Background: We evaluated the surgical outcomes of modified right ventricle (RV) overhaul (mRVOh), implemented as part of comprehensive management for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS).
Methods And Results: Twenty-five mRVOh procedures were performed in 23 patients with PA-IVS without RV-dependent coronary circulation. The procedure involved RV sinus myectomy, infundibular muscle resection, and tricuspid valve (TV) and pulmonary valve (PV) repair.

Purpose: Identifying factors associated with left ventricular (LV) remodeling is important for risk stratification of patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS). The aim of this preliminary study was to explore aortic hemodynamics in these patients and assess their relationships with LV remodeling using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Method: Data from 17 patients with moderate AS involving the tricuspid aortic valves and normal LV ejection fraction (EF > 55%) were analyzed.

Background: Annular measurements traditionally guide transcatheter heart valve sizing in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Although supra-annular assessment has emerged as a crucial consideration, particularly in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) cases, current measurement methods lack standardization and reproducibility.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a standardized multiplanar approach for transcatheter heart valve sizing integrating both annular and supra-annular measurements.

Over the last ten years, transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVIs) have emerged as effective options for symptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who are at prohibitive surgical risk. Successful application of these therapies depends on a patient-tailored, multimodal imaging workflow. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography remain the first-line diagnostic tools, rapidly stratifying TR severity, mechanism, and right ventricular function, and identifying cases requiring further evaluation.
