Mashup Score: 5
Valvular heart disease can develop as a long-term side effect of radiation therapy, along with other cardiovascular complications. The timeline until clinically significant disease can be on the order of decades, with left-sided valves most commonly affected. Only a few retrospective studies have characterized the incidence and findings associated with radiation therapy associated valvular heart…

Mashup Score: 0
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) has been considered the standard of care for stroke prophylaxis for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation; however, many individuals are unable or unwilling to take long-term OAC. The safety and efficacy of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) have been controversial, and new trial data have recently emerged. We therefore sought to perform an…

Mashup Score: 1Tough Crossing: A Challenging Case of Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement - 2 year(s) ago
Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement is a feasible treatment alternative in high-risk patients with degenerated tricuspid prosthesis. Either transjugular or transfemoral approaches are feasible, with the latter being used more commonly. We describe a challenging case of valve-in-valve transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement where we used a long sheath positioned in the right ventricular…

Mashup Score: 0Successful Obliteration of a Lateral Residual Commissural Jet After MitraClip Implantation Using a Cardioform Septal Occluder - 2 year(s) ago
The MitraClip (Abbott, Santa Clara, California) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has become an approved therapeutic option for surgical high-risk patients with favorable anatomy and severe mitral regurgitation (MR). In patients with challenging anatomy, such as those with commissural MR, the procedure, while feasible, often demands increased technical dexterity and may be associated with…

Mashup Score: 5Analysis of Cardiac Computed Tomography Anatomy in Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Considered for Transcatheter Intervention - 2 year(s) ago
Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with considerable morbidity/mortality in an elderly population with multiple comorbidities. There is interest in transcatheter interventions to manage severe TR. Understanding complex right heart (RH) geometry and tricuspid valve shape and size has implications for patient/device selection for transcatheter intervention. We characterized RH…

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is safe and effective for high-risk patients with bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) but has not been studied in low- and intermediate-risk patients. One year outcomes of the PARTNER 3 Aortic Valve-in-valve (AViV) Study were evaluated.

In specific patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral valve (MV) pathology is unique and requires creative transcatheter repair techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new transcatheter MV repair technique, using occluder devices in symptomatic high-surgical-risk patients with severe MR, either due to MV leaflet (MVL) perforations or due to post-clips…

Mashup Score: 1
Cardiologists often stumble when deciding whether to implant permanent pacemakers in patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). No one particularly wants to implant a permanent pacemaker after TAVR, given the potential detrimental effects on left ventricular function and added resource use as well as observations that AV conduction is frequently found to have…
