Article Abstract
This updated Heart Valve Collaboratory framework addresses the growing concern for transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). With the increasing volume of redo-TAV and surgical TAV explantation, there is a critical need for standardized pathways and protocols for evaluating TVF using echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography. This document clarifies prior definitions of bioprosthetic valve deterioration and bioprosthetic valve failure in a practical, imaging directed context for TAVR. It discusses various imaging modalities for diagnosing TVF, including echocardiography, cardiac CT angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography/CT. Recommendations are provided on the systematic imaging for: 1) follow-up post-TAVR; 2) procedural planning for redo-TAV; and 3) post-redo-TAV, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and the need for comprehensive imaging data to optimize patient outcomes in the lifetime management of aortic valve disease.

Correction of Tricuspid Regurgitation in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
JACC Case Rep
September 2025
Department of Cardiology, Monaldi Hospital, Naples, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: Pulmonary hypertension is a contraindication to correction of tricuspid regurgitation.
Case Summary: A 75-year-old Italian woman with previous episodes of right heart failure was diagnosed with World Health Organization (WHO) functional class IV pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) complicated by torrential tricuspid regurgitation. After 6 months of treatment with diuretic agents, macitentan, and tadalafil, she improved to WHO functional class III, with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) decreasing from 5.
Impact of prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy on surgical outcomes of trabeculectomy and ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
September 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Shimane, Japan.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy (PAP) severity on the surgical outcomes of trabeculectomy (LEC) and Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: In this propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study, a total of 106 eyes with uncontrolled glaucoma were included. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
Percutaneous Vegetectomy for Infective Endocarditis in a Nonsurgical Candidate.
JACC Case Rep
September 2025
HonorHealth Thompson Peak Medical Center, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
Background: Surgical management is recommended for infective endocarditis (IE) when there is right heart failure due to severe tricuspid regurgitation, recurrent septic pulmonary emboli, persistent bacteremia, and large tricuspid valve vegetations (≥20 mm). However, sternotomy comes with strict eligibility limitations, including poor functional status, respiratory failure, and recent intravenous drug use.
Case Summary: A 55-year-old woman with a history of intravenous drug use was diagnosed with persistent bacteremia in the setting of tricuspid valve endocarditis.
Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma Presenting as a Right Ventricular Mass.
JACC Case Rep
September 2025
Department of Cardiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Background: Masses in the right ventricle are uncommon, but if present, they are most often attributed to either primary cardiac tumors or metastatic disease.
Case Summary: A 50-year-old woman presented with progressive lower extremity edema and was diagnosed with a right ventricular mass causing severe tricuspid insufficiency and near-total obstruction of the pulmonary artery. She had a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomatosis.
Late Survival and Self-reported Quality of Life in Octogenarians with Prior Sternotomy Undergoing Valvular Surgery.
Ann Thorac Surg
September 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Recent advances in transcatheter valvular techniques often compete with open cardiac operations in managing high-risk patients with valvular disease, especially in the elderly. The present study assesses late survival and quality of life following valvular surgery in octogenarians with prior sternotomy.
Methods: We identified octogenarians who underwent cardiac valve reoperations between 2004 and 2023.
