A 56-year-old female who was diagnosed incomplete endocardial cushion defect, underwent closure of ostium primum defect and repair of mitral cleft 2 years ago. Mitral and tricuspid ring annuloplasty was done 9 months after the first operation because of an increment of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The Third operation, mitral valve replacement by mechanical valve and tricuspid valve replacement by bioprosthetic valve, was performed because of the gradually increased mitral stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation. Post-operative course was uneventful. Resected anterior cusp of mitral and tricuspid valve revealed hypertrophy and shortness macroscopically, and revealed fibrosis and calcification histopathologically. It was considered that remarkable regurgitation was due to secondary change of both valves. We concluded that valve replacement should be performed for case of secondary change of atrioventricular valve in adult patient.

Background: Management of acute aortic dissection (AAD) caused by retrograde perfusion through the femoral artery during minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) remains controversial. We present a case of AAD occurring during the late cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) phase, which was successfully managed by vascular graft replacement, without altering the blood supply route.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man was scheduled for totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement.

We present an 18-year-old male with Fallot's tetralogy (ToF) repaired with a transannular and main pulmonary artery (PA) patch, who suffered an acute coronary artery compression after a Harmony-TPV deployment. Left main coronary artery compression was confirmed with angiography and IVUS. He underwent emergent surgery, with a bioprosthetic valve replacement.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of and in valve samples from endocarditis patients using the real-time PCR method at a major referral heart hospital in Iran. In this study, 146 paraffin-embedded tissue samples from the heart valves of patients with clinical and pathological evidence of infective endocarditis (IE), who underwent heart valve replacement surgery between 2016 and 2020 at Tehran Heart Center were collected. After DNA extraction from paraffin-embedded valve tissue samples, they were surveyed for the presence of and using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).

Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, linked to high morbidity and mortality, are increasingly treated with interventional edge-to-edge repair, showing excellent results in favorable anatomy. Recently, interventional valve replacement strategies have emerged. We present a patient with severe dyspnea and leg edema who was diagnosed with severe mitral and torrential tricuspid regurgitation.

A 34-year-old man with sudden palpitations, dyspnea, and chest pain was found to have tachycardia and unilateral pulmonary congestion. Intravenous adenosine restored sinus rhythm. Imaging and pathology confirmed an atrial myxoma with severe mitral regurgitation, requiring surgical excision and mitral valve replacement.
