This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of restricted cusp motion (RCM) at the time of bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and analyzed associated risk factors and outcomes.

Prostheses made of biological tissues have been used for more than 5 decades for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).1 Through the years, clinical, hemodynamic, and pathologic data have been repeatedly reported to verify the performance of various models of biological prostheses, both porcine and pericardial. The same reported experiences have been...

With the expanding integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the structural heart domain, numerous ML models have emerged for the prediction of adverse outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aim to identify, describe, and critically appraise ML prediction models for adverse outcomes after...

Guidelines recommend tricuspid valve (TV) repair for patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) undergoing surgery for degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease, but management of ≤ moderate TR is controversial. This study examines the incidence and causes of bradyarrhythmias leading to PPM implantation.

We compared the clinical outcomes of mitral valve (MV) repair for mitral regurgitation via robot-assisted approach (ROBO) and small right thoracotomy approach (MINI) three years after the reimbursement of ROBO in Japan.
