Article Abstract

A 29-year-old woman after double valve replacement. She underwent a Commando procedure for aortic valve replacement with annular enlargement due to structural valve deterioration of the bioprosthetic aortic valve and a narrow valve annulus. In the Commando procedure with annular enlargement, the balance between mitral and aortic valve size is important. If the mitral valve is too small, the aortic valve cannot be enlarged sufficiently, and if the mitral valve is too large, left ventricular deformation and left ventricular outflow tract stenosis may occur. Valve sizing should be performed with this in mind.

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the perioperative safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis.

Methods: We systematically analyzed studies from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CNKI comparing TAVR and SAVR in BAV stenosis. Outcomes included postoperative mortality, complications, all-cause survival, and freedom from stroke.

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.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) may rarely worsen after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to mechanical interference from the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Standard surgical approaches in these cases are often challenging due to anatomical constraints. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to address this issue.

Despite continued advancements in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) techniques, the incidence of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) remains substantial. Established predictors of PPI include advanced age, pre-existing electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, prosthetic valve type, implantation depth, and anatomical parameters, such as membranous septum length, which are currently under active investigation. In routine clinical practice, the management strategy often involves the temporary placement of a transvenous pacemaker lead, followed by a period of observation.

Background: Differences between female and male patients may influence the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, knowledge regarding known sex differences in TAVR procedures among Chinese people remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of sex-related differences on reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling following TAVR in the Chinese population.
