Abstract:
Two heart transplant patients aged 80 and 83 years with recurrent heart failure due to severe tricuspid regurgitation are reported. In view of their high perioperative risk, both patients underwent percutaneous transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair, and both experienced excellent technical success, with favorable 2-year clinical outcome. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

59
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is characterized by retrograde blood circulation from the left ventricle into the left atrium due to inadequate mitral valve closure. The severity of the condition, symptoms, and underlying cause determine treatment strategies.Monitoring and Pharmacological TreatmentPatients with mild to moderate MR typically do not need immediate intervention but regular monitoring to assess progression and guide treatment. Patients with mild MR should have an echocardiogram every 3-5...

01:26Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management
50
Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage.
