Repairing the mitral valve without touching the mitral valve-a novel technique.

J Surg Case Rep

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Royal Papworth Hospital, Papworth Road, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB2 0AY, United Kingdom.

A 44-year-old gentleman presented with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy and mitral regurgitation post-inferior myocardial infarction. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a dilated left ventricle with a large left ventricular aneurysm (9.3 × 9.

Post-capillary hypertension resulting from mitral regurgitation is typically considered a contraindication for single lung transplantation due to heightened risks of primary graft dysfunction. This case report highlights a 66-year-old COPD patient with severe mitral regurgitation who was deemed ineligible for surgical mitral replacement. As an alternative, transcatheter mitral valve replacement was successfully performed, resulting in the normalization of pulmonary artery pressures.

Hyperacute Effects of Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair on Left Ventricular Volumes and Functions.

Am J Cardiol

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an effective intervention for high-risk patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), but its acute impact on left ventricular (LV) function has not been well studied using advanced echocardiographic techniques. This study investigated the immediate effects of TEER on LV volumes and functions, as well as their influence on mid-term outcomes, using high-resolution 3D transesophageal echocardiography. In 80 patients undergoing TEER for severe MR (mean age 79±8 years, 49% with primary MR), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and stroke volume significantly decreased (161±61 to 147±54 ml and 69±18 to 50±15 ml, respectively), while end-systolic volume increased (92±60 to 97±45 ml; p<0.

Peripheral Vascular Emboli in Patients with Infective Endocarditis are Common.

J Vasc Surg

January 2025

Department of Surgery, Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and places patients at risk for subsequent peripheral vascular emboli. Our goals were to analyze the incidence of peripheral emboli and their associated complications and outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective single-center review of all patients with IE from 2013-2021 was performed.
