Prospective multicenter registry and meta-regression assessing outcomes after Perceval Plus® implantation according to sex. The findings support comparable early safety in men and women, although several limitations preclude concluding true equivalence.

Retrospective observational study based on a nationwide administrative database, aimed at describing contemporary trends in the use of TAVR, surgical bioprosthetic valves, and mechanical valves among patients aged 40 to 65 years undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement in the United States.

Post hoc subanalysis of the Evolut Low Risk trial comparing 5-year outcomes in 1164 low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement, either transcatheter (TAVR) or surgical (SAVR).

A surgeons’ notebook article summarizing the main surgical implications of the 2025 ESC/EACTS guidelines on valvular heart disease and exploring how these recommendations may be translated into daily clinical practice.

This study evaluates the safety and short- and mid-term outcomes of performing second aortic cross-clamping (2nd XCL) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MI-MVr) when the initial repair does not achieve an acceptable result.

This study analyzes the 10-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of the randomized PARTNER 2A trial, which compared transcatheter aortic valve implantation using transfemoral or transthoracic transapical or transaortic access with the SAPIEN XT prosthesis versus surgery in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and intermediate surgical risk.

A critical appraisal of a Spanish first-in-human experience of TAVI valve-in-valve implantation within a previous mechanical prosthesis.

This article reviews the systematic review and meta-analysis by Trevis et al. comparing long-term outcomes after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves in patients aged 50 to 70 years.

The expansion of transcatheter aortic valve implantation avoids open surgery, but also prevents concomitant repair of associated tricuspid regurgitation. This study assesses the consequences of leaving this second valve untreated and seeks to identify which patient profiles might benefit most from conventional combined surgery.
