Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries and nearly one-third of the patients with isolated, native valve disease are diagnosed with significant MR, according to the Euro Heart Survey on Valvular Heart Disease.1
Mitral valve (MV) complex is a very complicated structure which consists of the mitral annulus (MA), valve leaflets, papillary…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex disorder requiring the understanding of mitral anatomy and pathophysiology. With the increasing patient population of mitral regurgitation, both functional and degenerative types, and our desire for less invasive treatment approaches, transcatheter mitral valve therapies (TMVT) have emerged. After more than a decade of advancements, development in TMVT still…

Accumulating evidence suggests that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is independently associated with reduced long-term survival in the community and patients with ischaemic or dilated cardiomyopathy.1 Patients with moderate-to-severe TR suffer symptoms of progressive right heart failure, which are often difficult to treat with diuretic therapy. Prevalence estimates based on data from the Framingham…

The leading aetiology of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in developed countries is functional, secondary to left side heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.1 Currently, moderate-to-severe TR affects approximately 1.6 million patients in the United States, of whom only 8,000 undergo tricuspid surgery annually;2 this results in an extremely large number of untreated patients with significant TR, a…

A substantial number of patients develop a subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
The thrombus forms on the leaflets, which can lead to valve dysfunction and possibly to early valve degeneration. Multidetector computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging technique at detecting SLT.
Patients on antiplatelet drugs are at higher risk to…

Since the first ‘proof-of-concept’ case of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was reported by Cribier and colleagues in 2002, more than 200,000 patients have undergone the procedure in approximately 65 countries.1,2 Since its inception, the majority of patients undergoing TAVI have been considered inoperable or high risk for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) as…

Dr Federico M Asch (MedStar Health Research Institute, Georgetown University, Washington DC, WA, US) discusses the latest findings from the Global EXPAND Study. Their research looked into mitral valve leaflet events with MitraClip (NTR/XTR).
Questions:
1. Can you briefly remind us what the EXPAND registry is and what it assesses?
2. What research have you conducted on leaflet adverse…

Leaflet motion abnormalities (LMAs) are a relatively new entity in the field of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs).1–4 They can be associated with the thrombosis of the bioprosthesis (TAVT), often leading to dramatic clinical scenarios1 or, on the other hand, they can result in a hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and/or reduced leaflet motion (RELM), both usually associated with gradients…
