Bioprosthetic valve use has increased significantly. Considering their limited durability, there
will remain an ongoing clinical need for repairing or replacing these prostheses in the future …

Background: The risk of surgical mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral
annular calcification (MAC) is high. Several patients worldwide with severe MAC have been …

Transcatheter heart valve interventions have transformed the outcomes of patients with
valvular heart disease (VHD) who are unfavourable candidates for surgery. Technological …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the outcomes of the early experience of
transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with balloon-expandable valves in patients …

Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is fairly common in the general population and is
associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although surgical mitral valve (MV) repair …

Background Because of demographic changes, a growing number of elderly patients
present with mitral valve (MV) disease. Although mitral valve repair (MV‐repair) is the “gold …

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as a less invasive
alternative to open-heart surgery in inoperable or high-risk patients presenting with …

Objectives With the emergence of transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve/ring replacement for
deteriorated bioprostheses or failed repair, comparative clinical benchmarks for surgical …

3D printing an anatomically accurate, functional flow loop phantom of a patient's cardiac
vasculature was used to assist in the surgical planning of one of the first native transcatheter …

Abstract Introduction Three‐dimensional (3D) prototyping is a novel technology which can
be used to plan and guide complex procedures such as transcatheter mitral valve …
