Fetal aortic valvuloplasty is considered for fetuses with severe valvar aortic stenosis and echocardiographic features suggesting a risk of progression to hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Though surgical options
COAPT Trial of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair in Patients with Heart Failure Patients with heart failure and left ventricular dilatation may have secondary or functional mitral regurgitation. This
PROTECTED TAVR – Cerebral embolic protection? Higher rates of stroke have been considered as a limitation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in comparison with surgical aortic valve
Interatrial septal device therapy in HFpEF Effective therapeutic modalities for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are lesser than those available for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the tricuspid valve After transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral valve, TEER for tricuspid valve is catching up. Data from the United States
Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) of Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) of the mitral valve is done for treatment of mitral regurgitation [1]. Anterior and posterior leaflets of
Rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOV) Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is usually due to a defect in the aortic media. A ventricular septal defect or aortic regurgitation
Aortic stenosis – TAVR (TAVI) vs SAVR As with other cardiac conditions, ACC/AHA guidelines divide aortic stenosis also into stages A to D. In stage A there are
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation has the elite distinction that it was first percutaneous intervention for a regurgitant lesion in humans [1]. Bonhoeffer P et
Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair Mitral regurgitation is the commonest valvular lesion, due to aging of the population at large and degenerative valvular heart disease overtaking rheumatic heart disease.
