Article Abstract
We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient who underwent tetralogy of Fallot repair at 7 years of age and then developed severe degenerative mitral regurgitation during adulthood. Given the increased surgical risk (obesity, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and reoperation), the patient underwent a successful microinvasive mitral valve repair with neochordae implantation. ().

Patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thrombosis, and mechanical heart valve (MHV) regularly undergo procedures on a daily basis, for which they require bridging anticoagulation, but this poses significant challenges. Bridging anticoagulation involves temporary interruption of long-term anticoagulation therapy for procedures and continued overlap with short-acting anticoagulants during perioperative period. Heparin-based agents are often used for overlapping in perioperative period to reduce the risk of thromboembolism, but the evidence for benefit particularly in patients with MHV remains limited.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher prevalence of valvular diseases and increased mortality from cardiovascular causes. Factors that influence the genesis of cardiac valve calcification (CVC) in these patients are not well-defined.
Objective: To determine the risk factors for valvular calcification in patients with CKD.

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is an increasingly recognized subtype of mitral regurgitation, characterized by left atrial remodelling and mitral annular dilation in the absence of primary mitral valve disease or left ventricular dysfunction. Closely linked to chronic atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, AFMR is associated with poor clinical outcomes and represents a growing therapeutic challenge. This expert opinion paper summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management strategies, including medical therapy and emerging data supporting surgical and transcatheter interventions in selected patients.

A middle-aged female presenting with progressive heart failure was admitted to the emergency department. She had a history of mitral and aortic valve replacement and a reoperation involving the Konno procedure. Echocardiography suggested a possible paraprosthetic leakage, which was confirmed during surgery.
