Although dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly, it may be accompanied by numerous pathologies. Tricuspid valve prolapse is an extremely uncommon cause of primary tricuspid valve disease, as is its association with dextrocardia. In this instance, we wished to share our knowledge of tricuspid commissural prolapse together with dextrocardia, which we augmented with 3D images.

Usefulness of the "En face view" method for diagnosing perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
J Echocardiogr
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nagano Children's Hospital, Nagano, Japan.
Background: Perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) can be classified as having trabecular, inlet, or outlet extension. The surgical approach used in patch closure depends on the which valve of the tricuspid valve to suture around and the avoidance of the specialized conducting system. This retrospective study evaluated the usefulness of the "En face view" method for classifying perimembranous VSD.

Article Synopsis
- * Mitral valve repair was successful in 90.9% of cases, with posterior leaflet lesions showing the highest success rates, while the in-hospital mortality rate was low at 0.6%.
- * Results indicate that despite the emergence of less invasive techniques, surgical repair remains the best option for most DMR patients, with a 5-year survival rate of 95.5%.
FEBio FINESSE: An Open-Source Finite Element Simulation Approach to Estimate In Vivo Heart Valve Strains Using Shape Enforcement.
Ann Biomed Eng
November 2024
Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Purpose: Finite element simulations are an enticing tool to evaluate heart valve function; however, patient-specific simulations derived from 3D echocardiography are hampered by several technical challenges. The objective of this work is to develop an open-source method to enforce matching between finite element simulations and in vivo image-derived heart valve geometry in the absence of patient-specific material properties, leaflet thickness, and chordae tendineae structures.
Methods: We evaluate FEBio Finite Element Simulations with Shape Enforcement (FINESSE) using three synthetic test cases considering a range of model complexity.
Four-dimensional computed tomography analysis of bicuspid aortic valves.
JTCVS Tech
October 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Limoges University Hospital, Limoges, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how 4D analysis using multiphase cardiac CT can help describe the aortic annulus in patients with bicuspid aortic valves, comparing it to those with normal tricuspid valves.
- The methodology involved analyzing cardiac CT scans of 15 BAV patients and 15 TAV patients, measuring various 3D characteristics of the aortic annulus across different phases of the heart's cycle.
- Results showed that the aortic annulus in BAV patients was significantly larger in multiple dimensions compared to TAV patients and demonstrated that 3D shape analysis can effectively differentiate between various types of BAV, revealing important anatomical details like the position of nonfunctional commissures.
Impact of commissural versus coronary alignment on risk of coronary obstruction following transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging

Sussex Cardiac Centre, Royal Sussex County Hospital, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, Eastern Road, Brighton, BN2 5BE, England.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with commissural alignment aims to limit the risk of coronary occlusion and maintain good coronary access. However, due to coronary origin eccentricity within the coronary cusp, coronary-commissural overlap (CCO) may still occur. TAVI using coronary alignment, rather than commissural alignment, may further improve coronary access.
