Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

Background: Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is increasingly applied in patients with high surgical risk. We aimed to evaluate whether the PASCAL system can be applied in an all-comers cohort irrespective of the underlying anatomy and whether technical features influence therapeutic success.
Methods: In this prospective, observational study we enrolled consecutive patients (n = 80) with mitral regurgitation (MR) 3+ and 4+ scheduled for M-TEER.

Aims: To assess the association between right heart failure (RHF) and mortality in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI), and to determine whether clinical RHF status reduces the survival benefit of successful versus failed TTVI.
Methods And Results: The TriValve International Registry (Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Therapies) is a multicenter registry collecting data of patients with symptomatic, severe or greater TR undergoing TTVI. The population was stratified according to RHF status defined by the following clinical criteria: history of previous hospitalization for RHF (<1 year) OR presence of signs of RHF (jugular venous distension, ascites, peripheral oedema) OR high dose diuretic (≥125 mg/day of furosemide or equivalent).

Background: Transtricuspid cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) complicate the management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TTVA) offers a promising approach due to minimal interaction with leaflets and transvalvular CIEDs, though real-world evidence is limited.
Methods: This bi-center, retrospective study includes 204 consecutive patients who underwent TTVA with the Cardioband (Edwards Lifesciences) for severe symptomatic TR.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular abnormality in patients in the Western world. Treatment options include surgery and edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve leaflets using the MitraClip device. However, MR may recur, and MitraClip can be unsuccessful, posing a challenging management dilemma.
