Abstract
INTRODUCTION Double-orifice mitral valve or left atrioventricular valve is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that may be associated with an atrioventricular septal defect. The surgical management of double-orifice mitral valve/double-orifice left atrioventricular valve with atrioventricular septal defect is highly challenging with acceptable clinical outcomes. This meta-analysis is aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of double-orifice mitral valve/double-orifice left atrioventricular valve repair in patients with atrioventricular septal defect. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of eight studies were retrieved from the literature by searching through PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Using Bayesian hierarchical models, we estimated the pooled proportion of incidence of double-orifice mitral valve/double-orifice left atrioventricular valve with atrioventricular septal defect as 4.88% in patients who underwent surgical repair (7 studies; 3295 patients; 95% credible interval [CI] 4.2-5.7%). As compared to pre-operative regurgitation, the pooled proportions of post-operative regurgitation were significantly low in patients with moderate status: 5.1 versus 26.39% and severe status: 5.7 versus 29.38% [8 studies; 171 patients]. Moreover, the heterogeneity test revealed consistency in the data (p < 0.05). Lastly, the pooled estimated proportions of early and late mortality following surgical interventions were low, that is, 5 and 7.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION The surgical management of moderate to severe regurgitation showed corrective benefits post-operatively and was associated with low incidence of early mortality and re-operation.

Abstract
Purpose of Review To provide a detailed overview of complications associated with MitraClip therapy and its development over time with the aim to alert physicians for early recognition of complications and to offer treatment strategies for each complication, if possible. Recent Findings The MitraClip system (MC) is the leading transcatheter technique to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) and has been established as a safe procedure with very low adverse event rates compared to mitral surgery at intermediate to high risk or in secondary MR. Lately, the fourth MC generation has been launched with novel technical features to facilitate device handling, decrease complication rates, and allow the treatment of even complex lesions. Summary Although the complication rate is low, adverse events are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The most common complications are bleeding, acute kidney failure, procedure-induced mitral stenosis, and an iatrogenic atrial septal defect with unknown clinical impact. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11886-021-01553-9.

Functional and Biomechanical Effects of the Edge-to-Edge Repair in the Setting of Mitral Regurgitation: Consolidated Knowledge and Novel Tools to Gain Insight into Its Percutaneous Implementation.

Abstract
Mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent heart valve disease in the western population. When severe, it requires surgical treatment, repair being the preferred option. The edge-to-edge repair technique treats mitral regurgitation by suturing the leaflets together and creating a double-orifice valve. Due to its relative simplicity and versatility, it has become progressively more widespread. Recently, its percutaneous version has become feasible, and has raised interest thanks to the positive results of the Mitraclip(®) device. Edge-to-edge features and evolution have stimulated debate and multidisciplinary research by both clinicians and engineers. After providing an overview of representative studies in the field, here we propose a novel computational approach to the most recent percutaneous evolution of the edge-to-edge technique. Image-based structural finite element models of three mitral valves affected by posterior prolapse were derived from cine-cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The models accounted for the patient-specific 3D geometry of the valve, including leaflet compound curvature pattern, patient-specific motion of annulus and papillary muscles, and hyperelastic and anisotropic mechanical properties of tissues. The biomechanics of the three valves throughout the entire cardiac cycle was simulated before and after Mitraclip(®) implantation, assessing the biomechanical impact of the procedure. For all three simulated MVs, Mitraclip(®) implantation significantly improved systolic leaflets coaptation, without inducing major alterations in systolic peak stresses. Diastolic orifice area was decreased, by up to 58.9%, and leaflets diastolic stresses became comparable, although lower, to systolic ones. Despite established knowledge on the edge-to-edge surgical repair, latest technological advances make its percutanoues implementation a challenging field of research. The modeling approach herein proposed may be expanded to analyze clinical scenarios that are currently critical for Mitraclip(®) implantation, helping the search for possible solutions.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the outcomes of mitral valve surgery in octogenarians with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of data on octogenarians who underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) or mitral valve repair (MVRpr). Our search yielded 16 retrospective studies. Using Bayesian hierarchical models, we estimated the pooled proportion of 30-day mortality, postoperative stroke, and long-term survival. The pooled proportion of 30-day postoperative mortality was 13% following MVR (10 studies, 3,105 patients, 95% credible interval [CI] 9-18%), and 7% following MVRpr (six studies, 2,642 patients, 95% CI: 3-12%). Furthermore, pooled proportions of postoperative stroke were 4% (six studies, 2,945 patients, 95% CI: 3-7%) and 3% (three studies, 348 patients, 95% CI: 1-8%) for patients undergoing MVR and MVRpr, respectively. Pooled survival rates at one and five years following MVR (four studies, 250 patients) were 67% (95% CI: 50-80%) and 29% (95% CI: 16-47%), and following MVRpr (three studies, 333 patients) were 69% (95% CI: 50-83%) and 23% (95% CI: 12-39%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment of MR in octogenarians is associated with high perioperative mortality and poor long-term survival with an uncertain benefit on quality of life. These data highlight the importance of patient selection for operative intervention and suggest that future transcatheter mitral valve therapies such as transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) and/or transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI), may provide an alternative therapeutic approach in selected high-risk elderly patients.

Abstract
Percutaneous techniques for the treatment of mitral regurgitation have aroused much interest in recent years. Percutaneous mitral annuloplasty can be performed indirectly by using devices implanted in the coronary sinus or directly by using a retrograde approach. However, as yet, the results of these techniques are scarce and some devices have a high complications rate. The most frequent percutaneous mitral valve repair technique consists of mitral leaflet plication by implanting 1 or more percutaneous clips (MitraClip) in an imitation of the Alfieri surgical technique. Clinical experience with this device is broader than that with any other. The MitraClip device is associated with improved mitral regurgitation in a high percentage of carefully-selected patients. However, the single randomized study performed to date (EVEREST) showed its efficacy to be less than that of surgical repair and we await the results of new randomized studies that should clarify which patient-type can benefit most from this technique. Other left ventricular remodeling devices, tendinous cord implantation, and leaflet ablation are currently undergoing preclinical development or first-in-human experimentation. Finally, the development of biological prostheses for percutaneous mitral valve replacement is at an early stage. Many promising experiments at the preclinical phase and initial experiments in humans will very probably multiply in the near future. However, the true role of this technique in treating mitral valve disease will have to be evaluated in appropriately designed randomized controlled studies.

Abstract
The structural compliance of the aortic root has a significant implication for valve procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation and valve-sparing aortic root replacement. However, a detailed quantification of human aortic root structural compliance, particularly in different regions, has been incomplete. In this study, the structural properties of human aortic roots (81 ± 8.74 years, n = 10) were characterized and compared with those of porcine ones (6-9 months, n = 10) using a vessel pressure-inflation test. The test involved tracking three-dimensional deformation of the markers affixed on the different surface regions of the aortic roots, including the three sinuses: the noncoronary sinus (NCS), the left-coronary sinus (LCS), and the right-coronary sinus (RCS), and at three regions along the longitudinal direction of each sinus: the upper sinus (US), the middle sinus (MS), and the lower sinus (LS), and the ascending aorta (AA) region above the NCS. We found that tissue stiffness in physiological pressure range was similar among the three human sinuses. A variation in regional structural stiffness of human aorta was observed. In the circumferential direction, the LS regions were the stiffest in the LCS and RCS, whereas NCS had relatively uniform stiffness. In the longitudinal direction, the human AA regions were more compliant than all sinuses. There was a significant difference in tissue stiffness between human and porcine aortic tissues, suggesting that the mechanical properties of porcine tissues may not be analogous to aged human ones.

Abstract
Success of the deployment and function in transcatheter aortic valve replacement is heavily reliant on the tissue-stent interaction. The present study quantified important tissue-stent contact variables of self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve stents when deployed into ovine and porcine aortic roots, such as the stent radial expansion force, stent pullout force, the annulus deformation response and the coefficient of friction on the tissue-stent contact interface. Braided Nitinol stents were developed, tested to determine stent crimped diameter vs. stent radial force from a stent crimp experiment, and deployed in vitro to quantify stent pullout, aortic annulus deformation, and the coefficient of friction between the stent and the aortic tissue from an aortic root-stent interaction experiment. The results indicated that when crimped at body temperature from 26 mm to 19, 21 and 23 mm stent radial forces were approximately 30-40% higher than those crimped at room temperature. Coefficients of friction leveled to approximately 0.10 ± 0.01 as stent wire diameter increased and annulus size decreased from 23 to 19 mm. Regardless of aortic annulus size and species tested, it appeared that a minimum of about 2.5 mm in annular dilatation, caused by about 60 N of radial force from stent expansion, was needed to anchor the stent against a pullout into the left ventricle. The study of the contact biomechanics in animal aortic tissues may help us better understand characteristics of tissue-stent interactions and quantify the baseline responses of non-calcified aortic tissues.

Abstract
Percutaneous approaches to mitral regurgitation remain largely investigational. In the last decade, novel percutaneous strategies have opened new options in the treatment of valvular heart disease. Several studies are currently underway to determine the benefits of transcatheter mitral valve repair therapy. Transcatheter chordal procedures are being developed, including chordal cutting and chordal implantation. Transcatheter valve implantation in the mitral position might offer a desirable alternative in selected patients and has been accomplished in a compassionate fashion on rare occasions in patients who are not candidates for surgical valve repair or replacement.

Abstract
Mitral regurgitation is a common problem associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mitral valve surgery has been the treatment of choice for symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation or asymptomatic patients with high-risk clinical features. However, a significant number of patients remain untreated related mainly due to a projected high surgical risk. Therefore, alternative percutaneous treatments including indirect annuloplasty, which takes advantage of the coronary sinus, and direct annuloplasty have recently been explored. Most recently, promising results of the first randomized trial comparing conventional mitral valve surgery to percutaneous therapy with a clip creating a double orifice much like the surgical Alfieri approach have been presented. Finally, percutaneous mitral valve replacement in an animal model has been pursued. This review serves to familiarize the reader with some anatomical concepts and devices for percutaneous mitral repair.

Abstract
The incidence of mitral regurgitation (MR) is rising as a result of an aging population worldwide. Surgical repair or replacement of the mitral valve remains the standard of care for patients with severe MR as the only approach to achieve sustained relief of symptoms or heart failure. However, the majority of patients with severe MR do not undergo surgery because of high perceived perioperative risk. Recently, there has been great enthusiasm in the pursuit of a less invasive percutaneous approach to the treatment of MR to avoid thoracotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass, even if less efficacious. This article reviews the latest developments of various percutaneous options in the treatment of MR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To introduce a new transseptal (TS) needle assembled in our laboratory--the coaxial TS (CTS) needle--and describe our experience with it in creating experimental atrial septal defects (ASD) in adult sheep. BACKGROUND With commercially available TS needles, we were not able to consistently perform TS puncture at the fossa ovalis in adult sheep. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten adult sheep with a mean weight of 63.5 kg were used. The CTS needle consists of four components: a 9F Teflon catheter, a 14-gauge blunt curved-tip metal cannula, a 4F tapered catheter, and a 20-gauge open needle. A transjugular 5F pigtail catheter was used to display the septal anatomy by angiocardiography and was left in place to mark the level of the fossa ovalis. The septum was then probed by a transfemoral 5F curved-tip end-hole catheter. The CTS needle was aligned with the tip of the transjugular catheter, and the TS puncture was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. After documenting a left atrial position, a balloon angioplasty catheter was used for creation of the ASD. RESULTS A small patent foramen ovale was discovered by septal probing in one sheep. All sheep underwent successful TS punctures without complications. The ASD size ranged from 13 to 15 mm. In eight sheep, the ASD was in fossa ovalis. In the first two sheep where the needle was not well aligned with the marking catheter, the ASD was in the septum secundum. No damage to the atrial or other heart structures was found at necropsy. CONCLUSION The CTS needle is a suitable needle for TS puncture and ASD creation in adult sheep. Proper alignment of the CTS needle with a catheter marking the fossa ovalis is essential for successful puncture.

Abstract
Valvular heart disease occurs in 2-3% of the general population with an increase in prevalence with advancing age. The aetiology of valvular heart disease has evolved in recent decades with degenerative aortic and mitral valve disease supplanting rheumatic heart disease as a primary cause. The common valve lesions to be discussed in this article are aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation. The traditional approach to calcific aortic stenosis when either symptoms or left ventricular impairment develops is surgical aortic valve replacement and it remains a treatment with excellent outcomes. In recent years there has been interest in less invasive approaches, including percutaneous and transapical aortic valve implantation. With refinements in technology these approaches are becoming a potential treatment option, primarily for high-risk patients who may otherwise be unsuitable for traditional open surgical treatment. Catheter-based approaches for mitral valve disease are also evolving. Mitral regurgitation may often be the result of mitral annular dilatation seen in patients with an enlarged left ventricle or left atrium. Percutaneous implantation of a constricting device in the coronary sinus, which lies in close proximity to the mitral annulus, results in a change to the geometry of the mitral valve and reduced regurgitation. Another technique in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation is the endovascular edge-to-edge repair in which coaptation of the mitral valve leaflets can be improved with a percutaneously deployed clip. Small patient series indicate that these new techniques are promising. As such, advances in percutaneous interventional and surgical approaches have the potential to further improve outcomes for selected patients with valvular heart disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We developed and tested a novel transcatheter circumferential annuloplasty technique to reduce mitral regurgitation in porcine ischemic cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND Catheter-based annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation exploits the proximity of the coronary sinus to the mitral annulus, but is limited by anatomic variants and coronary artery entrapment. METHODS The procedure, "cerclage annuloplasty," is guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) roadmaps fused with live X-ray. A coronary sinus guidewire traverses a short segment of the basal septal myocardium to re-enter the right heart where it is exchanged for a suture. Tension is applied interactively during imaging and secured with a locking device. RESULTS We found 2 feasible suture pathways from the great cardiac vein across the interventricular septum to create cerclage. Right ventricular septal re-entry required shorter fluoroscopy times than right atrial re-entry, which entailed a longer intramyocardial traversal but did not cross the tricuspid valve. Graded tension progressively reduced septal-lateral annular diameter, but not end-systolic elastance or regional myocardial function. A simple arch-like device protected entrapped coronary arteries from compression even during supratherapeutic tension. Cerclage reduced mitral regurgitation fraction (from 22.8 +/- 12.7% to 7.2 +/- 4.4%, p = 0.04) by slice tracking velocity-encoded MRI. Flexible cerclage reduced annular size but preserved annular motion. Cerclage also displaced the posterior annulus toward the papillary muscles. Cerclage introduced reciprocal constraint to the left ventricular outflow tract and mitral annulus that enhanced leaflet coaptation. A sample of human coronary venograms and computed tomography angiograms suggested that most have suitable venous anatomy for cerclage. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter mitral cerclage annuloplasty acutely reduces mitral regurgitation in porcine ischemic cardiomyopathy. Entrapped coronary arteries can be protected. MRI provided insight into the mechanism of cerclage action.
