Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-surgical annuloplasty ring is an appealing concept in light of the high mortality associated with reoperation on the tricuspid valve. The clinical necessity of this procedure is derived from a considerable failure rate of tricuspid repairs over time. The presented case demonstrates that transcatheter valve-in-ring is a feasible option for patients with flexible tricuspid ring even in the context of significant ring dehiscence. Meticulous procedural planning, preemptively addressing a potential paravalvular leak, and clear understanding of the intricate three-dimensional anatomy are imperative for procedural success.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.

Background: Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) typically present with heterogeneity in the extent of cardiac dysfunction and extra-cardiac comorbidities, which play a decisive role for survival after transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI).
Objectives: This aim of this study was to create a survival tree-based model to determine the cardiac and extra-cardiac features associated with 2-year survival after TTVI.
Methods: The study included 918 patients (derivation set, n = 631; validation set, n = 287) undergoing TTVI for severe TR.

Background: Data supporting the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is limited compared to tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) anatomy, as the BAV anatomy poses unique challenges to prosthesis expansion and symmetric deployment.
Aims: We aim to compare the acute recoil and asymmetry of the SAPIEN-3 valve between BAV and TAV anatomies and their impact on procedural outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a single-center study of patients who underwent TAVR with the SAPIEN-3 valve.
