underwent trans-axillary mitral valve repair with application of the ultra-fast-track protocol.

Methods: Data from 431 patients undergoing isolated trans-axillary mitral valve repair or associated with tricuspid valve treatment between January 2018 and December 2023 were prospectively collected.

The 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines advise not to perform mitral valve replacement (MVR) during septal myectomy (SM) to alleviate outflow obstruction. This study aims to review outcomes after concomitant mitral valve (MV) intervention versus SM alone. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across Embase, PubMed, and Scopus.

Cardiac Imaging Department, Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Lugano, Switzerland.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases worldwide. Echocardiography remains the first line and most effective imaging modality for the diagnosis of mitral valve (MV) pathology and quantitative assessment of MR. The advent of three-dimensional echocardiography has significantly enhanced the evaluation of MV anatomy and function.
