Abstract
Background: National data about the outcomes of children undergoing mechanical mitral valve replacement (m-MVR) are scarce. Methods: A retrospective review of hospitalizations from the Kids' Inpatient Database was performed for patients ≤18 years of age in the United States. A total of 500 patients underwent m-MVR in 2009, 2012, 2016, and 2019. Patients with single ventricle physiology were excluded (n = 13). These patients were categorized into three groups according to age: neonates (<1 month, n = 20), infants (1-12 months, n = 76 patients), and children (1-18 years, n = 404). Outcomes were compared between the three groups. Results: The proportion of m-MVR involving children undergoing MV procedures (repair and replacement) has increased from 17.3% in 2009 to 30.8% in 2019 (Ptrend < .01). History of cardiac surgery was present in 256 patients (51.2%). Concomitant procedures were performed in 119 patients (23.8%). Intra- or postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was required in 19 patients (3.8%). The overall in-hospital mortality was 4.8% and was significantly higher in neonates and infants compared with older children (10% vs 11.8% vs 3.2%, P = .003). The length of hospital stay was longer in the neonatal group (median, 57 days, interquartile range, [24.8-90] vs 29.5 days [15.5-61] vs 10 days [7-18], P < .01). Nonhome discharges were more common in neonates and infants (40% vs 36.8% vs 13.1%, P < .01). Conclusion: Mechanical mitral valve replacement is increasingly performed over time with acceptable in-hospital morbidity and mortality, especially in older children and adolescents. Neonates and infants are associated with worse hospital survival, prolonged hospitalization, and significant rates of nonhome discharges.

Abstract
Objectives The mechanism by which mitral valve (MV) disease leads to atrial fibrillation (AF) remains poorly understood. Delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) has been used to assess left atrial (LA) fibrosis in patients with lone AF before catheter ablation; however, few studies have used DE-MRI to assess MV-induced LA fibrosis in patients with or without AF undergoing MV surgery. Methods Between March 2018 and September 2022, 38 subjects were enrolled; 15 age-matched controls, 14 patients with lone mitral regurgitation (MR), and 9 patients with MR and AF (MR + AF). Indexed LA volume, total LA wall, and regional LA posterior wall (LAPW) enhancement were defined by the DE-MRI. One-way analysis of variance was performed. Results LA volume and LA enhancement were associated (r = 0.451, P = .004). LA volume differed significantly between controls (37.1 ± 10.6 mL) and patients with lone MR (71.0 ± 35.9, P = .020 and controls and patients with MR + AF (99.3 ± 47.4, P < .001). The difference in LA enhancement was significant between MR + AF (16.7 ± 9.6%) versus controls (8.3 ± 3.9%, P = .006) and MR + AF versus lone MR (8.0 ± 4.8%, P = .004). Similarly, the was significantly more LAPW enhancement in the MR + AF (17.5 ± 8.7%) versus control (9.2 ± 5.1%, P = .011) and MR + AF versus lone MR (9.8 ± 6.0%, P = .020). Conclusions Patients with MR + AF had significantly more total and LAPW fibrosis compared with both controls and lone MR. Volume and delayed enhancement were associated, but there was no difference between MR and MR + AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has been shown to increase the neo-left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area before transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) but there is little literature on its success and use with dedicated devices. AIMS To describe our experience with preemptive ASA to increase the predicted neo-LVOT area and its utility with both dedicated TMVR devices and balloon-expandable valves. METHODS All patients who underwent ASA for TMVR candidacy in our center between May 2018 and October 2022 and had computed tomography (CT) scans done before and after ASA were included. Each CT was assessed for the minimum predicted neo-LVOT area at end-systole, using a virtual valve of the desired TMVR device for each patient. The primary outcome was an increase in the predicted neo-LVOT area after ASA that was deemed sufficient for safe implantation of the desired TMVR device. The secondary outcome was the absence of acute LVOT obstruction after TMVR. RESULTS A total of 12 patients underwent ASA and all but 1 (n = 11, 91.6%) achieved the primary outcome of having sufficient predicted neo-LVOT area to proceed with TMVR. The mean increase in neo-LVOT area after ASA was 126 ± 64 mm2 (median 119.5, interquartile range: 65.0-163.5 mm2 ). Two patients (16.7%) required a permanent pacemaker after ASA. Nine patients went on and underwent TMVR with their respective devices and none had LVOT obstruction after the procedure. Among the remaining three patients, one had insufficient neo-LVOT clearance after ASA, one had unrelated mortality before TMVR, and one had advanced heart failure before TMVR. CONCLUSION In appropriately selected patients and at centers experienced with ASA, preemptive ASA can achieve sufficient neo-LVOT clearance for TMVR with a variety of devices in approximately 90% of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mitral annular calcification (MAC) by computed tomography (CT) is reported as an independent predictor of poor outcomes. However, it currently remains unclear if quantitative MAC parameters provide more value for mitral valve disease (MVD) management, therefore, we examined the prognostic value of MAC scores using noncontrast cardiac-CT in MVD patients. METHODS Between January 2020 and December 2021, we prospectively enrolled 300 consecutive patients with MVD (MAC-present = 80 and MAC-absent = 220) undergoing preoperative cardiac-CT and mitral valve (MV) surgery. Noncontrast cardiac-CT images were used to qualitatively detect MAC (present or absent) and evaluate MAC scores. For analyses, we also collected baseline clinical data, intraoperative conversion (from MV repair to MV replacement), and follow-up arrhythmia data. RESULTS Compared with the MAC-absent group, MAC-present patients were older (62 ± 7 vs. 58 ± 9 years, p < .001), mostly women (55% vs. 39.5%, p = .017), and also had aortic valve calcification (57.5% vs. 23.2%, p < .001), mitral stenosis (82.5% vs. 61.8%, p < .001), atrial fibrillation (30% vs. 11.8%, p < .001), and larger left atrial end-diastolic dimension (LADD, 49 [44-56] versus 46 [41-50], p = .001]. Furthermore, MAC-present patients underwent more MV replacements (61.8% vs. 82.5%, p = .001) and experienced a higher intraoperative conversion prevalence (11.8% vs. 61.3%, p < .001). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that the female gender (odds ratio [OR]/95% confidence interval [CI]/p = 2.001/1.042-3.841/0.037) and MAC scores (OR/95% CI/p = 10.153/4.434-23.253/p < .001) were independent predictors of intraoperative conversion. During a follow-up of 263 ± 134 days, MAC-present patients had more arrhythmias (42.5% vs. 9.5%, p < .001). Also, MAC-scores (hazard ratio [HR]/95% CI/p = 6.841/3.322-14.089/p < .001) and LADD (HR/95% CI/p = 1.039/1.018-1.060/p < .001) were independently associated with arrhythmias by Cox regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS Noncontrast cardiac CT-derived MAC-scores showed a high risk for intraoperative conversion and follow-up arrhythmias in MVD-patients.

Abstract
While mitral valve (MV) repair remains the preferred clinical option for mitral regurgitation (MR) treatment, long-term outcomes remain suboptimal and difficult to predict. Furthermore, pre-operative optimization is complicated by the heterogeneity of MR presentations and the multiplicity of potential repair configurations. In the present work, we established a patient-specific MV computational pipeline based strictly on standard-of-care pre-operative imaging data to quantitatively predict the post-repair MV functional state. First, we established human mitral valve chordae tendinae (MVCT) geometric characteristics obtained from five CT-imaged excised human hearts. From these data, we developed a finite-element model of the full patient-specific MV apparatus that included MVCT papillary muscle origins obtained from both the in vitro study and the pre-operative three-dimensional echocardiography images. To functionally tune the patient-specific MV mechanical behavior, we simulated pre-operative MV closure and iteratively updated the leaflet and MVCT prestrains to minimize the mismatch between the simulated and target end-systolic geometries. Using the resultant fully calibrated MV model, we simulated undersized ring annuloplasty (URA) by defining the annular geometry directly from the ring geometry. In three human cases, the postoperative geometries were predicted to 1 mm of the target, and the MV leaflet strain fields demonstrated close agreement with noninvasive strain estimation technique targets. Interestingly, our model predicted increased posterior leaflet tethering after URA in two recurrent patients, which is the likely driver of long-term MV repair failure. In summary, the present pipeline was able to predict postoperative outcomes from pre-operative clinical data alone. This approach can thus lay the foundation for optimal tailored surgical planning for more durable repair, as well as development of mitral valve digital twins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left atrial enlargement and fibrosis have been linked to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). The authors aimed to introduce a novel concept and develop a new procedure for AF treatment based on these characteristics. METHODS The study included three stages. The first stage was a descriptive study to clarify the characteristics of the left atrial enlargement and fibrosis' distribution in patients with mitral valve disease and long-standing persistent AF. Based on these characteristics, the authors introduced a novel concept for AF treatment, and then translated it into a new procedure. The second stage was a proof-of-concept study with this new procedure. The third stage was a comparative effectiveness research to compare the clinical outcomes between patients with this new procedure and those who received Cox-Maze IV treatment. RESULTS Based on the nonuniform fashion of left atrial enlargement and fibrosis' distribution, the authors introduced a novel concept: reconstructing a left atrium with appropriate geometry and uniform fibrosis' distribution for proper cardiac conduction, and translated it into a new procedure: left atrial geometric volume reduction combined with left appendage base closure. As compared to the Cox-Maze IV procedure, the new procedure spent significantly shorter total surgery time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and aortic cross-clamp time ( P <0.001). Besides, the new procedure was related to a shorter ICU stay period (odd ratio (OR)=0.45, 95% CI=0.26-0.78), lower costs (OR=0.15, 95% CI=0.08-0.29), and a higher rate of A wave of transmitral and transtricuspid flow reappearance (OR=1.76, 95% CI=1.02-3.04). CONCLUSIONS The new procedure is safe and effective for eliminating AF associated with mitral valve disease.

Abstract
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is used extensively in patients with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation and high surgical risk. While prosthetic valve endocarditis is well documented, infective endocarditis (IE) after TEER is a rare occurrence. To date, no study has been conducted on this complication. We report the case of an 85-year-old man who developed IE 3 months after undergoing TEER, and we systematically review 26 previously published cases of this complication. Our review findings indicate that discussion within the heart team is essential for the decision-making process and treatment strategy determination.

Abstract
Observing mitral or tricuspid valve disease in an athlete raises many considerations for the clinician. Initially, the etiology must be clarified, with causes differing depending on whether the athlete is young or a master. Notably, vigorous training in competitive athletes leads to a constellation of structural and functional adaptations involving cardiac chambers and atrioventricular valve systems. In addition, a proper evaluation of the athlete with valve disease is necessary to evaluate the eligibility for competitive sports and identify those requiring more follow-up. Indeed, some valve pathologies are associated with an increased risk of severe arrhythmias and potentially sudden cardiac death. Traditional and advanced imaging modalities help clarify clinical doubts, allowing essential information about the athlete's physiology and differentiating between primary valve diseases from those secondary to training-related cardiac adaptations. Remarkably, another application of multimodality imaging is evaluating athletes with valve diseases during exercise to reproduce the sport setting and better characterize the etiology and valve defect mechanism. This review aims to analyze the possible causes of atrioventricular valve diseases in athletes, focusing primarily on imaging applications in diagnosis and risk stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Valvular heart disease constitutes a considerable amount of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is a scarcity of data from Africa. METHODS In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, we documented the demographic, clinical and echocardiographic features of current patients with adult mitral valve disease (MVD) at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital from December 2018 to March 2019. RESULTS The study included 134 patients (mean age 50 ± 13.3 years) and 77% were female. The majority were of African ethnicity (96%). Mitral regurgitation (39%), followed by mixed MVD (38%) were the dominant lesions. Mitral stenosis was found in 23% of the patients. The main aetiologies were rheumatic heart disease (80%), mitral valve prolapse (11%), myxomatous degeneration (6%) and infective endocarditis (3%). Hypertension (30%) and HIV (12%) were the main co-morbidities. Heart failure was present in 78% of the patients at index hospitalisation. The main complications were pulmonary hypertension (28%) and atrial fibrillation (14%). CONCLUSION The patients with MVD tended to be older African females with co-morbidities who had predominant rheumatic mitral regurgitation.

Abstract
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a progressive degenerative calcification of the mitral valve (MV) that is associated with mitral stenosis, regurgitation or both. Patients with MAC are poor candidates for MV surgery because of technical challenges and high peri-operative mortality. Transcatheter MV replacement (TMVR) has emerged as an option for such high surgical risk patients. This has been described with the use of the SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve (valve-in-MAC) and dedicated TMVR devices. Careful anatomic assessment is important to avoid complications of TMVR, such as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, valve migration, embolization and paravalvular mitral regurgitation. In this review, we discuss the pathology, importance of preprocedural multimodality imaging for optimal patient selection, clinical outcomes and complications associated with TMVR in patients with MAC.

Abstract
Background Racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes exist following many cardiac procedures. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has grown as an alternative to mitral valve surgery for patients at high surgical risk. The outcomes of TMVR by race and ethnicity are unknown. We aimed to evaluate racial and ethnic disparities in the outcomes of TMVR. Methods and Results We analyzed the National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2020 to identify hospitalizations for TMVR. Racial and ethnic disparities in TMVR outcomes were determined using logistic regression models. Between 2016 and 2020, 5005 hospitalizations for TMVR were identified, composed of 3840 (76.7%) White race, 505 (10.1%) Black race, 315 (6.3%) Hispanic ethnicity, and 345 (6.9%) from other races (Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, Other). Compared with other racial and ethnic groups, Black patients were significantly younger and more likely to be women (both P<0.01). There were no significant differences between White, Black, and Hispanic patients in in-hospital mortality (5.2% versus 5.0% versus <3.5%; P=0.89) and procedural complications, including heart block (P=0.91), permanent pacemaker (P=0.49), prosthetic valve dysfunction (P=0.45), stroke (P=0.37), acute kidney injury (P=0.32), major bleeding (P=0.23), and blood transfusion (P=0.92), even after adjustment for baseline characteristics. Adjusted vascular complications were higher in Black compared with White patients (P=0.03). Trend analysis revealed a significant increase in TMVR in all racial and ethnic groups from 2016 to 2020 (Ptrend<0.05). Conclusions Between 2016 and 2020, Black and Hispanic patients undergoing TMVR had similar in-hospital outcomes compared with White patients, except for higher vascular complications in Black patients. Further comparative studies of TMVR in clinically similar White patients and other racial and ethnic groups are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a critical problem in developed countries. Few studies have compared the long-term outcomes of bioprosthetic valves and mechanical valves in patients with RHD who have received mitral valve (MV) replacement. METHODS Patients with RHD who received MV replacement with bioprosthetic or mechanical valves were identified between 2000 and 2013 from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. The primary late outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality and redo MV surgery. Propensity score matching at a 1:1 ratio was performed. RESULTS We identified 3638 patients with RHD who underwent MV replacement. Among those patients, 1075 (29.5%) and 2563 (70.5%) chose a bioprosthetic valve and mechanical valve, respectively. After matching, 788 patients were assigned to each group. No significant difference in the risk of in-hospital mortality was observed between groups (P = .920). Higher risks of all-cause mortality (10-year actuarial estimates: 50.6% vs 45.5%; hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.41; P = .040) and MV reoperation (10-year actuarial estimates: 8.9% vs 0.93%; subdistribution hazard ratio, 4.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.71-12.17; P <.01) were observed in the bioprosthetic valve group. Furthermore, the relative mortality benefit associated with mechanical valves was more apparent in younger patients and the beneficial effect persisted until approximately 65 years of age. CONCLUSIONS In the patients with RHD who underwent MV replacement, mechanical valves were associated with more favorable long-term outcomes in patients younger than the age of 65 years.

Abstract
Background Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) using the MitraClip has become a well-established interventional therapy and is usually performed in elderly patients. The objective of this study was to assess 2-year clinical outcomes of TMVR in patients aged <65 years at three heart centres with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and no surgical options. Methods A retrospective study analysed data of 36 patients aged <65 years treated with TMVR . All patients were refused surgery by Heart Team decision. Baseline MR was assessed by biplane vena contracta width in two perpendicular views (mean 8.35 ± 1.87 mm). Degenerative MR was detected in 11 patients (30.6%); functional MR was detected in 25 patients (69.4%). Results Acute procedural success was accomplished in 88.9% of patients. No procedure-related mortality during the first 30 days was detected. Over an average of 2 years of follow-up, all-cause mortality was 19.4% and cardiovascular death was 11.1% owing to advanced heart failure. The average follow-up period was 25.8 months (median was 20 months). Statistically significant difference (p-value <0.01) was detected for N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (pg/ml) at baseline (mean 9,870 ± 10,819; median 7,748) compared to follow-up visits (mean 7,645 ± 11,292; median 3,263). New York Heart Association functional class improvement was achieved in 69% of patients. A second intervention (reclipping) was required in two patients to correct recurrent significant MR. Conclusion TMVR in patients aged <65 years refused surgical repair provides satisfactory clinical outcomes at 2 years. Future studies should evaluate the outcomes of MitraClip in this population in a larger cohort.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to develop a prediction model to assist surgeons in choosing an appropriate surgical approach for mitral valve disease patients. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 143 patients who underwent surgery for mitral valve disease. The XGBoost algorithm was used to establish a predictive model to decide a surgical approach (mitral valve repair or replacement) based on the echocardiographic features of the mitral valve apparatus, such as leaflets, the annulus, and sub-valvular structures. The results showed that the accuracy of the predictive model was 81.09% in predicting the appropriate surgical approach based on the patient's preoperative echocardiography. The result of the predictive model was superior to the traditional complexity score (81.09% vs. 75%). Additionally, the predictive model showed that the three main factors affecting the choice of surgical approach were leaflet restriction, calcification of the leaflet, and perforation or cleft of the leaflet. We developed a novel predictive model using the XGBoost algorithm based on echocardiographic features to assist surgeons in choosing an appropriate surgical approach for patients with mitral valve disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate sex differences in in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmission rates among patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in the United States of America. BACKGROUND Women have higher rates of mortality and rehospitalization than men following many cardiac procedures. TMVR has grown as an alternative to mitral valve surgery for patients at high surgical risk. The rates of TMVR mortality and rehospitalization by sex are unknown. METHODS We analyzed the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from 2016 to 2019 to identify hospitalizations for TMVR. Sex differences in in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmissions were determined using logistic regression models. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2019, 4109 hospitalizations for TMVR were identified, comprised of 1758 (42.8%) men and 2351 (57.2%) women. The median age was 74 years for both men and women. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality during index hospitalization (6.51% vs. 6.69%; p = 0.852) and all-cause 90-day readmission (28.19% vs. 29.59%; p = 0.563) between men and women. Across the study period, trend analysis did not reveal a significant change in in-hospital mortality (men p = 0.087, women p = 0.194) or 90-day readmission rates (men p = 0.569, women p = 0.454). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing TMVR, in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmissions are similar between men and women. Between 2016 and 2019, TMVR in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmission rates remained unchanged. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to measure the concentration of Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and N-terminal-prohormone-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), in the serum of dogs with degenerative Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), in order to identify their association with the clinical stage and specific clinico-pathologic and echocardiographic findings.Eighty dogs diagnosed with MVD and staged according to the ACVIM (American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine) consensus statement (B1, B2, C and D), based on their clinical, radiographic, and echocardiographic findings, were included in the study. NT-proBNP was measured only in stage B1 and B2 dogs. Clinical stage did not have a significant effect on PON-1 concentrations (p = 0.149), but NT-proBNP levels were lower in B1 dogs (p = 0.001). A significant correlation between PON-1 and total plasma proteins (p = 0.001), albumin (p = 0.003) and white blood cell count (p = 0.041) was detected, whereas there was no significant correlation (p = 0.847) between PON-1 and NT-proBNP concentrations. PON-1 showed a significant but weak negative correlation with normalized left ventricular internal diameter at diastole (LVIDdn) (p = 0.022) and systole (LVIDsn) (p = 0.012), as well as mitral valve E to A wave velocity ratio (MV E/A) (p = 0.015), but not with Left Atrial to Aortic root ratio (LA/Ao) (p = 0.892) or fractional shortening (FS%) (p = 0.944). PON-1 seems to be an insensitive marker of clinical stage and disease severity in MVD, but can be indicative of some clinico-pathological and echocardiographic changes. NT-proBNP changes are independent of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) using the SAPIEN platform has been performed in failed bioprosthetic valves (valve-in-valve), surgical annuloplasty rings (valve-in-ring), and native valves with mitral annular calcification (MAC) (valve-in-MAC). Experience over the past decade has identified important challenges and solutions to improve clinical outcomes. In this review, we discuss the indication, trend in utilization, unique challenges, procedural planning, and clinical outcomes of valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, and valve-in-MAC TMVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Redo mitral valve surgeries have high mortality and morbidity and can be physically demanding for patients. Median sternotomy remains the gold standard for most cardiac surgeries. To tackle certain risks with a re-sternotomy, alternative procedures such as the right anterolateral minithoracotomy have been explored. This review aims to compare the clinical outcomes of re-sternotomy (MS) versus right mini thoracotomy (MT) in mitral valve surgery. METHODS A systematic, electronic search was performed according to Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines to identify relevant articles that compared outcomes of the MS versus MT procedures in patients who have had cardiac surgery via a MS approach. RESULTS Twelve studies were identified, enrolling 4514 patients. Length of hospital stay(MD = -3.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-4.92, -2.49]), 30-day mortality(odds ratio [OR] = 0.59, 95% CI [0.39, 0.90]), and new-onset renal failure(OR = 0.38, 95% CI [0.22, 0.65]) were statistically significant in favor of the MT approach. Infection rates(OR = 0.56, 95% CI[0.25, 1.21]) and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (MD = -0.55, 95% CI[-1.16, 0.06]) was lower in the MT group; however, the difference was not significant. No significant differences were observed in the CPB time(MD = -2.33, 95% CI [-8.15, 3.50]), aortic cross-clamp time MD = -1.67, 95% CI[-17.07, 13.76]), and rates of stroke(OR = 1.03, 95% CI[0.55, 1.92]). CONCLUSION Right MT is a safe alternative to the traditional re-sternotomy for patients who have had previous cardiac surgery. The approach offers a reduced length of hospital stay, ICU stay, and a lower risk of new-onset renal failure requiring dialysis. This review calls for robust trials in the field to further strengthen the evidence.

Abstract
Objective The study objective was to evaluate the safety and clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of a new surgical technique in adult patients diagnosed with a giant left atrium. Methods We analyzed a cohort of patients who underwent left atrium reduction surgery between January 2016 and June 2020 performed by a specialized surgical team in 2 national reference centers in Lima, Peru. We assessed the major adverse valvular-related events and the New York Heart Association functional class as primary clinical outcomes. Also, our primary echocardiographic endings were the diameter, area, and volume of the left atrium. We assessed these variables at 3 time periods: baseline (t0), perioperative period (t1), and extended follow-up (t2: 12 ± 3.4 months). We carried out descriptive and bivariate exploratory statistical analysis for dependent measures. Results We included 17 patients, 70.6% of whom were women. Rheumatic mitral valve disease (76.5%) was the main etiology. We performed 14 (82.4%) mitral valve replacements and 3 repairs. Major adverse valvular-related events occurred in 1 patient (5.9%) (hemorrhagic stroke) at t1. A significant reduction in the size of the left atrium was observed: diameter (77 mm vs 48 mm, P < .001), area (75 cm2 vs 31 cm2, P < .001), and volume (332 cm3 vs 90 cm3, P < .001). Compared with t0 and t1, these echocardiographic findings remained without significant changes during t2. Conclusions Our surgical left atrium reduction technique was associated with improved clinical functionality and reduced left atrium measures in patients with a giant left atrium undergoing mitral valve surgery.

Abstract
Mitral annular disjunction is increasingly recognized as an important anatomic feature of mitral valve disease. The presence of mitral annular disjunction, defined as separation between the left atrial wall at the point of mitral valve insertion and the left ventricular free wall, has been associated with increased degeneration of the mitral valve and increased incidence of sudden cardiac death. The clinical importance of this entity necessitates standard reporting on cardiovascular imaging reports if patients are to receive adequate risk stratification and management. We provide a narrative review of the literature pertaining to mitral annular disjunction, its clinical implications, and areas needing further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of diabetes in the development of valvular heart disease, and, in particular, the relation with risk factor control, has not been extensively studied. METHODS We included 715 143 patients with diabetes registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Register and compared them with 2 732 333 matched controls randomly selected from the general population. First, trends were analyzed with incidence rates and Cox regression, which was also used to assess diabetes as a risk factor compared with controls, and, second, separately in patients with diabetes according to the presence of 5 risk factors. RESULTS The incidence of valvular outcomes is increasing among patients with diabetes and the general population. In type 2 diabetes, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and renal function were associated with valvular lesions. Hazard ratios for patients with type 2 diabetes who had nearly all risk factors within target ranges, compared with controls, were as follows: aortic stenosis 1.34 (95% CI, 1.31-1.38), aortic regurgitation 0.67 (95% CI, 0.64-0.70), mitral stenosis 1.95 (95% CI, 1.76-2.20), and mitral regurgitation 0.82 (95% CI, 0.79-0.85). Hazard ratios for patients with type 1 diabetes and nearly optimal risk factor control were as follows: aortic stenosis 2.01 (95% CI, 1.58-2.56), aortic regurgitation 0.63 (95% CI, 0.43-0.94), and mitral stenosis 3.47 (95% CI, 1.37-8.84). Excess risk in patients with type 2 diabetes for stenotic lesions showed hazard ratios for aortic stenosis 1.62 (95% CI, 1.59-1.65), mitral stenosis 2.28 (95% CI, 2.08-2.50), and excess risk in patients with type 1 diabetes showed hazard ratios of 2.59 (95% CI, 2.21-3.05) and 11.43 (95% CI, 6.18-21.15), respectively. Risk for aortic and mitral regurgitation was lower in type 2 diabetes: 0.81 (95% CI, 0.78-0.84) and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.92-0.98), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with type 1 and 2 diabetes have greater risk for stenotic lesions, whereas risk for valvular regurgitation was lower in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients with well-controlled cardiovascular risk factors continued to display higher risk for valvular stenosis, without a clear stepwise decrease in risk between various degrees of risk factor control.

Abstract
Background Small‐breed dogs commonly have concurrent myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD). Hypothesis Small‐breed dogs with preclinical MMVD and concurrent LRTD have more B‐lines on point‐of‐care lung ultrasound (POC‐LUS) compared to dogs without concurrent LRTD and are prone to misdiagnose as cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE). Animals A total of 114 small‐breed dogs with preclinical MMVD. Methods A prospective study was conducted, in which POC‐LUS was obtained and the number of B‐lines was calculated by a single clinician using the Veterinary Bedside Lung Ultrasound Examination protocol. The presence/absence of LRTD was assessed by clinicians blinded to the POC‐LUS results. Results Fifty and 64 dogs were in ACVIM stage B1 and B2, respectively. The presence of LRTD was prevalent in 74.6% (85/114) of small‐breed dogs with preclinical MMVD. When a previously reported criterion for CPE diagnosis (≥2 sites with >3 B‐lines/site) was applied, false‐positive results were observed in 15.8% (18/114) of dogs with preclinical MMVD. The summated number of B‐lines (3 vs. 1, P = .003), as well as the false‐positive rate (20% vs 3%, P = .04), were significantly higher in dogs with LRTD compared with dogs without LRTD. Multivariable logistic regression showed the presence of abnormalities other than B‐line on POC‐LUS (eg, thickened pleura or consolidation) could predict false‐positive results (odds ratio = 3.75, 95% confidence intervals 1.12‐12.54; P = .03) after adjustment for other clinical and echocardiographic factors. Conclusions and Clinical Importance Concurrent LRTD and abnormalities other than B‐lines should be considered in the interpretation of POC‐LUS in MMVD dogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Report contemporary outcomes in patients included in the Mitragister registry and treated with transcatheter mitral valve implantation for failed surgical annuloplasty rings or deteriorated bioprosthesis. BACKGROUND Midterm survival rates have been reported, but little is known about contemporary morbimortality endpoints. METHODS The primary safety outcome was the technical success rate. The primary efficacy composite endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. RESULTS From 2016 to 2021, 102 patients (median age: 81 [74;84] years, 61% female, Euroscore II 11.0% [7.8;16.0]) undergoing valve-in-valve (ViV; n = 89) or valve-in-ring (ViR; n = 13) procedures were consecutively included. At baseline, ViR group patients had worse left ventricular ejection fraction (50% vs. 60%; p = 0.004) and more frequently severe regurgitation (46% vs. 15%; p = 0.014). The primary safety outcome was 95%: 77% and 98% in the ViR and ViV populations, respectively, (p = 0.014). At intermediate follow-up (6-12 months) clinical improvement was notable, 88% of the patients were in NYHA class ≤ II (vs. 25% at baseline; p < 0.001). At a mean follow-up of 17.1 ± 11.0 months, the primary efficacy composite reached 27%. By multivariate analysis, paravalvular leak (PVL) was the only independent predictor (hazard ratio: 2.39, 95% confidence interval: 1.08-5.29; p = 0.031) while ViR was not found statistically associated (p = 0.456). CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the safety and efficacy of the mitral ViV procedure. ViR patients appear at higher risk of procedural complications. The presence of PVL could be associated with markedly worse midterm prognosis. Whatever the intervention, procedural strategies to reduce PVL incidence remain to be assessed to prevent latter adverse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As the established surgical mitral valve replacement (MVR) expands towards various contemporary techniques and access routes, the predictors and burden of procedure-related complications including the need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation need to be identified. METHODS Digital databases were searched systematically to identify studies reporting the incidence of PPM implantation after MVR. Detailed study and patient-level baseline characteristics including the type of study, sample size, follow-up, number of post-MVR PPM implantations, age, gender, and baseline ECG abnormalities were abstracted. RESULTS A total of 12 studies, recruiting 37,124 patients were included in the final analysis. Overall, 2,820 (7.6%) patients required a PPM with the net rate ranging from 1.7% to 10.96%. Post-MVR atrioventricular (AV) block was the most commonly observed indication for PPM, followed by sinoatrial (SA) node dysfunction, and bradycardia. Age, male gender, pre-existing comorbid conditions, prior CABG, history of arrhythmias or using anti-arrhythmic drugs, AF ablation, and double valve replacement were predictors of PPM implantation post-MVR. CONCLUSION Age, male gender, comorbid conditions like diabetes and renal impairment, prior CABG, double valve replacement, and anti-arrhythmic drugs served as positive predictors of PPM implantation in patients undergoing MVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data regarding the sex-related differences in the trends and outcomes of trans-septal transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TS-TMVR). METHODS The Nationwide Readmissions Database (2015-2018) was queried for admissions for TS-TMVR. Propensity matched analysis was conducted to compare outcomes with hospitalizations for TS-TMVR among women versus men. The main study outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Our final analysis included 2063 hospitalizations for TS-TMVR; of whom, 58.1% were women. The proportion of women among those undergoing TS-TMVR increased from 50% in 2015 to 60.2% in 2018 (Ptrend = 0.04). Compared with men, women undergoing TS-TMVR were slightly younger, and had a distinct profile of comorbidities. After matching, there was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality among women versus men undergoing TS-TMVR (7.8% vs. 6.1%, OR = 1.30; 95% CI: 0.79-2.13). Subgroup analyzes showed an interaction toward higher mortality with women versus men among patients with CKD (Pinteraction = 0.07). There were no significant differences between women and men in in-hospital complications or length of stay after TS-TMVR. Compared with men, women undergoing TS-TMVR were more likely to be discharged to a nursing facility (17.7% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.01) and had higher rates of 30-day readmissions (22.4% vs. 13.6%, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION This nationwide analysis showed an increase in the proportion of women among patients undergoing TS-TMVR during the study years. There were no differences in in-hospital mortality, in-hospital complications, or length of stay between both sexes following TS-TMVR. Women were more likely to be discharged to nursing facilities and had higher rates of readmission at 30 days even after propensity matching.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Procedural success after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is defined as a reduction of mitral regurgitation (MR) degree to <moderate (2+). However, post-procedural MR 0/1+ was found to be associated with a better outcome and a lower rate of MR recurrence compared to post-procedural MR 2+. AIM To evaluate predictors and prognostic impact of optimal procedural result (MR 0/1+) after TEER. METHODS The Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GIse) Registry of Transcatheter Treatment of Mitral Valve RegurgitaTiOn (GIOTTO) is a large multicenter registry including patients undergoing TEER in 19 Italian centers between January 2016 and March 2020. For the purpose of this analysis, only patients with secondary MR and successful TEER were included. RESULTS Among 950 patients enrolled, 637 (67%) had an optimal procedural result (MR 0/1+) and 313 (33%) had an acceptable procedural result (MR 2+) after TEER. Moderate-to-severe, rather than severe, MR, left ventricular end-systolic diameter <70 mm at baseline, and treatment in centers performing ≥20 procedures/year were independent predictors of the optimal procedural result. Compared to patients with acceptable procedural result, those with optimal result had shorter device time and length of stay and better outcomes with lower rates of all-cause and cardiac deaths (25.7% vs. 40%, p < 0.001 and 16.3% vs. 24.8%, p = 0.003, respectively) and HF hospitalizations (24% vs. 30%; p = 0.035) at 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In patients with secondary MR undergoing TEER, an optimal procedural result is associated with favorable outcomes and can be achieved by selecting patients with moderate-to-severe MR, without severe left ventricular dilatation, and treated in high-volume centers. CLASSIFICATIONS: mitral regurgitation, mitral valve repair, chronic heart failure.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for women in United States and worldwide. One in 3 women dies from cardiovascular disease, and 45% of women >20 years old have some form of CVD. Historically, women have had higher morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Sex influences pathogenesis, pathophysiology, presentation, postoperative complications, surgical outcomes, and survival. This review summarizes current cardiovascular surgery outcomes as they pertain to women. Specifically, this article seeks to address whether sex disparities in research, surgical referral, and outcomes still exist and to provide strategies to close these gaps. In addition, with the growing population of women of reproductive age with cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk factors, indications for cardiac surgery arise in pregnant women. The current review will also address the unique issues associated with this special population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of real-world data regarding the temporal trends and outcomes of trans-septal transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TS-TMVR) in the United States (US). METHODS We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database (October 2015 to December 2018) for patients undergoing TS-TMVR procedures. We reported the temporal trends in the utilization, in-hospital outcomes and 30-day readmissions after TS-TMVR. The main study outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS There was an increase in the number of TS-TMVR procedures over time (48 in 2015 vs. 978 in 2018, Ptrend < 0.001), with a notable increase in the proportion of women (Ptrend = 0.04) and the prevalence of diabetes (Ptrend = 0.03). There was an increase in the number of centers performing TS-TMVR (21 in 2015 vs. 164 in 2018, Ptrend < 0.001). The overall in-hospital mortality was 7.2% with no change over time (6.3% in 2015 vs. to 5.2% in 2018, Ptrend = 0.67). There was no change in the frequency of in-hospital complications after TS-TMVR; however, the median length of stay has decreased over time. The overall 30-day readmission rate was 17.8%, with no change during the study years. The most frequent cause for 30-day readmission after TS-TMVR was acute heart failure followed by bleeding and infection-related complications. Prior coagulopathy and small-sized hospitals were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmissions. CONCLUSION This nationwide observational analysis of real-world data showed an increase in the number of TS-TMVR procedures over time, which is now performed at a greater number of centers. There was no change in the rate of in-hospital mortality, complications or 30-day readmissions; but a significant reduction in the length of hospital stay over time was noted. As the number of TS-TMVR continue to expand, these data provide a perspective on the early experience with this procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the growth in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) volume in the United States, data on the temporal changes in procedural outcomes are lacking. METHODS We utilized the National Readmission Database to assess the annual changes in patient's characteristics, in-hospital outcomes, cost, and readmissions for patients who underwent TEER between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018. Outcomes of interest included mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and any adverse event (AE). We also assessed length of stay and cost. RESULTS A total of 22,692 hospitalizations were included. The mean age increased from 75.2 ± 12.9 in 2014 to 78.1 ± 9.8 years in 2018. Changes in the prevalence of risk factors were heterogenous. The incidence of in-hospital mortality decreased from 4.0% in 2014 to 2.0% in 2018. Both MACE and any AE decreased significantly. Although the incidence of 30-day readmission remained stable, there was a trend towards a temporal increase in both 90-day and 180-day. The adjusted median length of stay of the index admission decreased by 50% and this trend was associated with a $2100 reduction in risk and inflation adjusted in-hospital cost, however, this reduction was offset by the increased total cost of readmissions within the first 6 months resulting in similar net-cost. CONCLUSION The volume of TEER has grown substantially between 2014 and 2018 coupled with a temporal improvement in in-hospital outcomes and reduction in cost and length of stay. Re-hospitalization rates after TEER remained steady at 30-day and trended towards worsening overtime at 90- and 180-days.

Redo mitral valve replacement remains the standard treatment for recurrent mitral valve disease. Most patients referred for a redo surgery in the western world are older and present with multiple comorbidities. With the successful broad implementation of anti-infective treatment, rheumatic mitral valve disease has become highly uncommon. Nonetheless, rheumatic heart disease is still thriving in developing countries causing the most severe mitral valve conditions. The guidelines are there to help us in our decision-making process, but the actual decision has to be made based on each patients' individual criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The predictors and clinical significance of increased Doppler-derived mean diastolic gradient (MG) following transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (MVTEER) remain controversial. OBJECTIVE We sought to examine baseline correlates of Doppler-derived increased MG post-MVTEER and its impact on intermediate-term outcomes. METHODS Patients undergoing MVTEER were analyzed retrospectively. Post-MVTEER increased MG was defined as >5 mmHg or aborted clip implantation due to increased MG intraprocedurally. Baseline MG and 3D-guided mitral valve area (MVA) by planimetry were retrospectively available in 233 and 109 patients. RESULTS 243 patients were included; 62 (26%) had MG > 5 mmHg post-MVTEER or aborted clip insertion, including 7 (11%) that had aborted clip implantation. Mortality occurred in 63 (26%) during a median follow up of 516 days (IQR 211, 1021). Increased post-MVTEER MG occurred more frequently in females (44% vs. 16%, p < 0.001), those with baseline MVA <4.0 cm2 (71% vs. 16%), baseline MG ≥4 mmHg (61% vs. 20%), or multiple clips implanted (33% vs. 21%, p = 0.04). Increased post-MVTEER MG was associated with increased subsequent mortality compared to those with normal gradient (HR 1.91 95% CI 1.15-3.18 p = 0.016) as was aborted clip insertion compared to all others (HR 5.23 95% CI 2.06-13.28 p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Smaller baseline MVA and increased baseline MG are associated with increased MG post-MVTEER and patients with a Doppler-derived post-MVTEER MG >5 mmHg suffered excess subsequent mortality. In high risk patients considered for MVTEER, identification of those at risk of iatrogenic mitral stenosis with MVTEER is important as they may be optimally treated with alternate surgical or transcatheter therapies.

Abstract
A 14-year-old mixed-breed dog with a 2-year history of myxomatous mitral valve disease was examined for collapse and lethargy. At the presentation, pale oral mucous membranes, rapid and weak femoral pulses, and muffled heart sounds with a moderate left apical systolic murmur were revealed. Echocardiographic examination showed pericardial effusion with organized echogenic material originating from the left atrial wall. Tamponade of the right atrium and severe left atrial enlargement were also observed. Multiple views of the left atrium and left auricle allowed to visualize a hyperechoic mass adherent to the endocardium of the left atrial wall. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography study allowed to rule out active intrapericardial hemorrhages, and echo-guided pericardiocentesis was performed. No recurrence of pericardial effusion was observed, but the dog suddenly died after 10 days. The postmortem examination confirmed multifocal left atrial thrombosis attached to the endomyocardial tears.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to elevated surgical risk, transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is used as an alternative for treating failed bioprosthetic valves, annuloplasty repairs and mitral annular calcification (MAC). We report the procedural and longitudinal outcomes for each subtype: Mitral valve-in-valve (MVIV), mitral valve-in-ring (MViR), and valve-in-MAC (ViMAC). METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing TMVR from October 2013 to December 2019 were assessed. Patients at high risk for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction had either alcohol septal ablation or intentional laceration of the anterior leaflet (LAMPOON). RESULTS Eight-eight patients underwent TMVR; 38 MViV, 31 MViR, and 19 ViMAC procedures were performed. The median Society of Thoracic Surgery 30-day predicted risk of mortality was 8.2% (IQR 5.2, 19.9) for all. Sapien 3 (78%) and transseptal access (98%) were utilized in most cases. All-cause in-hospital mortality, technical, and procedural success were 8%, 83%, and 66% respectively. Median follow up was 1.4 years (IQR 0.5-2.9 years) and overall survival was 40% at 4 years. Differential survival rates were observed with MViV doing the best, followed by MViR and ViMAC having a <20% survival at 4 years. After adjusting for co-variates, MViV procedure was the strongest predictor of survival (HR 0.24 [95% CI 0.079-0.7]). CONCLUSION TMVR is performed in at high-risk patients with attenuated long-term survival. MViV has the best success and survival rate, but long-term survival in MViR and ViMAC is guarded.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of patients with hemolysis after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). BACKGROUND Hemolysis is an increasingly recognized complication of TMVR. Clinical outcomes and optimal management for patients with hemolysis after TMVR are unclear. METHODS Patients that underwent mitral valve-in-valve (MViV), valve-in-ring (MViR), and valve-in-mitral annular calcification (ViMAC) at a single center were retrospectively assessed. RESULTS A total of 101 patients had TMVR, including 69 with MViV, 14 with MViR, and 18 with ViMAC. ViMAC patients had an increased frequency of mild or greater paravalvular leak (PVL) (ViMAC, 72.2%; MViR, 14.3%; MViV, 13.0%; p < .001). Hemolysis occurred in eight patients and was more common after ViMAC (ViMAC, 33.3%; MViR, 7.1%; MViV, 1.5%; p < .001). This required transfusion in five (ViMAC, 4; MViV, 1) and was associated with acute kidney injury in five with ViMAC. Among the ViMAC patients, four had transcatheter re-intervention to treat hemolysis with resolution of anemia in three and mild residual anemia in one with persistent mild PVL. The two ViMAC patients without re-intervention had persistent anemia and died within 6 months. Both MViV and MViR patients with hemolysis did not have PVL but had turbulent flow from left ventricular outflow tract narrowing and their hemolysis was self-limited. CONCLUSIONS Hemolysis occurs with greater frequency and increased clinical severity after ViMAC as compared to MViV or MViR and is likely related to increased incidence of PVL. These findings demonstrate the need to investigate novel strategies that can reduce the burden of hemolysis with ViMAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shone syndrome is characterized by coincident mitral valve stenosis and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Although first described in 1963, little research has expounded surgical outcomes. We sought to evaluate our experience with this cohort, emphasizing outcomes including mortality, morbidity, and cardiac function. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 46 patients who underwent operation for Shone syndrome between 1990 and May 2018 was conducted. Index operations included 32 repairs of the left ventricular outflow tract, four mitral valve repair/replacements, nine combined repairs, and one non-Shone's repair. Median age at index procedure was 22 days (2 days-10 years). Mean follow-up was 9.1 years (2 months-21 years), and 70 additional operations (51 reoperations) were required. Three patients were lost to follow-up. RESULTS Overall survival was 95.7% with two late deaths. Freedom from death or transplant was 93.5%. Thirteen (28.3%) patients remained free from reoperation. Thirty-three patients required 51 reoperations of the left ventricle outflow tract (n = 12), mitral valve (n = 16), combined repairs (n = 21), and transplant (n = 1). At most recent follow-up, patients exhibited mitral stenosis (n = 21), aortic stenosis (n = 7), and diminished LV function (n = 2). CONCLUSION Surgical correction of Shone's offers excellent survival benefit, but reoperation burden is high, with >70% of patients requiring reintervention in the follow-up period. A total of 65% of patients developed recurrent obstruction of left ventricular inflow or outflow, however, ventricular function is preserved in the majority of patients. All but one patient had no functional deficits, classified as New York Heart Association I with > 60% requiring no medication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for pediatric mechanical mitral valve replacement (mMVR) to improve management in this challenging population. METHODS From 1993 to 2019, 93 children underwent 119 mMVR operations (median age, 8.8 years [interquartile range [IQR]: 2.1-13.3], 54.6% females) at our institution. Twenty-six (21.8%) patients underwent mMVR at ≤2 years and 93 (78.2%) patients underwent mMVR at >2 years. Median follow-up duration was 7.6 years [IQR: 3.2-12.4]. RESULTS Early mortality was 9.7%, but decreased with time and was 0% in the most recent era (13.9% from 1993 to 2000, 7.3% from 2001 to 2010, 0% from 2011 to 2019, P = .04). It was higher in patients ≤2 years compared to patients >2 years (26.9% vs 2.2%, P < .01). On multivariable analysis for mitral valve reoperation, valve size <23 mm was significant with a hazard ratio of 5.38 (4.87-19.47, P = .01);. Perioperative stroke occurred in 1% and permanent pacemaker was necessary in 12%. Freedom from mitral valve reoperation was higher in patients >2 years and those with a prosthesis ≥23 mm. Median time to reoperation was 7 years (IQR: 4.5-9.1) in patients >2 years and 3.5 years (IQR: 0.6-7.1) in patients ≤2 years (P = .0511), but was similar between prosthesis sizes (P = .6). During follow-up period (median 7.6 years [IQR: 3.2-12.4], stroke occurred in 10%, prosthetic valve thrombosis requiring reoperation in 4%, endocarditis in 3%, and bleeding in 1%. CONCLUSION Early and late outcomes of mMVR in children are improved when performed at age >2 years and with prosthesis size ≥23 mm. These factors should be considered in the timing of mMVR.

Abstract
Transcatheter repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) by edge‐to‐edge therapy has become increasingly accepted for patients with severe MR at high or prohibitive surgical risk in primary or degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). The technological approach has evolved from the initial transcatheter edge‐to‐edge device to improve on its acute reduction in MR and durability of results, particularly in complex primary pathology. In this study, we reported the first case of DragonFly™ Transcatheter Valve Repair device in a patient with severe DMR.

Abstract
Gut dysbiosis and gut microbiota-derived metabolites, including bile acid (BA), short-chain fatty acid, and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), are associated with cardiovascular disease. Canine myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a model for human MMVD. The aim of the study is to evaluate gut microbial dysbiosis and its relationship with gut-produced metabolites in dogs with MMVD. Fecal samples from 92 privately owned dogs, including 17 healthy, 23 and 27 asymptomatic MMVD dogs without (stage B1) and with (stage B2) secondary cardiac enlargement, respectively, and 25 MMVD dogs with history of congestive heart failure (stage C or D), were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Alpha and beta diversities were different between healthy and MMVD dogs (adjusted P < 0.05). The average dysbiosis indexes were −1.48, −0.6, 0.01, and 1.47 for healthy, B1, B2, and C/D dogs, respectively (P = 0.07). Dysbiosis index was negatively correlated with Clostridium hiranonis (P < 0.0001, r = −0.79). Escherichia coli, capable of trimethylamine production in the gut, had an increased abundance (adjusted P < 0.05) and may be responsible for the increased circulating TMAO levels in stage B2 and C/D MMVD dogs. Primary and secondary BAs showed opposite associations with C. hiranonis, a key BA converter (P < 0.0001 for both, r = −0.94 and 0.95, respectively). Secondary BAs appeared to promote the growth of Fusobacterium and Faecalibacterium but inhibit that of E. coli. Multivariate analysis revealed significant but weak associations between gut microbiota and several circulating metabolites, including short-chain acylcarnitines and TMAO. IMPORTANCE Our study expands the current “gut hypothesis” to include gut dysbiosis at the preclinical stage, prior to the onset of heart failure. Gut dysbiosis index increases in proportion to the severity of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and is inversely associated with Clostridium hiranonis, a key bile acid (BA) converter in the gut. Secondary BAs appear to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria but inhibit that of harmful ones. An intricate interplay between gut microbiota, gut microbiota-produced metabolites, and MMVD pathophysiological progression is implicated.

Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common valvular heart disease, affecting 2-3% of the general population. Barlow's disease is a clinical syndrome characterised by MVP. Initially thought a benign condition, MVP is now recognised as a cause of sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias. The development of new imaging techniques has contributed recently to the identification of novel risk factors. Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in patients affected by MVP is traditionally considered challenging. In this review, the authors summarise the evidence on arrhythmogenesis in the context of MVP, along with risk stratification of sudden cardiac death and the available treatment options, including new catheter ablation techniques.
