Published: October 2014

Osteosarcoma is a rare cardiac malignant tumor. This case of cardiac osteosarcoma presented with atrial fibrillation. Initial echocardiogram demonstrated mitral valve echodensity and mitral valve regurgitation. Surgery and histopathological examination identified the tumor as an osteosarcoma. Tumor grade appeared to be prognostically important in cardiac sarcoma, with poor prognosis in high-grade tumors.

Background: This study aimed to assess right ventricular (RV) endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) in fetuses with critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) and to investigate the implications of RV EFE for circulatory outcomes.

Methods: Fetal echocardiographic data from July 2018 to January 2021 were collected. Three reviewers independently graded EFE based on the presence and extent of endocardial echogenicity.

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification (MAC), in which the core of the calcification undergoes a caseous transformation. CCMA can cause dysfunction of the mitral valve or embolization of caseous material, requiring surgery. There is currently no clear consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for CCMA.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to assess the impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on the clinical prognosis of patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).

Methods: As of August 2024, relevant studies were identified through searches of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases. A comprehensive screening process was conducted, with quality assessment performed utilizing the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS).

Background: There are few reports about the one-stage surgery of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) + mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) around the world. TAVR + M-TEER surgery is usually performed under the simultaneous guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and echocardiography. There is no report of TAVR surgery assisted only by echocardiography all over the world.

Temporal profiling of M-TEER-related complications.

ESC Heart Fail

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Pulmonology and Vascular Medicine, Medical Faculty, University of Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.

Aims: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (M-TEER) is known for its low complication rates. However, the optimal level and duration of post-procedural care remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific timeframe of post-procedural complications following M-TEER.
