Objective: To evaluate the risk for brain lesions in valve in valve (VIV)-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared to native valve procedures (NV-TAVR).
Background: TAVR is associated with the risk of stroke and a high incidence of brain lesions in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI). The risk in VIV procedures is unknown.
Methods: Patients were included, if they received a Sapien-3 or an Evolut-R valve for an NV-TAVR or VIV-TAVR and a DW-MRI within 3-5 days after the procedure.
Results: Two hundred nine patients had NV-TAVR and 41 patients had VIV-TAVR. The VIV group was significantly younger (mean 82.3 vs. 74.7 years old, p < .001) but had higher mean EuroSCORE II (4.8 vs. 7.8, p < .001). Predilatation was significantly more common with native valve (39% vs. 2%, p < .01), postdilatation rate was lower in VIV but without statistical significance (17% vs. 7%, p = .110). Combined in-hospital safety outcome was comparable [13(6.6%) vs. 5(12.2%), p = .205]. Any stroke was documented in four (0.5%) patients after native valve and in one (2.4%) after VIV-TAVR. New DW-MRI brain lesions were significantly more often found in patients with native valves [153(73.2%) vs. 21(51.2%), p = .005], mean number of new lesions was also higher with native valve (2.8 ± 3.2 vs. 1.0 ± 1.4, p < .001). Forward stepwise of logistic regression found age and post dilatation significant predictors of new MRI lesions.
Conclusions: Compared to native valves, VIV procedures were associated with lower incidence and number of brain lesions according to DW-MRI; these were explained by lower patients' age and lower rate of postdilatation.

Usefulness of the "En face view" method for diagnosing perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
J Echocardiogr

Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nagano Children's Hospital, Nagano, Japan.
Background: Perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) can be classified as having trabecular, inlet, or outlet extension. The surgical approach used in patch closure depends on the which valve of the tricuspid valve to suture around and the avoidance of the specialized conducting system. This retrospective study evaluated the usefulness of the "En face view" method for classifying perimembranous VSD.

Microtextured microneedles are tiny needle-like structures with micron-scale microtextures, and the drugs stored in the microtextures can be released after entering the skin to achieve the effect of precise drug delivery. In this study, the skin substitution model of Ogden's hyperelastic model and the microneedle array and microtexture models with different geometrical parameters were selected to simulate and analyse the flow of the microtexture microneedle arrays penetrating the skin by the finite-element method, and the length of the microneedles was determined to be 200 μm, the width 160 μm, and the value of the gaps was determined to be 420 μm. A four-pronged cone was chosen as the shape of microneedles, and a rectangle was chosen as the shape of the drug-carrying microneedle.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids can be utilized in one of the fundamental operating modes of which the gradient pinch mode has been the least explored. In this unique mode non-uniform magnetic field distributions are taken advantage of to develop a so-called Venturi-like contraction in MR fluids. By adequately directing magnetic flux the material can be made solidified in the regions near the flow channel wall, thus creating a passage in the middle of the channel for the fluid to pass through.

Background/purpose: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with ACURATE neo2 showed better hemodynamic outcomes by mitigating paravalvular leakage (PVL) compared with ACURATE neo, and revealed promising one-year outcomes in single-arm studies. However, studies comparing the hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of the two valves are still scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the one-year hemodynamic and clinical outcomes between the neo2 and neo.

Background: Lower mini-sternotomy offers the advantage of providing excellent visualization of the 4 cardiac cavities, allowing surgical treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves as well as any intra-cavitary procedure. Technical issues, as well as safety and echocardiographic results of this approach, are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe outcomes of lower mini-sternotomy to treat valvulopathies and other intracardiac surgeries.
