Article Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, structural heart interventions-including procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement, transcatheter mitral or tricuspid valve replacement, and transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral or tricuspid valve repair-have emerged as feasible alternatives to traditional surgery for treating valvular heart diseases. Antithrombotic treatment represents a critical aspect of postoperative care, aiming to balance the thromboembolic risk due to the incorporation of prosthetic materials and the consequently altered hemodynamics within the cardiac chambers with the bleeding risk depending on patients' and procedural factors. This continuously evolving interplay underscores the importance of personalized, evidence-based approaches to ensure optimal outcomes. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the current knowledge on antithrombotic therapies after structural interventions, offering insights into the evolving field and emphasizing the importance of tailored strategies.

The Relationship Between the CHA2DS2-VASc Score and Lesion Complexity and Long-Term Outcomes in Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Objective: Originally designed to evaluate stroke risk in individuals with atrial fibrillation unrelated to valvular disease, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, and Sex category - female) is now additionally utilized for the prognostic evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for lesion severity and long-term survival outcomes in individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Method: This retrospective analysis included 784 patients diagnosed with PAD via computed tomography (CT) angiography, consecutively enrolled from two medical centers.
Can Large Language Models Guide Aortic Stenosis Management? A Comparative Analysis of ChatGPT and Gemini AI.

Objective: Management of aortic stenosis (AS) requires integrating complex clinical, imaging, and risk stratification data. Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini AI have shown promise in healthcare, but their performance in valvular heart disease, particularly AS, has not been thoroughly assessed. This study systematically compared ChatGPT and Gemini AI in addressing guideline-based and clinical scenario questions related to AS.

Introduction: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a highly effective procedure for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, prolonging patient life and improving quality. Additional cardiac pathologies, especially valvular regurgitation or coronary heart disease, are common in LVAD recipients, whereas reports on the surgical management of heart failure combined with aortic disease are rare.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and end-stage heart failure.

Background: Rapid application of transcatheter valve replacement for valve diseases has promoted the development of biological valves. Different efforts have been made to improve the surface properties of valves. We developed a new method using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide and epoxy chloropropane (EC).
