Multicentre observational registry providing descriptive data and exploratory analyses on surgical techniques and early outcomes in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation undergoing minimally invasive mitral surgery.

Valve-sparing root replacement in the reoperative setting remains a debated strategy. This study evaluates whether valve-sparing aortic root replacement can be performed safely and with acceptable durability in patients requiring resternotomy.

This systematic review and network meta-analysis compares three minimally invasive techniques for surgical aortic valve replacement: ministernotomy (MS), minithoracotomy (MT), and a totally endoscopic approach (TT).

Systematic review of the literature exploring the efficacy and safety of intentional fracture of bioprosthetic valves as a tool to improve hemodynamics during valve-in-valve implantation using TAVI.

First-in-human, pilot, non-comparative study assessing the clinical feasibility of a new polymeric trileaflet surgical aortic valve prosthesis designed to pursue long-term durability without the need for chronic anticoagulation.

A short case series, almost in a how-to-do-it format, describing the experience with a tricuspidization technique applied to very asymmetrical bicuspid aortic valves (Sievers type I, type C, 120-139°).

This narrative review provides a deliberately cautious overview of the current landscape of transcatheter mitral interventions.

Scoping review of studies analyzing permanent pacemaker implantation after mitral valve surgery, including repair and replacement, with or without concomitant procedures, providing data on incidence, risk factors, timing of implantation, dependency, and preventive strategies.

This multicenter observational study evaluated differences in clinically relevant outcomes between balloon-expandable bioprostheses and self-expandable bioprostheses in the setting of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis.
