Leaflet-to-annulus index and residual tricuspid regurgitation following tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair

21 Jun 2022

As the relationship between leaflet length and annular dimension becomes highly relevant in TR pathophysiology, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of tricuspid leaflet-to-annulus mismatch on outcomes after T-TEER.

Prognostic impact of extra–mitral valve cardiac involvement in patients with primary mitral regurgitation

17 Jun 2022

This report builds up the evidence on the relevance of extra-valvular cardiac damage staging / involvement as a main predictor of adverse events in patients with VHD undergoing intervention, either surgical or percutaneous.

Haemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the self-expanding ACURATE Neo2

09 Jun 2022

The ACURATE neo2 valve was developed to reduce the risk of paravalvular AR with an increased sealing skirt. This retrospective study aimed to compare TAVI with the ACURATE neo and neo2 devices.

Polymer-based versus polymer-free stents in high bleeding risk patients: final 2-year results from Onyx ONE

08 Jun 2022

The results of this study show that at 2-year follow-up HBR patients undergoing PCI with a polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent & 1-month DAPT had similar outcomes in terms of both safety & efficacy to those with a polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent.
