Article Abstract
A 79-year-old woman, previously treated for congenital pulmonary valve stenosis through surgical and transcatheter procedures, presented with worsening dyspnea. This led to the identification of valve thrombosis in her bioprosthetic pulmonary valve. This report delves into the clinical importance of obstructive valve thrombosis, its diagnostic assessment, and potential therapeutic strategies. This is the first documented case of valve-in-valve thrombosis involving the transcatheter pulmonary valve.

Long-term effect of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair on left ventricular function and mitral regurgitation severity: a single-center experience.

Background: Long-term outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are compared with medical therapy remain under investigation. This study evaluated the 3-year effects of MitraClip on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity, ventricular remodeling, and clinical outcomes in high surgical-risk patients.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort included 31 MitraClip patients (2016-2023) and 30 contemporaneous controls on maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) often coexists in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair procedure (M-TEER). Its pre-procedural severity is considered a negative prognostic marker. Whether the post-procedural PH resulting from M-TEER can also serve as a long-term prognostic marker is unknown.

Background: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is prevalent among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and associated with adverse outcome, yet this bidirectional association remains underexplored.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pathophysiological and prognostic significance of AFMR in HFpEF, both at rest and during exercise.
Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, consecutive patients with HFpEF underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with echocardiography, with a particular focus on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity assessment in rest and during exercise.

Objectives: To describe the clinical presentation of patients with gonadal neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoid heart disease (CaHD) and to evaluate long-term outcomes following valvular surgery.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with primary gonadal neuroendocrine tumor who were surgically treated for CaHD at our institution between 1990 and 2021.
Results: Eight patients (median age, 70 years) were included in the study, 7 with ovarian tumors and 1 with testicular tumor.

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Calif.
Objective: Patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease often require multiple operations, which may have a cumulative effect on their outcomes. This study aimed to define the cardiac surgical course in a large cohort and identify longitudinal risk factors for death/transplant.
Methods: All patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at one institution from 2005 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.
