BACKGROUND: Aortic valve reconstruction using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium, also called Ozaki procedure, is a surgical procedure for patients with aortic valve disease. Gratifying results have been reported in adult patients, however, limited published data is available in paediatric population. This study looked at clinical characteristics and early outcomes of children who underwent Ozaki procedure at our Institute. METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted on children who underwent aortic valve reconstruction at Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI) from January 2019 through December 2022...

This study examines a complex scenario of structural valve degeneration (SVD) in a high surgical-risk patient with a previously implanted 25 mm Carpentier-Edwards (CE) Perimount Magna Ease 3300 (Irvine, CA: Edwards Lifesciences) surgical bioprosthetic valve (SAV), the patient presented with both paravalvular leak (PVL) and central prosthetic valve insufficiency (PVI). The patient was considered for a transaortic valve-in-valve (ViV) intervention with a self-expanding 29 mm Evolut R valve (Minneapolis, MN: Medtronic)...

BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether bioprostheses used for transcatheter aortic valve implantation will have similar long-term durability as those used for surgical aortic valve replacement. Repetitive mechanical stress applied to the valve leaflets, particularly during diastole, is the main determinant of structural valve deterioration. Leaflet mechanical stress cannot be measured in vivo. The objective of this in vitro/in silico study was thus to compare the magnitude and regional distribution of leaflet mechanical stress in old vs new generations of self-expanding (SE) vs balloon expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THVs)...

BACKGROUND: The eligibility and potential benefit of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in addition to guideline-directed medical therapy to treat moderate-severe or severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) has not been reported in a contemporary heart failure (HF) population. METHODS: Eligibility for TEER based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling: (1) HF symptoms, (2) moderate-severe or severe MR, (3) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 20% to 50%, (4) left ventricular end-systolic dimension 7...

The pathophysiology of aortic valve stenosis is degenerative and calcific. It may be exacerbated by atherosclerotic processes characterized by lipid accumulation and inflammation. When the stenosis gets hemodynamically severe, the valves would need to be replaced. They could be replaced using mechanical or bioprosthetic heart valves. Balloon-expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THVs) were compared to the self-expanding (SE) THVs and it was found that the rate of bioprosthetic valve failure was low over a five-year period...

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are small, slowly growing benign cardiac tumors with clinically significant risk of embolization. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment of symptomatic PFE and is conventionally performed through a median sternotomy. In this study, we report a series of 12 patients, who underwent robotic-assisted PFE removal at the Mayo Clinic. PFE involved the mitral valve, left atrium, and tricuspid valve. No major complications occurred after the procedure, and most patients were discharged 4 days after the surgery...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has increasingly become a fundamental approach for treating aortic valve stenosis (AVS), especially in high surgical risk patients. This case study underscores the criticality of meticulous procedural planning and precise valve selection in patients with severe AVS compounded by obesity. We report a case of a patient who, after receiving a 26 mm Edwards Sapiens 3 valve, presented with worsening exertional dyspnea and a declining indexed effective orifice area (EOAi)...

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid valve disease significantly affects 1.6 million Americans. The gold standard treatment for tricuspid disease is the implantation of annuloplasty devices. These ring-like devices come in various shapes and sizes. Choices for both shape and size are most often made by surgical intuition rather than scientific rationale. METHODS: To understand the impact of shape and size on valve mechanics and to provide a rational basis for their selection, we used a subject-specific finite element model to conduct a virtual case study...

OBJECTIVES: To determine guideline adherence pertaining to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) referral after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. METHODS: Children and adults with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging scans and at least moderate pulmonary regurgitation were prospectively enrolled in the Comprehensive Outcomes Registry Late After TOF Repair (CORRELATE). Individuals with previous PVR were excluded. Patients were classified according to presence (+) versus absence (-) of PVR and presence (+) versus absence (-) of contemporaneous guideline satisfaction...

BACKGROUND: The presence of severe aortic stenosis in quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is an extremely rare combination, and it is unknown whether transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe option due to the low incidence. CASE SUMMARY: We present two patients diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis with QAV morphology type 1 (Nakamura classification). All patients presented to our hospital for evaluation because of worsening functional class, dyspnoea, or syncope...

PURPOSE: Clinical outcomes following various surgical intervention strategies for aortic root and valve pathology during repair of acute type A aortic syndromes were studied and compared. METHODS: From 2004 to 2019, 634 patients underwent acute type A aortic repair. Patients were divided into 4 groups: Valve Resuspension ( n = 456), Isolated Valve Replacement (AVR) ( n = 24), Valve and Root Replacement (ROOT) ( n = 97), and Valve Sparing Root Replacement (VSRR) ( n = 57)...

Rapid deployment/sutureless (RDS) valves have recently emerged as an innovative surgical solution, providing an alternative to traditional methods of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) by eliminating the need for suture placement and tying. This innovation leads to a reduction in aortic crossclamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times, enhancing the efficiency of the procedure. Among the 2 available RDS valves, the Edwards Intuity valve in particular has been demonstrated to be a particularly promising substitute in the field of SAVR...

This consensus of nomenclature and classification for congenital bicuspid aortic valve and its aortopathy is evidence-based and intended for universal use by physicians (both pediatricians and adults), echocardiographers, advanced cardiovascular imaging specialists, interventional cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, pathologists, geneticists, and researchers spanning these areas of clinical and basic research. In addition, as long as new key and reference research is available, this international consensus may be subject to change based on evidence-based data1...

BACKGROUND: Gunshot wounds (GSW) to the heart are lethal, and most patients die before they arrive to the hospital. Survival decreases with number of cardiac chambers involved. We report a case of a 17-year-old male who survived a GSW injury involving two cardiac chambers with acute severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who subsequently developed cardiogenic shock requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old male sustained a single gunshot wound to the left chest, resulting in pericardial tamponade and right hemothorax...

Tricuspid valve annuloplasty is the gold standard surgical treatment for functional tricuspid valve regurgitation. During this procedure, ring-like devices are implanted to reshape the diseased tricuspid valve annulus and to restore function. For the procedure, surgeons can choose from multiple available device options varying in shape and size. In this article, we provide the three-dimensional (3D) scanned geometry (*.stl) and reduced midline (*.vtk) of five different annuloplasty devices of all commercially available sizes...

In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration approved a second mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair device for the treatment of primary mitral regurgitation (PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA). The PASCAL Precision system consists of a guide sheath, implant system, and accessories. The implant system consists of a steerable catheter, an implant catheter, and the implant (PASCAL or PASCAL Ace). The guide sheath and steerable catheter move and flex independently from each other and are not keyed, allowing for freedom of rotation in three dimensions...
