A review of the incidence, classification, and potential recommendations for clinical management of thrombosis associated with TAVI.
Percutaneous repair to treat functional mitral regurgitation: edge-to-edge therapies are here to stay
A meta-analysis summarizing current evidence from the three main studies on the use of edge-to-edge therapies to treat moderate-to-severe functional mitral regurgitation in patients with symptomatic heart failure.
What can structural interventions offer in heart failure? beyond valvular diseases

Innovations in the surgical treatment of aortic arch pathology: increasingly endovascular?
A study published by an Austrian group presents the surgical outcomes following the hybrid implantation of a custom-made aortic prosthesis for the treatment of aortic arch pathology during their initial experience at their center.
Comparison of outcomes and required tools for transvenous lead extraction: insights from a high-volume center
This study compares the safety and efficacy of transvenous lead extraction (TLE) for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers (PMs), analyzing procedural differences based on a large-scale prospective registry from Cleveland Clinic over a decade.
Mechanical circulatory support of short duration in cardiogenic shock secondary to AMI: real-life analysis
Observational and retrospective study based on a large North American database comparing outcomes of the use of short-term circulatory support and the timing of its implantation in patients with cardiogenic shock due to AMI.
Aortic stenosis in asymptomatic patients: Early intervention doesn’t make the sun rise any sooner
