Purpose: We describe a central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing in a young male patient who was found to have mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma.
Methods: At the initial examination, a 33-year-old Hispanic man had visual acuity of 20/200 in his left eye, and 2 weeks later, visual acuity improved to 20/20. Diagnosis required transesophageal echocardiography to localize the lesion.
Results: Mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma involving the mitral valve was successfully treated with tumor resection.
Conclusion: Routine echocardiography should be performed in all patients presenting with central retinal artery occlusion as it may diagnose treatable cardiogenic etiologies and present further potentially life-threatening embolic events.

Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, linked to high morbidity and mortality, are increasingly treated with interventional edge-to-edge repair, showing excellent results in favorable anatomy. Recently, interventional valve replacement strategies have emerged. We present a patient with severe dyspnea and leg edema who was diagnosed with severe mitral and torrential tricuspid regurgitation.

A 34-year-old man with sudden palpitations, dyspnea, and chest pain was found to have tachycardia and unilateral pulmonary congestion. Intravenous adenosine restored sinus rhythm. Imaging and pathology confirmed an atrial myxoma with severe mitral regurgitation, requiring surgical excision and mitral valve replacement.

We describe the case of a 52-year-old man with radiation-induced severe mixed aortic and mitral valve disease, thickening of the aortomitral continuity, mitral annular calcification, and porcelain aorta with limited transcatheter treatment options. By replacing the aorta during circulatory arrest, we demonstrate that it is possible to clamp the ascending aorta to facilitate prosthetic aortic and mitral valve replacement.

• Redo surgery for severe MR after MA can be high risk. • m-TEER can be successful if patient is not a candidate for redo surgery or valve-in-ring. • Small mitral orifice area and postdevice mean gradient may limit m-TEER to 1 device.
