In this manuscript the authors describe a systematic review of 71 cases of transcatheter heart valve embolization. In 72% of the patients, the prosthesis used was a balloon expandable one. In most cases valve embolization occurred soon after implantation and it happened in the aortic direction.

This retrospective case-control study involving 1852 Hodgkin lymphoma 5-year survivors found that radiation to the heart valves tend to increase the risk for clinically significant valvular heart disease. The rate increased 3.1-fold in patients receiving 31-35 Gy and 11.8-fold in those who received > 40 Gy.

Outcomes of stented bovine pericardial aortic valvular prostheses were evaluated over a 30 year experience. 48% had concomitant CABG and 26% had additional valve procedures at the time of implant. Explants were required in 1.9% at 10 years and in 15% by 20 years. Explant rates were 3-fold higher in patients younger than 60 years. Patient-prosthes

This video demonstrates aortic valve bypass surgery on an 83-year-old male patient. This surgery was offered to the patient as an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement.

In a prospective study using MRI before and within 14 days after AVR and TAVI, Crouch and co-authors demonstrated that postoperative aortic regurgitation that was higher in the TAVI group had a significant impact on increasing left atrial size and declining right ventricular function.

The authors describe the one-year results of a randomized trial comparing outcomes between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) among an all-comers cohort of 280 patients.

In this discussion filmed at the EACTS 2014 Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy, Marko Turina and Mattia Glauber consider minimally invasive valve replacement, with a focus on the Perceval S sutureless valve.

Recorded via Google Hangouts, this roundtable discussion focuses on mitral valve repair for rheumatic mitral valve disease.

This video shows a surgical repair in a 49-year-old male patient for massive regurgitation of a bicuspid aortic valve in an anteroposterior configuration.
