Abstract
BACKGROUND The tricuspid valve can be considered the "forgotten" valve because in the past hardly any research has been conducted in this field and as a result only few therapeutic options existed. The prognosis of untreated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is poor and mortality is high for patients with severe TR. Patients frequently return to medical practices and hospitals because of cardiac decompensation, with shortness of breath and leg edema. OBJECTIVE Recent years have seen more development in catheter-based treatment options. Currently, several devices are in clinical evaluation, which are presented in this article. MATERIAL AND METHODS A web-based literature search was carried out and information was gathered at international cardiology meetings (TCT 2016 in Washington, DGK 2017 in Mannheim, EuroPCR 2017 in Paris). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION There are various options for interventional catheter procedures for TR, which are being investigated within the scope of clinical studies. Most aim at reducing the tricuspid annular diameter and optimizing leaflet coaptation. Because of these new therapy options patients can now be treated who were considered untreatable in the past because of the high perioperative mortality.

Abstract
AIMS Correct sizing of the ostium is a crucial step in left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion procedures. However, unfavorable anatomy of the ostium often complicates the assessment of the true ostium diameter. We hypothesized that area-derived diameter (ADD) and perimeter-derived diameter (PDD) from three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram (3D-TEE) can facilitate this step of the procedure as compared with two-dimensional (2D) measurements. METHODS AND RESULTS For 55 patients within the ALSTER-LAA registry, retrospective analysis of PDD and ADD was correlated with 2D measurements used during the procedure to ascertain correct size of the Watchman device (Boston Scientific). The observed data were put into relation to the calculated area of the device with 10%-30% compression and the clinical outcome after 30 days. 3D area and perimeter measurements of the LAA ostium matched the calculated range of the different device sizes. Recapture during implantation, gaps <5 mm, and device size changes were more often observed when ADDs would also have suggested the use of a larger device. CONCLUSION 3D ADDs and PDDs are feasible to use in device size decisions. Employing these measurements may allow operators to further reduce intraprocedural recapture maneuvers, peridevice leakage, and device size changes.

Abstract
Background Histopathological analyses of debris captured by a cerebral protection system during transcatheter aortic valve replacement have been reported, but the origin of the captured debris was not determined and risk factors were not defined. Methods and Results Embolic debris was analyzed from 322 filters used in a dual‐cerebral‐filter protection system implemented during transcatheter aortic valve replacement for 161 patients (mean age 81 years, 82 male [51%], logistic EuroSCORE 19% [interquartile range 12–31%]). The debris capture rate was high, with debris from 97% of all patients (156 of 161). No differences by filter location were found (brachiocephalic trunk 86% [139 of 161], left carotid artery 91% [147 of 161]; adjusted P=0.999). Five prevalent types of debris were identified: thrombus (91%), arterial wall tissue (68%), valve tissue (53%), calcification (46%), and foreign material (30%). Female sex (P=0.0287, odds ratio 1.364, 95% CI 1.032–1.812) and diabetes mellitus (P=0.0116, odds ratio 1.474, 95% CI 1.089–2.001) were significant risk factors for embolic debris. Additional analysis showed significantly more valve tissue in patients with predilation (P=0.0294). Stroke and transient ischemic attack rates were 0.6% each (1 of 161). Conclusion This study showed a high rate of embolic debris consisting of typical anatomic structures known to be altered in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Female patients with diabetes mellitus have increased risk of embolic debris and should be protected by a cerebral protection system during transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Because valve tissue embolizes more often in patients with predilation, procedural planning should consider this finding. Both cerebral arteries (brachiocephalic trunk, left carotid artery) should be protected in the same way.

Abstract
AIMS Aims of this case-series were to assess the feasibility of cerebral protection devices in interventional left atrial appendage occlusion (iLAAO) procedures and to yield insight into the pathomorphological correlate of early, procedural cerebral embolization during iLAAO. METHODS AND RESULTS Five consecutive patients underwent iLLO flanked by the Sentinel CPS® (Claret Medical, Inc., Santa Rosa, CA) cerebral protection system. Placement and recapture of the Sentinel® device as well as the iLAAO were successful and safe in all cases. Histomorphometric analysis of the collected filters showed embolized debris in all patients. Acute thrombus was found in three patients, organizing thrombus in four. Interestingly, two patients had endocardial or myocardial tissue in their filters. CONCLUSIONS Cerebral protection during iLAAO with the Sentinel CPS® device is feasible. Furthermore, this dataset identifies the formation and embolization of thrombus and cardiac tissue as emboligeneic sources and potential future targets to reduce procedural complications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Histological analyses of debris captured by a cerebral protection system (CPS) during transcatheter valve-in-valve (VIV) procedures have not been reported. METHODS Fifteen consecutive patients with stenotic aortic (n=13) or mitral (n=2) surgical or transcatheter bioprostheses were treated with implantation of a transcatheter heart valve (THV) in the presence of a dual-filter CPS. Mean patient age was 75 years; mean logistic EuroSCORE was 31%. Filters were collected and histological assessment of debris was performed. Patients were followed clinically until discharge. RESULTS Debris captured by either or both filters was detected in all patients. Acute thrombus was the most common type of debris, found in all patients, followed in frequency by arterial wall tissue (n=12 patients (80%)), calcification (n=11 (73%)) and valve tissue (n=9 (60%)). Less frequently found were organised thrombus (n=5 (30%)), foreign material (n=4 (27%)) and myocardium (n=2 (13%)). A median of 123 debris particles per patient was detected, with a trend towards a greater median number of particles collected in proximal filters (78 vs 39, p=0.065). The average maximum particle diameter was 88 (range 56-175) µm, with a median of 20 particles ≥150 µm. No stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) had occurred by the time of discharge (mean 8 days). CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter VIV procedures were associated with the release of particulate debris into the cerebral circulation in all patients. The type of debris suggests that debris originates predominantly from arterial and valvular passage of the THV.

Abstract
AIMS To assess outcomes of TAVR as a rescue therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock due to acutely decompensated aortic stenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 771 high-risk patients who underwent TAVR, 27 (3.5%; 78±9 years; 12 men) were treated emergently due to acutely decompensated aortic stenosis with cardiogenic shock. SAPIEN and CoreValve prostheses were implanted in 11 and 16 patients, respectively: the transfemoral access route was used in 25. Three patients died within 72 hours of successful valve deployment, and a further six died within a month, giving a 30-day mortality of 33.3%, which was significantly higher than in electively treated patients (7.7%, p<0.0001). Univariate predictors of 30-day mortality in cardiogenic-shock patients were baseline cardiac output <3.0 l/min, reduced cardiac power index, impaired renal function, and mechanical ventilation, as well as severe acute kidney injury after TAVR. Estimated one-year survival was 59.3% in emergently and 82.7% in electively treated patients (p=0.0009). However, 30-day landmark analysis showed no difference in cumulative survival between TAVR modalities. In cardiogenic-shock patients without concomitant reduced cardiac output and impaired renal function at baseline (n=22), estimated one-year survival was 72.7%. CONCLUSIONS TAVR should be considered a reasonable rescue therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to decompensated aortic stenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous valve therapies represent one of the most innovative areas within interventional cardiology in the past 10 years. AIM The aim of this work is to give an overview of current and upcoming therapeutic options. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this manuscript, the results of a retro- and prospective literature research are summarized. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION With the introduction of percutaneous therapies for valvular heart disease, patients who were previously considered too ill for surgery can now be treated. The percutaneous treatment of aortic or mitral valve disease has become standard therapy. Likewise, promising results have been obtained for percutaneous treatment options for pathologies of the tricuspid valve, which are still under intense investigation.

Abstract
Percutaneous interventions in structural heart diseases are emerging rapidly. The variety of novel percutaneous treatment approaches and the increasing complexity of interventional procedures are associated with new challenges and demands on the imaging specialist. Standard catheterisation laboratory imaging modalities such as fluoroscopy and contrast ventriculography provide inadequate visualisation of the soft tissue or three-dimensional delineation of the heart. Consequently, additional advanced imaging technology is needed to diagnose and precisely identify structural heart diseases, to properly select patients for specific interventions and to support fluoroscopy in guiding procedures. As imaging expertise constitutes a key factor in the decision-making process and in the management of patients with structural heart disease, the sub-speciality of interventional imaging will likely develop out of an increased need for high-quality imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compare the feasibility and outcomes of "off-label" transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients with a standard "on-label" TAVI population. METHODS A total of 591 high-risk patients (pts) underwent a TAVI procedure at our institution. Of these, 435 pts (73.6%) were treated for an on-label indication (group A) and 156 pts (26.4%) were treated for an off-label indication (group B). Group B was further subdivided into patients with pure aortic regurgitation (n = 22; group B.1), anatomical considerations (n = 26; group B.2), very low ejection fraction ≤20% (n = 12; group B.3), concomitant severe mitral regurgitation >2+ (n = 44; group B.4), degenerated aortic bioprosthesis (n = 30; group B.5), and hemodynamic instability with the need for cardiopulmonary bypass (n = 22; group B.6). Outcome parameters were classified according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. RESULTS The mean log EuroSCORE of the entire study group was 25 ± 16% (33 ± 21% in group B vs 22 ± 14% in group A; P<.001). Overall device success was 90% (91.3% in group A vs 86.5% in group B; P=.02). Overall 30-day mortality was 9.7%. Group B had a higher 30-day mortality compared with group A (14.7% vs 7.8%, respectively; P=.01). Group B.5 had the lowest 30-day mortality (3.3%). CONCLUSION Corresponding to the higher surgical risk of group B, 30-day mortality was higher for off-label pts. Patients treated as valve-in-valve had the lowest 30-day mortality, emphasizing its great potential as opposed to redo open-heart surgery.

Abstract
AIMS Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation (TMViVI) for the treatment of failing mitral xenografts or recurrent mitral regurgitation after surgical ring implantation is an emerging therapy for patients in need of repeated mitral valve surgery. Despite the fact that these procedures have been shown to be feasible and effective, haemodynamic data after TMViVI are still limited in the literature. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve patients (logES: 39.2±23.5%) were treated either by transapical (n=7) or transseptal (n=5) TMViVI, as a valve-in-valve (ViV, n=8) or valve-in-ring (ViR, n=4) implantation. Left atrial pressures (LAP), transmitral gradients and right heart haemodynamics (Swan-Ganz catheterisation) were studied before and after TMViVI. Procedural success was 100%, mitral regurgitation after TMViVI was mild in one, trace in five and absent in six patients. Thirty-day mortality was 0%. Left atrial pressures decreased significantly after valve implantation (before LAPmean/v-wave: 24.3/44.1 mmHg; after LAP/v-wave 15.9/22.1 mmHg; p<0.001) and cardiac output increased significantly. Transmitral gradients corresponded to mitral surface areas between 1.7 and 3.5 cm2, and were thus very acceptable in terms of the high surgical risk population. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, TMViVI with the balloon-expandable SAPIEN XT valve for ViV or ViR implantation is feasible with promising acute transmitral haemodynamic data. Nevertheless, sustained long-term performance remains to be demonstrated in the future.

Abstract
AIMS To prove the efficacy and safety of renal sympathetic denervation as a new treatment option for patients suffering from resistant hypertension in a real-world setting. METHODS AND RESULTS This single-centre real-world registry included 93 patients who underwent renal denervation employing the Symplicity system. Patients were followed for six months. The patient cohort was divided into early responders with a reduction of office systolic blood pressure >10 mmHg three months after the procedure (n=53, 57%), late responders (six months after the procedure, n=16, 17%) and non-responders (n=24, 26%). After six months, systolic blood pressure was lowered by 46±2.9 mmHg (mean±SEM, p<0.001), 31±3.4 mmHg (p<0.001) and 7.1±3.3 mmHg (p=0.79, ns), respectively. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring also showed a significant reduction in the early responder group (20±5.7 mmHg, p=0.002). We subjected eight patients to a re-do procedure which led to a significant reduction of blood pressure in another five patients after six months (63%). One patient in this cohort developed a one-sided renal artery stenosis associated with an increase in blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS This real-world analysis of renal sympathetic denervation confirms the procedure to be safe and efficient in the majority of patients. Non-responders may profit from a second ablation, arguing in favour of the hypothesis that the procedure did not destroy sufficient amounts of sympathetic innervation in these patients. However, repeated denervations may also increase side effects.

Abstract
The details are reported of a novel treatment strategy using two-clip delivery systems (2CDS) simultaneously, after double trans-septal puncture, for the treatment of severe functional mitral regurgitation. In five individual patients with complex mitral regurgitation, both CDSs were used successfully to titrate for an optimal result. The learning curve and limitations of this particular approach are described.

Abstract
We report on a novel treatment strategy using two clip delivery systems (CDS) simultaneously, after double transseptal puncture, for treatment of severe functional mitral regurgitation. Both CDS were used to titrate for an optimal result in a patient with a severe coaptation gap of both mitral leaflets. The patient was successfully treated with two MitraClips. Thus, even a contraindication for MitraClip can be overcome with a more complex double guide intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is accumulating evidence that up to 20% of the implanted devices after TAVI are associated with a significant degree of paravalvular leaks, which appear to be associated with a negative clinical outcome. METHODS A total of 355 patients with severe aortic valvular stenosis (AVS) were treated by TAVI (Corevalve n = 222, Edwards Sapien n = 133). Survival, NT-proBNP and the grade of PVL were quantified up to 12 months after implantation. RESULTS Technical success rate was 97.8%. Thirty-day mortality was 9.6%. Post-procedural transvalvular aortic regurgitation was seen only in a minority of cases (5%), whereas PVL were frequently observed (grade: <1+ in 58.2%, ≥1-<2 in 33.9%, and ≥2 in 7.9%). There was a clear relation-ship between PVL and adverse outcome (P < 0.001). After a transient increase, NT-proBNP showed a significant decline. Interestingly, a PVL ≥2+ was associated with a much higher rise in NT-proBNP compared to the other groups (P < 0.01), and a post-procedural increase in NT-proBNP by more than 1640 ng L(-1) within 5 days was associated with a significant increase in rate of death (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS TAVI is an efficient treatment option for high-risk patients with severe AVS. The incidence of PVL is an inacceptable clinical problem. Serial measurement of NT-proBNP can be used for risk-stratification in patients with a significant PVL. In general, PVL graded ≥2+ is associated with a dramatically increased 6-month mortality. Therefore, any action to reduce paraprosthetical regurgitation is highly recommended.

Abstract
In this preliminary study, the value of different platelet parameters, measured by the ADVIA120 Analyzer, in predicting the immediate response to intravenous immunoglobulin or intravenous anti-RhoD was assessed in 31 patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. The number of large platelets pre-treatment was the only independent predictor of the 24 hour-platelet increase.
