Article Abstract
A 66-year-old man with refractory multiple myeloma presented with acute severe aortic insufficiency leading to cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure. After comprehensive heart team evaluation, he underwent successful JenaValve transcatheter aortic valve (JenaValve Technology, Inc., Irvine, California) implantation resulting in resolution of his aortic insufficiency and improvement in his clinical status.

This report presents the case of a 66-year-old man with acute torrential aortic insufficiency after a Ross procedure 20 years earlier, a biologic aortic valve replacement 16 years earlier, and a transcatheter valve-in-valve 4 years earlier. He underwent third-time sternotomy, revealing that the pulmonary autograft was heavily calcified and frozen to the homograft. The previous transcatheter valve-in-valve was explanted.

Moderate or severe aortic insufficiency is a contraindication to transvalvular Impella left ventricular assist device (Abiomed) use out of concern for worsening valvular insufficiency and recirculation. This report describes the case of a 75-year-old man with severe eccentric aortic insufficiency and systemic hypoperfusion who was supported with a transvalvular Impella 5.5 device for 6 days as preoperative rehabilitation before aortic valve replacement.

Mechanical valve leaflets have the potential to detach and migrate to unintended locations, leading to life- and limb-threatening situations. We report a unique case of a dislodged mechanical aortic valve leaflet in the right iliac artery bifurcation after a redo mitral valve replacement. This was promptly recognized by input from a multidisciplinary team, allowing immediate correction of the aortic valve insufficiency followed by staged retrieval of the dislodged leaflet to avoid vascular complications.

: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common condition observed in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS). However, the impact of TAVI on MR outcomes and the factors predicting MR improvement remains uncertain. Understanding these predictors can enhance patient management and guide clinical decisions.
