Background: A small mitral valve area (MVA) is one of the challenging anatomies for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation, but the relationship between baseline MVA and clinical outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association of baseline MVA with procedural and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TEER with MitraClip from the OCEAN-Mitral registry (Optimized Catheter Valvular Intervention-Mitral).
Methods: A total of 1768 patients undergoing TEER were divided into 3 groups according to baseline MVA: group 1: <4.

Left atrial appendage closure is widely performed in cardiac surgery to prevent intracardiac thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation. Herein, we report the surgical case of an 80-year-old man whose left atrial appendage became aneurysmic long after undergoing suture exclusion. At the age of 67, he underwent mitral valve annuloplasty and left atrial appendage suture exclusion for mitral regurgitation and chronic atrial fibrillation at our institution.

A 73-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to fever and right lower limb pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed occlusion from the right common femoral artery to the right superficial femoral artery and from the left common iliac artery to the left internal and external iliac arteries, leading to a diagnosis of bilateral acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremity. Emergency thrombectomy was performed to improve arterial blood flow.

Background: Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms and limited treatment options. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is complicated by altered cardiac geometry, advanced restriction, and potential amyloid valve deposits.
Case Summary: We present the case of dual TEER in a 79-year-old male with advanced transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) and severe symptomatic mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.
