TEER for SAM of the Mitral Valve and Flail Posterior Mitral Leaflet: 1-Clip Solution.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is approved for patients with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who are deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk with life expectancy of more than 1 year, but has also been used off-label in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) for symptomatic relief who are not candidates for septal reduction therapy. An 83-year-old woman with decompensated heart failure was found to have HOCM with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and a large P2 flail segment with ruptured cords. TEER was performed resulting in mild MR and resolution of the prior left ventricular outflow tract gradient.

We present a case of a 76-year-old man with de novo right heart failure. Echocardiography initially detected a mass near to the posterior area of the right atrium. Despite a comprehensive multimodality imaging assessment, the exact location of the mass remained unclear.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Population-based analyses may reduce uncertainty related to referral bias and/or incomplete follow-up.
Objectives: This study analyzed long-term mortality and durability of mitral valve repair in a geographically defined population with clinical and echocardiographic follow-up.
Methods: We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project to identify 153 Olmsted County patients who underwent mitral valve repair for degenerative regurgitation from 1993 to 2018.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.

Prisma Health Upstate Department of Surgery, Greenville, SC.
Background: The concomitant hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (c-TIF) is a novel anti-reflux procedure that addresses the hiatus and the gastro-esophageal flap valve for surgical candidates with GERD. We aim to compare the outcomes of a hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (TIF) vs surgical partial fundoplication (anterior and posterior) with regards to quality-of-life scores at 12 months after surgery.
Study Design: Following IRB approval, a prospectively maintained anti-reflux database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent a c-TIF procedure or a surgical hiatal hernia repair with partial fundoplication.
