Risk stratification and clinical outcomes after surgical pulmonary valve replacement
ConclusionPatients undergoing PVR at larger RV volumes had similar survival but more overall CAE. A larger study population with a longer follow-up will be required to determine if early PVR provides survival benefit in the long-term.

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Acute and long-term outcomes
Background: The use of balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has resurged since the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The aim of our study was to determine the procedural and long-term outcomes of patients treated by BAV in the early TAVR era.Methods: From 2005 to 2008, 323 consecutive patients presenting with severe aortic stenosis were treated by BAV in our institution.Results: Mean age and logistic EuroSCORE were 80.5 ± 9.9 years and 28.7% ± 12.5%, respectively. The effective orifice area increased from 0.68 ± 0.25 to 1.12 ± 0.39 cm2 (P

Treatment of functional mitral valve regurgitation with the permanent percutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty system: Results of the multicenter international Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty System to Reduce Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Patients with Heart Failure trial
Conclusions: Overall, PTMA had mild impact on MR reduction, left ventricular remodeling, QOL, and exercise capacity. During follow-up, the risk/benefit ratio remained suboptimal.
