The EchoNavigator (EchoNav, Philips, The Netherlands) is a tool that fuses live X-ray with three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) images allowing for enhanced precision and accuracy during interventional cardiac procedures. We present the first case of EchoNav utilization during balloon mitral valvuloplasty using the newest version (EchoNav 3.0.2). The benefits of the EchoNav application include improved procedural precision and safety due to improved demonstration of the relationship between the interventional equipment and neighboring cardiac structures.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement to treat rheumatic mitral stenosis: a case series.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Background: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS) is a common valvular heart disease in developing countries. We sought to evaluate the early experience of patients with RMS undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR).
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 5 RMS patients accepted TMVR.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined complete preservation of chordal structure mitral valve replacement (C-MVR) with total anatomical arterial myocardial revascularization (TACR) in coronary patients with moderate-to-severe or severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). This is a retrospective multi-center case series study. Data were retrospectively collected from 127 patients with coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR who received TACR with C-MVR from July 2015 to April 2024 in 13 hospitals in China.

Background: The Edwards Sapien percutaneous valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) is a promising therapeutic option for congenital atrioventricular disease mostly because of the possibility to accommodate somatic growth with balloon dilatation.
Case Summary: This article reports the performance of the Edwards Sapien 3 valve in atrioventricular valve position in four paediatric patients.
Discussion: Despite aggressive antiplatelet and anticoagulation strategies, most patients showed early bioprosthesis dysfunction, with increasing gradient not related with somatic growth.
Pulmonary Impedance and Wave Reflections in Adults with Mitral Stenosis: Immediate and Follow-Up Effects of Balloon Valvuloplasty.
Ann Biomed Eng

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, USA.
Purpose: We compared adults with mitral stenosis (MS) to 8 controls (CONT) to see how pulmonary impedance and wave reflections differ at baseline and after balloon valvuloplasty.
Methods: We separated the MS patients into groups according to mean pulmonary artery pressure: moderate (MOD; ≤ 26 mmHg, n = 21) and high (HIGH; > 26 mmHg, n = 33). We made baseline high-fidelity measurements in all patients, in the MS groups after vasodilation with nitroprusside, immediately and 4 months after balloon valvuloplasty.
