Predominant Rheumatic Tricuspid Stenosis Open
Tricuspid stenosis as the dominant valvular lesion in rheumatic heart disease is rare and almost always occurs in the presence of mitral valve disease. Transthoracic echocardiography remains the modality of choice for evaluation of the tri…

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: Diagnosis and Management Open
Secondary mitral regurgitation is one of the most common valve diseases. The disease is a result of left atrial or left ventricular dysfunction. It is generally classified into stages based on its severity. While surgical intervention does…

Outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with low versus high gradient severe aortic stenosis in the setting of preserved left ventricular ejection fraction Open
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for low gradient (LG) severe aortic stenosis (AS) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains an area of clinical uncertainty. Methods Retrospective review ident…

Rapid Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Failure after Temporary Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Open
The technique of mechanical circulatory support or the site of cannulation may affect transvalvular flow. We describe early failure of a mitral bioprosthesis in a patient with temporary left ventricular assist device support, likely from t…
