Tricuspid valve diseases are a heterogeneous group of pathologies that typically have poor prognoses when treated medically and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality with traditional surgical techniques. Minimal access tricuspid valve surgery may mitigate some of the surgical risks associated with the standard sternotomy approach by limiting pain, reducing blood loss, lowering the risk of wound infections, and shortening hospital stays. In certain patient populations, this may allow for a prompt intervention that could limit the pathologic effects of these diseases. Herein, we review the literature on minimal access tricuspid valve surgery focusing on perioperative planning, technique, and outcomes of minimal access endoscopic and robotic surgery for isolated tricuspid valve disease.

Objective: ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, seen in children and adolescents, and is often treated with various pharmacological agents, especially methylphenidate. There are differing opinions in the literature regarding the cardiovascular safety of long-term methylphenidate use. Studies suggest that the drug may increase the risk of hypertension, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, heart failure (HF), pulmonary hypertension, and stroke.

Aneurysm rupture is a life-threatening event, yet its underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. This study investigated the fracture properties of the thoracic aneurysmatic aorta (TAA) using the symmetry-constraint Compact Tension (symconCT) test and compared results to native and enzymatic-treated porcine aortas' tests. With age, the aortic stiffness increased, and tissues ruptured at lower fracture energy [Formula: see text].

Purpose Of Review: Management of tricuspid regurgitation and annular dilation during mitral valve repair remains controversial. We review the latest evidence on indications to repair the tricuspid valve during mitral valve repair and discuss surgical strategies and complications.
Recent Findings: Concomitant tricuspid valve repair of moderate tricuspid regurgitation is effective in reducing tricuspid regurgitation progression at 2 years, but has not shown benefit to late survival, quality of life, or functional benefit, and is associated with increased permanent pacemaker implantation (PPM) rates, which is associated with reduced late survival.

Background: Traumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation is a rare condition related to blunt chest trauma. In the early phase, the patients may remain asymptomatic. Progressive tricuspid regurgitation leads to the development of symptoms thereafter.

Background: Atrial flutter (AFL) is usually effectively treated by cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation. If AFL recurs despite ablation, there is risk of progression to atrial fibrillation (AF) and clinicians should consider underlying structural heart diseases. This consideration becomes especially critical when right-heart-chambers are dilated.
