Background And Objectives: Among various emerging catheter-based treatments for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the spacer device can reduce the regurgitation orifice without manipulating the valve leaflet. However, its clinical application has been hampered by traumatic anchoring to the myocardium and the coaxial alignment of the balloon resulting in insufficient TR reduction. This study aimed to evaluate the early-stage safety, technical feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the novel atraumatic vertical spacer in patients with isolated severe TR.

The authors report for the first time to their knowledge, implantation of a standard implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead for permanent delivery of left bundle branch area pacing. Implantation was successful and safe in 11 of 12 patients, with adequate defibrillation testing, good electrical and electrocardiographic parameters, and uneventful device-related short-term follow-up.

Background: A novel technique for injection of OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTA) towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) has shown promise in refractory chronic migraine (CM) and chronic cluster headache (CCH). Open label safety and efficacy data are presented here.
Methods: Patients with refractory CM or CCH who had received at least one injection and completed headache diaries were included.

(1) Mitral regurgitation is a common valve disease requiring surgical repair. Even with satisfactory results, repair techniques may underlie subjectivity and variability and require long learning curves. A novel approach, the "Roman Arch" technique, may ease the technical burden.
