Background: Undergoing an urgent valve surgical procedure to treat patients with tricuspid valve endocarditis carries a high risk of operative morbidity and mortality. Use of a percutaneous vacuum-assisted system to treat tricuspid valve endocarditis is an alternative to surgical procedures.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 187 transcatheter vacuum-assisted aspiration procedures performed in 177 patients with tricuspid valve vegetations at 3 different centers between 2017 and April 2022.

We report a case of a woman who underwent mitral ring and tricuspid annuloplasty. Two months later, she presented with acute heart failure secondary to severe aortic regurgitation, which was a complication of the cardiac surgery. Given the high surgical risk of reoperation in this the patient, she underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation, with a good result.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a complex condition with various hemodynamic subtypes, each with distinct clinical profiles and outcomes. This study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of different AS phenotypes based on flow and gradient patterns.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included 930 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe symptomatic AS at Mayo Clinic sites from 2012-2017.

Aims: Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are the most common valvular heart diseases in patients with heart failure (HF). Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) devices designed for treating MR and TR have been successfully tested in randomized controlled trials, but methodological issues have often challenged their interpretation. This manuscript aimed to provide an overview of TEER registries on SMR and TR in HF, highlighting their key features, describing clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving these devices, and exploring the available data limitations.

Background: Post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but has very serious implications. Managing PI-VSR using transcatheter closure (TCC) presents varying challenges depending on the patient's condition. The aim of this study is to present a highly challenging case of multiple VSRs as a complication of AMI.
