Objectives: We aimed to determine transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) related complications during Transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair (TTVR).
Background: Transesophageal echocardiography is essential to guide structural heart disease (SHD) interventions. TTVR has become an evolving procedure for high-risk patients not suitable for surgery. Whether this complex procedure is associated with TEE related complications is not known so far.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 64 consecutive patients undergoing TTVR between 2019 and 2021 with the TriClip system (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA) at our center. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia (GA). TEE related complications were classified as major and minor complications.
Results: Transesophageal echocardiography related complications were observed in two patients (3.1%) with one major complication (1.6%) and one minor complication (1.6%). In one patient perforation of the esophageal mucosa requiring red blood cell transfusion was observed, the other patient had hematemesis due to minor esophageal and gastric lesions without the need for blood transfusion. Both patients recovered during hospital stay with no persistent symptoms at discharge.
Conclusions: Transesophageal echocardiography related complications during TTVR are clinically relevant occurring in 3.1% of the patients. Further investigations are needed to identify potential risk factors and patients at high risk to develop a TEE related complication in the course of TTVR.

With the aging of the general population and the rise in surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement, there will be an increase in the prevalence of prosthetic aortic valves. Patients with prosthetic aortic valves can develop a wide range of unique pathologies compared to the general population. Accurate diagnosis is necessary in this population to generate a comprehensive treatment plan.

Background: There are few reports about the one-stage surgery of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) + mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) around the world. TAVR + M-TEER surgery is usually performed under the simultaneous guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and echocardiography. There is no report of TAVR surgery assisted only by echocardiography all over the world.

Cardiac masses are complex clinical conditions that frequently pose diagnostic challenges in cardiology practice. These masses can form within heart chambers or near the pericardium and are generally categorized as either non-neoplastic or neoplastic. These latter are further classified into benign and malignant (primary and secondary or metastatic).
