Background: Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is a condition affecting the left ventricle (LV) rather than the mitral valve (MV). If the MV remains structurally unchanged, enlargement of the LV or impairment of the papillary muscles can occur. Several mechanical interventions are available to dictate the resolution of MR.

Haemolysis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been reported in some studies, all of which were non-critical. Data related to haemolysis associated with new-generation balloon-expandable valve (BEV) are scarce.

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.

Introduction: The docking button of the Aveir leadless pacemaker (LP) is occasionally difficult to access due to its inappropriate position in the right ventricle (RV).
Methods And Results: We report a case where the Aveir LP was successfully retrieved by releasing the wedged docking button in the inferior wall of the RV using a loop wire technique.
Conclusion: The loop wire technique may be useful to change the position of the Aveir LP.

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.
