Acute mitral regurgitation is a life-threatening pathology. Nowadays, percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip device offers, in selected patients, a safe and effective therapeutic alternative to open surgery. Hereby, we report the case of an 82-year-old woman with lateral ST-elevation myocardial infarction determining severe acute mitral regurgitation, who was treated with an urgent MitraClip procedure. Moreover, we discuss echocardiographic assessment of acute mitral regurgitation and we review available literature and possible management of this complex scenario.

We report a case of a woman who underwent mitral ring and tricuspid annuloplasty. Two months later, she presented with acute heart failure secondary to severe aortic regurgitation, which was a complication of the cardiac surgery. Given the high surgical risk of reoperation in this the patient, she underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation, with a good result.

We describe a rare but interesting complication of totally endoscopic robotic mitral valve repair in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation. The mitral valve was repaired robotically by standard techniques, and the intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated no residual mitral regurgitation. However, there was unexpected hypokinesia of the posterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle, with subsequent electrocardiography showing acute ST elevations of the lateral segment.

Background: Ebstein's anomaly represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities. Studies about paediatric Ebstein's anomaly patients are limited.
Aim: To evaluate clinical characteristics, treatment (medical/arrhythmia ablation/surgical) results, and outcome of Ebstein's anomaly patients, and to determine factors affecting arrhythmia presence and mortality.

Cardiovascular Department, Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia.
Background: Post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but has very serious implications. Managing PI-VSR using transcatheter closure (TCC) presents varying challenges depending on the patient's condition. The aim of this study is to present a highly challenging case of multiple VSRs as a complication of AMI.
