Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic valve. It appears often isolated or sometimes associated with other truncal anomalies, and approximately 50% of patients have aortic regurgitation. In this article we reported an eight-years-old boy referred with diagnose of rheumatic carditis from the outer medical center.

Background/purpose: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with ACURATE neo2 showed better hemodynamic outcomes by mitigating paravalvular leakage (PVL) compared with ACURATE neo, and revealed promising one-year outcomes in single-arm studies. However, studies comparing the hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of the two valves are still scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the one-year hemodynamic and clinical outcomes between the neo2 and neo.

Background: Lower mini-sternotomy offers the advantage of providing excellent visualization of the 4 cardiac cavities, allowing surgical treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves as well as any intra-cavitary procedure. Technical issues, as well as safety and echocardiographic results of this approach, are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe outcomes of lower mini-sternotomy to treat valvulopathies and other intracardiac surgeries.

Background: Interleaflet haemorrhage (IH) plays a well-recognized detrimental role in calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, IH-induced fibro-osteogenic responses in valvular interstitial cells (VICs) appear to be triggered under specific pathological conditions. Iron deficiency (ID), a common co-morbidity in CAVD, may influence these responses.

Aortitis, defined as inflammation of the aorta, can lead to aneurysms and dissections. Intra-operative sampling is essential for diagnosis, with many cases presenting asymptomatically as clinically isolated aortitis. Previous studies investigating aortitis in major aortic surgery have been limited by low intra-operative sampling.
