Case Summary: A patient who underwent mechanical aortic and mitral valve replacement developed three paravalvular leaks 10 months later. We located the tracks by puncturing the apex cordis under transoesophageal echocardiography guidance alone and puncturing the femoral artery guided by fluoroscopy. Three paravalvular leaks were occluded with a hybridization method simultaneously. The patient was followed up for 24 months and maintained a good condition.
Conclusion: Multiple paravalvular leaks after double valve replacement can be occluded in patients by the use of different approaches under echocardiographic guidance alone.

Background: There are several high-risk treatment options for valve failure of a biological full root replacement. When tailoring the best treatment option for the patient, implantation of a rapid deployment valve (RDV) should be considered.
Case Presentation: Six patients presented with aortic regurgitation in a full root Freestyle bioprosthesis.

Background: Vascular complications remain prevalent on transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR) with a significant proportion related to the secondary arterial access. We hypothesized that placing the second sheath ipsilateral and distal to the delivery sheath could reduce vascular complications with similar safety and efficacy.
Objectives: Comparing vascular complications and clinical outcomes when placing the secondary arterial sheath in the ipsilateral (unilateral-access) versus in the contralateral (bilateral-access) femoral artery during TF-TAVR.
Three-Year Clinical and Hemodynamic Evaluation of the Hydra Self-Expanding Transcatheter Aortic Valve in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis.

Clinic of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Background: The Hydra CE study revealed 1-year favorable efficacy of TAVR, showing a large effective orifice area (EOA), low gradient, and acceptable complication rates.
Aims: We evaluated the 3-year clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of Hydra self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (manufactured by Vascular Innovations Co Ltd, Nonthaburi, Thailand; a subsidiary of Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited, India) in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at high or extremely high surgical risk.
Methods: The Hydra CE study was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study.

Background And Objective: Prosthetic heart valve interventions such as TAVR have surged over the past decade, but the associated complication of long-term, life-threatening thrombotic events continues to undermine patient outcomes. Thus, improving thrombogenic risk analysis of TAVR devices is crucial. In vitro studies for thrombogenicity are typically difficult to perform.

Article Synopsis
- Paravalvular leaks (PVL) after mitral valve replacement happen in 7% to 17% of cases, with 1% to 5% being serious.
- Surgical repair is typically suggested, but transcatheter PVL closures have proven to have better results and fewer complications.
- This case report explores a patient with a severe PVL following aortic and mitral valve replacement who was treated using a transapical approach, looking into the outcomes and possible complications.
