Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of transcatheter valve-in-valve (TVIV) implantation using a novel balloon expandable Renato valve for degenerated tricuspid bioprostheses. A total of 12 patients underwent TVIV implantation via different approaches and achieved successful outcomes with no mortality and improved hemodynamic performance up to 6 months after the procedure.

Summary: The long-term outcomes of stentless and stented bioprostheses in aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis are controversial. This study found no significant differences in immediate postoperative outcomes and long-term survival between stentless and stented valves. However, the stentless valves demonstrated a lower transvalvular pressure gradient at 5-year follow-up.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of ViV-TAVI in patients with stentless and stented aortic bioprosthetic valve failure. The study found that both groups had comparable technical success, device success, and early safety. There were no significant differences in 30-day and 5-year mortality rates between the two groups.

Summary: This study reports the preliminary experience of using the Myval balloon-expandable device for transcatheter valve-in-valve mitral procedures. The results demonstrate that this approach is feasible and safe in high-risk patients with mitral bioprosthesis degeneration, avoiding the need for redo surgery.

Summary: This study compared the benefits of sutureless and conventional aortic valve prosthesis replacement. Sutureless aortic valve replacement is believed to have advantages such as shorter operation time and improved overall safety. The results showed that the clinical outcomes of sutureless aortic valve replacement were equivalent to conventional replacement. It should be reserved for elderly patients with increased comorbidity.

Summary: Interest in the pathophysiology, etiology, management, and outcomes of patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has grown. The aim of this document is to standardize definitions of disease etiology and severity, as well as endpoints for trials, to address the gaps in our knowledge related to identification and management of patients with TR.

Summary: Interest in TR has grown due to progressively worse outcomes associated with increasing TR severity. The aim of the Tricuspid Valve Academic Research Consortium document is to standardize definitions and endpoints for trials addressing knowledge gaps in TR management. Another document will focus on defining trial endpoints and discussing trial design options.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of sutureless and rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (SURD-AVR). The results showed that both procedures had similar in-hospital mortality and rate of major post-operative complications. The sutureless Perceval valve was associated with shorter operative times and increased anterior right thoracotomy incision, while the rapid deployment Intuity valve showed superior hemodynamic outcomes and a lower incidence of postoperative mild aortic regurgitation.

Summary: This study found that the use of the Perceval prosthesis for AVR significantly reduced operative mortality, but at the cost of an increased rate of PM implantation. Factors such as preexisting right bundle branch block, extra large valve size, and need for intraoperative repositioning were significant predictors of PM implantation.

Summary: This study compared two proprietary bioprostheses with different designs in terms of long-term durability and survival. The results showed that bioprostheses with externally mounted leaflets had a higher long-term reoperation rate compared to those with internally mounted leaflets, regardless of the patient's age. Survival was similar with both bioprostheses.

Summary: This paper reports the hemodynamic profiles of LuX-Valve, which show that the procedure improves cardiac output and right atrium pressure without significant effect on pulmonary artery pressure. Invasive right atrium pressure may be a potential indicator for evaluating and guiding the procedure.

Summary: In patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), the development of hemodynamic valve deterioration (HVD) is a common concern. This study found that developing HVD was associated with a higher risk of death during follow-up.

Summary: VIV-TAVI is an established procedure for high-risk patients, which reduces the risk of surgical intervention. However, this procedure still faces challenges such as prosthesis-patient mismatch and coronary obstruction. Therefore, optimizing procedural planning is crucial for reducing the risk of complications.

Summary: Observing mitral or tricuspid valve disease in athletes raises important considerations regarding etiology, eligibility for competitive sports, and the risk of severe arrhythmias. Imaging modalities play a crucial role in diagnosing and stratifying the risk of valve diseases in athletes, providing essential information about physiology and differentiating primary valve diseases from those secondary to cardiac adaptations related to training. Evaluating athletes during exercise using multimodality imaging can help reproduce the sport setting and better characterize the etiology and mechanism of valve defects.
