Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common cause of valvular heart disease in Western nations. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative therapy for inoperable or high-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Three-dimensional imaging techniques provide multiplanar imaging, allowing precise measurements of the noncircular aortic annulus and complex anatomy of the aortic root. These measurements influence patient eligibility, allow adequate prosthesis sizing, and determine the success of implantation and likelihood of complications. This review compares imaging modalities and addresses their strengths and weaknesses to assess the aortic annulus and other aortic root structures.

Complicated infective endocarditis of the bioprosthetic mitral valve following the transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve procedure: a case report and literature review.

Background: Since the transcatheter valve-in-valve (ViV) procedure was introduced in 2007, a few cases of infective endocarditis (IE) following the ViV procedure have been reported, which can be predisposed by older age, pre-existing medical conditions, and procedural techniques. Paravalvular abscesses constitute a rare complication of IE, resulting from extending IE beyond the valve annulus, less commonly caused by species. This complication is more common in prosthetic valves, particularly bioprosthetic valves.

Previous studies evaluated the prognostic role of hematological parameters in predicting outcome in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). However, only a few studies evaluated the role of hematological parameters in patients undergoing surgery for IE. The aim of this study was to review our 20-year experience with the treatment of native (NVE) and prosthetic (PVE) valve endocarditis and to evaluate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to monocyte ratio (NMR), and systemic inflammatory index (SII) on early and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for NVE and PVE.

Purpose: This study evaluates the use of deep learning techniques to automatically extract and delineate the aortic valve annulus region from contrast-enhanced cardiac CT images. Two approaches, namely, segmentation and object detection, were compared to determine their accuracy.
Materials And Methods: A dataset of 32 contrast-enhanced cardiac CT scans was analyzed.

Background: Anatomic considerations of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have an important role for the procedure planning, but sex-specific data are lacking.
Methods: All eligible cases undergoing evaluation for TAVI procedure in the period from November 2019 to July 2023 at the University Hospital of Split were included. Cardiac computed tomography was analysed to derive the measures of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), aortic root, ascending aorta, and ilio-femoral arteries.
