Minimally Invasive Port Access Approach for Reoperations on the Mitral Valve.
CONCLUSIONS: The port access approach can be safely adopted for reoperations on the MV without compromising postoperative mortality or MV function. PMID: 25975939 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty increase perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease?
In conclusion, there is good evidence to support that tricuspid annuloplasty is a low-risk procedure and concomitant TV repair does not significantly increase the perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease.

Postoperative warfarin following mitral valve repair or bioprosthetic valve replacement.
CONCLUSION: The use of postoperative warfarin following MVR does not reduce the incidence of stroke at early follow up. However, there remains a trend for improved long-term outcomes in those patients receiving postoperative warfarin therapy. PMID: 24383387 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Stroke and thrombus formation appending to the MitraClip: what is the appropriate anticoagulation regimen?
Authors: Hamm K, Barth S, Diegeler A, Kerber S Abstract Percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system (Abbot Vascular, USA) is a promising technique for the non-surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation in special situations. The case is reported of a 72-year-old patient with history of atrial fibrillation and a severely impaired left ventricular function who underwent successful MitraClip implantation because of functional mitral regurgitation grade 3. The patient's post-interventional course was complicated three weeks later by a cardioembolic stroke due to thrombus formation on the MitraClip, despi...

232-i * endoaortic balloon clamping and transthoracic aortic clamping are both safe and effective in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery
Conclusion: Despite recent concerns arising about EAC, this large multicentre study shows equivalence in term of safety and effectiveness of this technique compared with TTC. Reduction in postoperative bleeding was observed in the EAC group despite the higher rate of complex redo cases.

256 * mitral valve repair has better long-term outcomes compared with mitral valve replacement in elderly patients with mitral regurgitation
Conclusion: MVP is a safe option and improves long-term survival and freedom from MACE, even in the elderly with mitral regurgitation.

092 * early and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery through right mini-thoracotomy: a ten-year experience in 1604 patients
Conclusion: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a safe and reproducible approach associated with low mortality and morbidity, high rate of mitral valve repair and excellent late results.

Preoperative risk factor analysis of postoperative stroke after Cox-maze procedure with mitral valve repair
Conclusions: In the group of patients who underwent the Cox-Maze procedure with mitral valve repair, having a stroke history was the only preoperative risk factor that could lead to a stroke event after surgery. Accordingly, patients with affliction of ischemic stroke, albeit sustained sinus rhythm, may require prophylactic anticoagulation.

The case of the furtive finding: atypical atrial flutter
A patient’s arrhythmia was identified only after an electrocardiogram (ECG) lead was attached directly to an atrial epicardial lead. The 87-year-old man had a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, and severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and was admitted for corrective cardiac surgery. His history included a cardioembolic stroke 10 months prior to admission, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to the right coronary artery, bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annulus repair, and a maze cryoablation or cryomaze procedure.

Latest Advances in Transseptal Structural Heart Interventions.
Abstract Recent advances in structural heart intervention have produced increasing demand for transseptal access, which was first introduced as a diagnostic tool to directly measure left atrial pressure. Transseptal access allows safe and adequate approach to the left atrium and surrounding structures. Percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve repair using the MitraClip device is a safe and less invasive treatment for selected patients with significant mitral regurgitation, who are at high risk for surgery. This is an echocardiographic- and fluoroscopic-guided procedure requiring accurate transseptal access of the l...
