In the context of an ageing population, care for valvular disease is becoming an increasingly important field. A recent large-scale population-based study found the prevalence of valvular disease to be 8.5 % in the 65–74-year-old group and 13.2 % in those over 75 years. 1 While mechanical surgical valves are more durable, bioprosthetic valves are often used as they are less thrombogenic and do…

There has been a recent explosion in the field of transcatheter aortic and pulmonary valve replacements, but the atrio-ventricular valves have lagged behind for various reasons with the tricuspid valve undoubtedly the least treated valve of the four. Despite the fact that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can result in significant symptoms, patients are rarely referred for isolated surgical tricuspid…

Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) has long been the standard of care for aortic valve replacement. More recently, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as a safe, effective and less invasive method of valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate or high risk for complications related to SAVR.1–4 For patients who present with…

The demand for replacing degenerated bioprosthetic valves (BPVs) is steadily rising owing to the increasing burden of heart disease, ageing populations, advances in surgical intervention and limited durability of current-generation surgical BPVs. The issue is exacerbated by the increasing trend of surgical BPV replacement, especially in younger patients who are likely to require future…

As the field of interventional cardiology has grown, so too has interest in mitigating severe adverse outcomes such as stroke. Unfortunately, the risk of stroke is increased by many underlying disease conditions (atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, carotid artery disease and other vascular disease affecting brain perfusion, etc.), making clear differentiation between cardiac intervention…

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is encountered in approximately 1% of pregnancies, significantly increasing both maternal and foetal risk.1,2 Rheumatic VHD remains the most common form in non-Western countries, whereas congenital heart disease dominates in the Western world.3,4 As increasing numbers of women with congenital heart disease are reaching childbearing age, the prevalence of women of…
