Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

One of the major issues encountered in patients undergoing evaluation for Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is the risk of Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. LVOT obstruction is a catastrophic complication of TMVR, the result of displacement of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AML) toward the interventricular septum. Several strategies to mitigate the risk of LVOT obstruction have been described and include percutaneous laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet (LAMPOON), alcohol septal ablation, trans-atrial leaflet modification (SITRAL) and Balloon Assisted Translocation of Mitral Anterior leaflet to prevent LVOT obstruction (BATMAN).

Background: Mitral valve replacement in the setting of severe annular calcification (MAC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Direct surgical implantation of a transcatheter heart valve (THV) through a transatrial approach is a strategy to mitigate surgical risk. This study reports the perioperative and 1-year outcomes of mitral valve replacement using a THV in patients with severe circumferential MAC at 3 Canadian centers.

Background And Aims: Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) has recently emerged as a novel therapeutic approach for managing severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, surgical tricuspid valve replacement (STVR) continues to be the predominant treatment modality. There are limited comparative data on both procedures.

Background: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) is an infrequent but highly lethal complication of myocardial infarction. Early surgical repair with a resection of pseudoaneurysm is often performed, given that medical therapy alone is associated with a high risk of mortality. This report describes a case of a giant LVPA on the lateral wall post-infarction and mitral valve regurgitation that was successfully treated by surgical transatrial closure and mitral valve replacement.
