: The NeoChord procedure is a trans-ventricular, echo-guided, beating-heart mitral valve (MV) repair technique used to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by leaflet prolapse and/or flail. : This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) scoring system using pre-procedural clinical and echocardiographic variables to predict the success of the NeoChord procedure-defined as less than moderate MR at follow-up. A total of 80 patients were included.

Background: Epidermoid cysts of the pineal region with posterior third ventricular extension are exceptionally rare, especially in the pediatric population. Despite their benign histology, their deep location near critical neurovascular structures poses considerable surgical challenges. We present the first reported pediatric case of a pineal epidermoid cyst extending into the posterior third ventricle successfully managed through a purely endoscopic transventricular approach, and analyze the literature.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombosis is a potentially life-threatening complication in patients with severely impaired LV function, particularly after myocardial infarction or dilated cardiomyopathy. Although anticoagulation treatment remains the first-line treatment approach, surgical thrombectomy is indicated for patients with large, mobile, or refractory thrombi. We present a case-based review of 4 patients who underwent endoscopic transmitral LV thrombectomy via right thoracotomy.
