Since arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is still an under-recognised clinical entity, its 'deceitful' course requires alertness of physicians, and - in particular - awareness of its less typical manifestations. Therefore, we present a case report of a 52-year-old male subject with signs and symptoms of right ventricular heart failure and marked tricuspid regurgitation.

This case details the successful implantation of a leadless pacemaker following the extraction of transvenous leads in a 72-year-old female patient with a complex cardiovascular history. The patient had undergone a series of cardiac interventions, including a recent percutaneous tricuspid valve repair with a metal clip implant due to severe regurgitation. After presenting with an infection at the pacemaker site, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus hominis was identified, necessitating the removal of the entire pacing system.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a potentially lethal condition and represents a significant clinical challenge both for clinical and interventional cardiologists. Traditionally managed medically and surgically, transcatheter therapies are now an emerging option, especially in patients with prohibitive surgical risk due to age or comorbidities. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is emerging as a potential solution for patients suffering from TR with positive clinical data supporting its use in a wide range of anatomies and clinical settings.

Background: Prognosis assessments for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remain challenging, particularly as the indications for TAVI expand to lower-risk patients. This study assessed the prognostic value of the tricuspid regurgitation impact on outcomes (TRIO) score in patients after TAVI.

Methods: This single-center study included 530 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI.

An 85-year-old woman with long-standing atrial fibrillation and severe tricuspid regurgitation presented with worsening symptoms and massive right atrial enlargement (RAE). The patient experienced shortness of breath even during minimal exertion, such as walking within her house, which significantly impacted her daily activities. Surgical intervention, including tricuspid valve replacement and right atrial plication (RAP), led to significant symptomatic relief and improved pulmonary function.

Background: Survival beyond one month of age is rare in children born with obstructed infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). There are limited data available on surgical outcomes of the same subset. We conducted this retrospective study to identify risk factors associated with surgical outcomes in this patient population.
