Symptoms mimicking COVID-19 infection, pulmonary emboli, or septicemia delayed diagnosis of aortic bioprosthesis failure. A 71-year-old man was admitted emergently with shortness of breath, fever, cough, and chest pain. Echocardiography performed after 2 days showed diastolic regurgitation in an aortic perimount pericardial bioprosthesis implanted 12 years previously. An urgent reoperation disclosed that one pericardial cusp was torn from the stent of the valve. We have not previously encountered sudden pericardial leaflet dehiscence of an internally mounted pericardial valve that caused heart failure and found no literature report like our finding.

The autologous pericardial aortic valve repair technique developed by Ozaki et al., using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium, has demonstrated superior durability to bioprosthetic valves. However, this technique has certain limitations, including excessive cusp height and cusp fluttering due to leaflet redunduncy.

Objective: Lengthening of the quadriceps tendon for dehiscence in chronic rupture.
Indications: Chronic rupture of the quadriceps tendon with delayed diagnosis or failure of primary refixation with a dehiscence between 1 and 5 cm.
Contraindications: Dehiscence of more than 5 cm.

Article Synopsis
- * Twelve patients were analyzed retrospectively, revealing that echocardiograms and other imaging methods identified issues like endocarditis, aortic root abscesses, and myocarditis in these individuals.
- * Findings indicate that multimodal imaging is crucial for early diagnosis and management of such infections, aiding in quicker treatment decisions while laboratory results are still pending.

The treatment for ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) involves a combination of medical management and, in certain cases, surgical intervention. The approach depends on the severity of the condition, underlying causes, and the patient's overall health. A 76-year-old male with heart failure refractory to medical management because of ischemic MR was considered for a mitral valve repair surgery with a posterior mitral leaflet augmentation technique.
