Investigators saw more deaths in patients with severe TR after repeat mitral valve procedures; what to do about it is unclear ...

Background: Limited data exists describing Impella-related mechanical mitral valve complications. Diagnosis and management can be challenging due to potential underestimation of mitral regurgitation ...

Careful interrogation of the MV was performed with multiplanar transesophageal echocardiography to determine which commissural ... One patient (case 9) had severe mitral regurgitation due to recent, ...

These are the inlet valves to the two ventricles, the mitral valve on the left side and the tricuspid valve on the right.

Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is a complex and evolving challenge in the landscape of ... Or should we adopt an integrated approach, incorporating early mitral valve intervention, especially ...

Echo parameters: The beneficial effect of transcatheter mitral valve replacement compared with GDMT alone was consistent in all echocardiographic subgroups, independent of the severity of LV ...

For patients with symptomatic and severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) yields substantial improvement ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type ... primary tool used for diagnosis is echocardiography.

Severe tricuspid regurgitation is associated with disabling symptoms and an increased risk of death. Data regarding outcomes after percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid-valve replacement are needed.
