Transcatheter mitral valve repair, particularly edge-to-edge leaflet repair, is a well-
established alternative for patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation (MR) considered …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease and, when left
untreated, it confers a poorer prognosis. Catheter-based repair therapies face some …

Background: The risk of surgical mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral
annular calcification (MAC) is high. Several patients worldwide with severe MAC have been …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictors of left ventricular outflow tract
(LVOT) obstruction after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Background: LVOT …

Abstract Objectives: The BASILICA (Bioprosthetic or native Aortic Scallop Intentional
Laceration to prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery obstruction during TAVR) investigational …

Background: Mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) and valve-in-ring (ViR) are alternatives to surgical
reoperation in patients with recurrent mitral valve failure after previous surgical valve repair …

Background: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a potential therapy for
patients with symptomatic, severe mitral regurgitation (MR). The feasibility of this therapy …

Background: Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a leading cause of mortality
and exclusion from transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Intentional laceration of …

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) was initially developed as a non-invasive diagnostic
tool to detect and quantify coronary stenosis. Thanks to the rapid technological …

Background: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a rapidly evolving therapy.
Follow-up of TMVR patients remains limited in duration and number treated. Objectives: The …
