AI Article Synopsis
- Transcatheter valve implantation is a procedure used for patients with severe calcific mitral stenosis who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
- The report discusses the successful direct deployment of the Sapien 3 valve in the mitral position during sternotomy in two cases.
- This approach was performed on an arrested heart, highlighting an innovative technique for managing challenging mitral valve conditions.
Article Abstract
Transcatheter valve implantation in the mitral position with severe calcific mitral stenosis has been described in patients who are at an increased risk for conventional mitral valve surgical procedures. We report the direct deployment of the Sapien 3 valve in the mitral position with severe mitral annular calcification through a sternotomy in an arrested heart in two cases.

Comparison of mitral valve repair versus replacement for mitral valve regurgitation.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a prevalent valvular abnormality categorized as primary or secondary based on aetiology. Surgical intervention, particularly mitral valve repair, is often preferred over replacement due to its association with better outcomes. However, the benefits of repair versus replacement, especially in secondary MR, remain debated.

: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common condition observed in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS). However, the impact of TAVI on MR outcomes and the factors predicting MR improvement remains uncertain. Understanding these predictors can enhance patient management and guide clinical decisions.

Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is characterized by a pathological process impacting the left ventricle (LV) as opposed to the mitral valve (MV). In the absence of structural alterations to the MV, the expansion of the LV or impairment of the papillary muscles (PMs) may ensue. A number of technical procedures are accessible for the purpose of determining the optimal resolution for MR.

In recent decades, the advantages of minimizing surgical trauma have led to the development of minimally invasive surgical procedures. While the benefits often outweigh the risks, several challenges are encountered that are not present in conventional surgical approaches. Unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) after mitral interventions performed through a right-sided approach is a rare but potentially life-threatening event.

: Two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging are commonly used in assessing ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) and degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) in patients with mitral valve disease. However, the use of 4D echocardiographic imaging has not yet been reported. The objectives of this study were to explore the efficacy of utilizing 4D echocardiographic variables, determine papillary muscle displacement in patients with either IMR or DMR, and compare the differences in papillary muscle displacement between groups.
