    Abstract A 65-year-old obese woman with rheumatic heart disease and restrictive lung disease presented with decompensated heart failure. Evaluation demonstrated severely thickened mitral valve leaflets, severe mitral stenosis, and moderate mitral regurgitation. She underwent successful transfemoral transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement with a dedicated valve resulting in improved functional status. (

    Abstract Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease worldwide with a 5-year mortality rate of 50 % with medical therapy alone. Several transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) devices are being investigated in clinical trials. Early evidence has demonstrated clinical benefits with a reduction in heart failure symptoms, low rates of residual MR, and reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) over time. However, high anatomical screen failure rates limit its applicability. The primary reasons for the anatomical screen failure are risk of LV outflow tract obstruction, large mitral valve annulus size, and the presence of mitral annular calcification. Our clinical experiences using an atrial only fixation TMVR technology delivered via a transfemoral-transseptal approach is described.
    Methods: Three consecutive patients with severe functional MR underwent TMVR implantation using an atrial only fixation technology and a low-profile transseptal delivery system.
    Results: Technical success was achieved in 100 % of the patients with a clinically significant reduction in MR. Longer-term follow-up (up to 6-months) has demonstrated a sustained reduction in MR and significant improvement in quality of life for all patients.
    Conclusions: Longer-term outcomes in our patients showed persistent reduction in MR, sustained implant performance, and notable improvements in NYHA Class and quality of life. There were no major adverse events. Follow-up CT data showed no evidence of device-related thrombosis, with stable valve position and integrity. The atrial fixation TMVR technology may have benefits in preserving the dynamics of the native mitral valve annulus thereby reducing the overall risk of LVOT obstruction.
    Short abstract: We present a single-center experience of three consecutive patients with severe functional MR treated with the AltaValve using a low-profile transseptal delivery system. A clinically significant reduction in mitral regurgitation was achieved in all patients, and longer-term follow-up has demonstrated sustained clinical benefits.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Hypertension (HTN) has a growing impact, already affecting over 1 billion people. An estimated 2-16% of those with HTN have resistant HTN. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a recognized contributor to the pathophysiology of resistant HTN. Current hypertensive pharmacotherapy has not fully targeted the SNS; therefore, the SNS has become a prominent research therapeutic target. This review summarizes the evidence and rationale behind renal denervation (RDN) therapy and the technology available.
    Recent findings: Prior to the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 clinical trial, trials found RDN to be an effective procedure to control resistant hypertension. The failure of SYMPLICITY HTN-3 to meet its primary efficacy endpoint sparked further studies to address potential shortcomings. The subsequent SPYRAL program trials demonstrated efficacy of RDN therapy in a controlled manner; however, they were not adequately powered. Ongoing research is examining new, innovative RDN technology as well as defining appropriate patients to target for treatment. The data currently available for RDN in HTN and other states of SNS activation suffer from potential biases and limitations, highlighting the need for continued exploration. Contemporary studies are more promising and hypothesis-generating. Future trials and continued device innovation will be crucial for understanding the clinical applications of RDN therapy.

    Abstract A 79-year-old man with prior bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement presented with progressive shortness of breath and was found to have right upper pulmonary vein stenosis and paravalvular leak diagnosed with the use of multimodal imaging. The patient underwent balloon angioplasty, stenting of the pulmonary vein, and paravalvular leak closure with ultimate resolution of symptoms. (

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 has spread worldwide and has caused significant morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury and thrombo-embolism are known complications for those with severe forms of disease. The incidence and risk factors for these complications for those patients who are asymptomatic or with mild forms of COVID-19 is unknown.
    Case summary: In this report we describe the case of a 35-year-old man with no past cardiac history who presented with chest pain and a high-sensitivity troponin level of 386 ng/L in the context of an unspecified mild viral illness 1 month previously. Diagnostic evaluation revealed a new cardiomyopathy, left ventricular thrombus, and mid right coronary artery thrombosis. The coronary thrombosis was treated with thrombectomy. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies returned positive. He initially did well post-procedure; however, prior to discharge, he developed a second arterial thrombo-embolism event, a middle cerebral artery stroke. He was treated with thrombectomy and remains hospitalized.
    Discussion: Recognition that mild COVID-19 can be complicated by subsequent cardiac injury and/or coagulopathy is important. As more people recover from this viral illness and return to normal activity levels, discussion among cardiac experts has begun regarding screening for occult myocardial injury in those who plan to resume competitive athletic activity. This case highlights the need for investigation regarding (i) the duration of thrombophilia after recovery from illness; (ii) the population that should receive thromboprophylaxis; and (iii) the duration of thromboprophylaxis therapy for COVID-19.
