Introduction: Acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) is a perioperative blood management technique involving the removal of whole blood and simultaneous infusion of colloids or crystalloids to achieve haemodilution while maintaining normovolaemia. However, its efficacy in reducing the requirement for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion remains controversial due to inconsistent findings in the literature. An individualised red cell transfusion strategy, guided by the West China Liu's Score, has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion.

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.
