Multivalvular heart valve disease is not an uncommon situation. Although many studies include only patients with regurgitation or stenosis involving only one heart valve, several scenarios in which patients present with regurgitation and/or stenosis involving two or more valves exist. Data on multivalve disease are scarce because of a large number of possible combinations and also owing to difficulties of exact quantification and an overlap in surgical indications. Therefore, many fields related to multiple valve disease are not encountered in the current valvular heart disease guidelines. This article aims to explain multi valvular heart disease from etiology and background definition to surgical outcome, with special emphasis on echocardiographic assessment.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the immediate and long-term outcomes of the Cox-Maze IV procedure in patients undergoing surgical treatment for multivalvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation. It also sought to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period.
Materials And Methods: We conducted an analysis of 92 patients who underwent multivalvular heart defect correction and simultaneous Cox-Maze IV procedure between 2017 and 2023.
Objective: To evaluate the immediate outcomes and safety of simultaneous Maze procedure in patients with isolated and multivalvular heart disease via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of postoperative outcomes included 21 patients with various valvular heart diseases and atrial septal defects with atrial fibrillation. All patients underwent heart valve surgery with cryoablation (left atrial, right atrial or biatrial «Maze» approach) via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mitral regurgitation (MR) are common valvular conditions encountered in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This retrospective study investigates the impact of moderate or severe TR and MR on all-cause mortality in 1-year post-TAVR patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent TAVR at the 3 academic tertiary care centers in our health system between 2012 and 2018 were identified.

Rheumatic multiple valvular heart disease remains undertreated and underestimated in older patients; many are unaware of their diagnosis until they experience complications. This case series presents 3 older patients with undiagnosed rheumatic multiple valvular heart disease who presented with complications, describing their valvular assessment and therapeutic outcomes.
