Transcatheter caval valve implantation (CAVI) is an emerging treatment option for inoperable patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We present a case of a 76-year-old lady with severe TR and recurrent right heart failure who improved after CAVI. This is the first such case in a rare environment.

During surgery for oval fossa defects, inadvertent suturing of pericardial patches to a prominent Eustachian valve diverts the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium causing iatrogenic cyanosis. A similar complication may arise after surgery for superior sinus venosus defects. Surgical patch in a wrong plane may direct the superior vena cava towards the left atrium.

Objective: We aimed to explore the feasibility of an inverted-T upper hemisternotomy approach for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and report the results after 17 cases.
Methods: PEA was conducted through a 7-cm skin incision using an inverted-T upper hemisternotomy across the third intercostal spaces. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was established through central arterial and percutaneous femoral dual-staged venous cannulation.

Background: Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) has shown promising results with persistent reduction of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and improvements in functional class and quality of life (QOL).
Objectives: To analyze the impact of TTVI on maximal and submaximal exercise capacity (SEC).
Methods: Constant work-rate exercise-time (CWRET) testing reflects SEC, which is more likely to be relevant for daily life activities and provides more differentiated physiological insight into the nature of exercise intolerance.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common, and its prevalence increases with age. It was previously estimated that there are 1.6 million patients in the United States with moderate or worse TR, and more contemporary data suggest the age-adjusted prevalence of TR is 0.
