This review article aims to examine the surgical approach to patients with failed mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), focusing on operative challenges, decision-making, and contemporary outcome data. Technical considerations, including device removal and the management of complex mitral valve (MV) anatomy, are discussed.

This video demonstrates the repair of a membranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) several weeks post transcatheter aortic valve replacement with an unrecognized root rupture, highlighting the VSD patch, root enlargement, and left ventricular venting via the left atrial appendage.

This article studied the use of both surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis, including both classical and paradoxical variants of the condition.

This case review discusses the successful management of a rare complication during transcatheter aortic valve implantation in which the valve migrated to the left ventricle, requiring emergent removal and surgical replacement, emphasizing the importance of a heart team's prompt response for favorable outcomes.

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.

Women with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis are underrepresented in clinical trials. The Randomized Research in Women All Comers with Aortic Stenosis (RHEIA) trial investigates the balance of benefits and risks of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to surgery in women.
