Minimally Invasive SAPIEN in Mitral Annular Calcification Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Feasibility and Lessons Learned
In this report, we present a case of concomitant left main disease, severe aortic stenosis, and severe mitral stenosis secondary to MAC using a hybrid approach culminating in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) via a minimally invasive right thoracotomy.

Utility of Duranta, a wireless patch-type electrocardiographic monitoring system developed in Japan, in detecting covert atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke: A case report
Rationale: Subcutaneous implantable electrocardiographs are highly effective in detecting covert atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke. However, these invasive devices are not indicated for all cryptogenic stroke patients, and noninvasive improvements over conventional Holter-type ambulatory electrocardiography are needed. We evaluated the clinical application and effectiveness of Duranta (ImageONE Co., Ltd.), a wireless patch-type electrocardiographic monitoring system developed in Japan for chronically ill patients or home-based patients at the end of life. A Duranta device was used to detect covert AF in patien...

Excellent Outcomes for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Within 1 Year of Opening a Low-Volume Centre and Consideration of Requirements
Conclusions Excellent outcomes can be achieved in newly initiated relatively low-volume centres, which compares favorably to previously published large series. Important considerations include appropriate team training, rigorous patient screening, use of multimodality imaging techniques, a heart team approach, constant integration of lessons learned from larger published experiences, and maintaining a recommended minimum volume of 25 cases per year.
