Transmembrane protein 184B (TMEM184B) is an endosomal 7-pass transmembrane protein with evolutionarily conserved roles in synaptic structure and axon degeneration. We report six pediatric cases who have de novo heterozygous variants in TMEM184B; five individuals harbor a rare missense variant, and one individual has an mRNA splice site change. This cohort is unified by overlapping neurodevelopmental deficits including developmental delay, corpus callosum hypoplasia, seizures, and/or microcephaly.

Subclinical Leaflet Thrombosis and Subclinical Aortic Valve Complex Thrombosis in TAVR.

JACC Adv

August 2025

Subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement occurs in 10% to 15% of patients at 1 month and up to 30% by 1 year, extending to perivalvular structures as subclinical aortic valve-complex thrombosis. We review contributing factors to SLT, including valve-specific parameters such as flow dynamics in the native sinus and neosinus, prosthesis sizing, deployment symmetry, implant depth, and commissural alignment; the persistent metabolic activity of retained calcified leaflets; and the impact of antithrombotic therapy on SLT incidence. Although oral anticoagulation reduces imaging-detected SLT, it increases bleeding and mortality.

Ideal Navitor Implant Depth for Redo-TAVR Feasibility and Coronary Access: A CT Simulation Study.

JACC Adv

August 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mount Sinai Health System, New York, New York, USA. Electronic address:

Background: The impact of implant depth of the Abbott Navitor intra-annular, self-expanding valve on redo-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) feasibility is unknown.

Objectives: The authors sought to determine the feasibility of redo-TAVR and coronary access with Edwards Sapien 3 (S3) valve after initial Navitor valve, based on various implant depths on computed tomography (CT) simulation.

Methods: Using 2050 pre-TAVR CTs of patients with native aortic stenosis, initial Navitor TAVR simulations were done at 3 implant depths (0 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm), with frame expansion assumed at native annular dimensions and commissural alignment not achievable.
