To eliminate urine production of one Kidney transcatheter embolization of the renal artery was performed in 11 patients with mallignant tumors in the area of the pelvis; in addition to the abave procedure in 9 patients a urinary; diversion by transrenal catheter and a ureteric ligation of the opposite side was also carried out. The therapy is of palliative character and signifies the smallest intervention possible to most treat effectively involuntary urination caused by urine fistulas, painful pollakisuria caused by shrinking bladders, and to treat painful hydronephrosis caused by tumors and the like.

Background: Prognosis assessments for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remain challenging, particularly as the indications for TAVI expand to lower-risk patients. This study assessed the prognostic value of the tricuspid regurgitation impact on outcomes (TRIO) score in patients after TAVI.
Methods: This single-center study included 530 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI.

Aims: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (M-TEER) is known for its low complication rates. However, the optimal level and duration of post-procedural care remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific timeframe of post-procedural complications following M-TEER.

The detection of unexpected findings (UF) during CT scans of patients undergoing TAVR is frequent; however, it is unclear whether such findings have a clinical impact on the TAVR pathway. We conducted a retrospective, single-center observational study enrolling patients who were candidates for TAVR. All enrolled patients underwent a CT scan before valve implantation.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain.
Aim: This study aimed to systematically review and analyse the existing evidence on outcomes of emergency transcatheter aortic valve implantation (eTAVI) and emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty (eBAV) in CS patients.
