This manuscript reports a pregnant patient who developed thrombosis of her mechanical pulmonary valve, necessitating re-replacement of the valve and the trunk.

As minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) continues to gain acceptance, concomitant tricuspid valve (TV) repair in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is increasingly encountered.

A retrospective study using the US Medicare database compared outcomes for patients with advanced emphysema who underwent endobronchial valve (EBV) therapy vs lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS).

In this retrospective study, the authors analyzed outcomes in 245 patients with left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) and noninfected cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) who underwent cardiac surgery, using data from the CAMPAIGN Registry, which included 4,917 patients operated on between 1994 and 2018.

Cardiac valve replacement during pregnancy is a high-risk operation that is performed occasionally when indicated. This study queried the Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac disease (ROPAC) III database, as well as available cases in the literature, and found an overall maternal mortality of 9 percent, while fetal mortality was 34 percent.

Heart valve disease is a leading cause of mortality, with increasing incidence due to an aging population. Early referral to specialized heart networks is vital, as late diagnosis often leads to palliative rather than curative treatment.

Mitral valve leaflet and subvalvular apparatus abnormalities can cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in the absence of septal hypertrophy.

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of mitral valve (MV) repair vs replacement after failed mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER). A total of 332 patients across 34 centers from the CUTTING-EDGE registry underwent MV surgery after M-TEER from 2009 to 2020. Outcomes were compared between MV repair and replacement.

Living allogeneic heart valve transplant (HVT) first emerged in 2022, featuring the unique advantage of being a valve capable of growth and self-repair over time, thus reducing the number of reoperations required in children undergoing valve intervention.
