Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Annular-based strategies for treating tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation do not always have satisfactory long-term outcomes. Management of failed TV annuloplasty can be challenging and requires a dedicated heart team approach. This review explores the treatment options available for failed TV annuloplasty. RECENT FINDINGS Recent developments and novel percutaneous treatment options have emerged as promising alternatives for patients with failed TV annuloplasty. Leaflet-based interventions, valve-in-valve procedures, transcatheter tricuspid valves and new-generation trans-caval valves are all feasible options, which can assure good results whilst minimizing risks for the patient. Failure of tricuspid annuloplasty is not uncommon amongst patients treated with either a tricuspid ring or suture-based device. The complex anatomy, physiology and clinical risk profile should be carefully evaluated on an individual patient-by-patient basis in order to select the most appropriate clinical and percutaneous treatment strategy. Different transcatheter tricuspid valve repair or replacement techniques may provide an attractive alternative treatment option for managing this challenging patient cohort.

Morphology and Position of the Right Atrioventricular Valve in Relation to Right Atrial Structures. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:960. [PMID: 34073631 PMCID: PMC8227200 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11060960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The right atrioventricular valve (RAV) is an important anatomical structure that prevents blood backflow from the right ventricle to the right atrium. The complex anatomy of the RAV has lowered the success rate of surgical and transcatheter procedures performed within the area. The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of the RAV and determine its spatial position in relation to selected structures of the right atrium. We examined 200 randomly selected human adult hearts. All leaflets and commissures were identified and measured. The position of the RAV was defined. Notably, 3-leaflet configurations were present in 67.0% of cases, whereas 4-leaflet configurations were present in 33.0%. Septal and mural leaflets were both significantly shorter and higher in 4-leaflet than in 3-leaflet RAVs. Significant domination of the muro-septal commissure in 3-leflet valves was noted. The supero-septal commissure was the most stable point within RAV circumference. In 3-leaflet valves, the muro-septal commissure was placed within the cavo-tricuspid isthmus area in 52.2% of cases, followed by the right atrial appendage vestibule region (20.9%). In 4-leaflet RAVs, the infero-septal commissure was located predominantly in the cavo-tricuspid isthmus area and infero-mural commissure was always located within the right atrial appendage vestibule region. The RAV is a highly variable structure. The supero-septal part of the RAV is the least variable component, whereas the infero-mural is the most variable. The number of detected RAV leaflets significantly influences the relative position of individual valve components in relation to right atrial structures.

Abstract
Introduction: During the past five years the approach to procedural planning, operative techniques and perfusion strategies for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has evolved. With the goal to provide a maximum of patient safety the procedure has been modified according to individual patient characteristics and is largely based on preoperative imaging.Areas covered: In this review article we describe the important factors in image based therapy planning and simulation, different access strategies, the operative key-steps, a rationale use of devices, and highlight a few future developments in the field of MIMVS. Published studies were identified through pearl growing, citation chasing, a search of PubMed using the systematic review methods filter, and the authors' topic knowledge.Expert opinion: With the help of expert teams including surgeons specialized in mitral repair, anesthesiologists and perfusionists a broad spectrum of mitral valve pathologies and related pathologies can be treated with excellent functional outcomes. Avoiding procedure related complications is the key for success for any MIMVS program.

Functional tricuspid regurgitation: indications, techniques, and outcomes. Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2020; 36:131-139.

Abstract
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results from asymmetric dilation of the tricuspid valve annulus. This often occurs due to right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction as a consequence of myocardial or valvular abnormalities of the left heart. Even mild TR at the time of left-sided valvular surgery may worsen postoperatively, which carries poor prognostic implications. In spite of data revealing poor outcomes associated with residual TR, surgery for functional TR remains underutilized. Surgical repair techniques for TR include placement of a rigid or semi-rigid tricuspid annular ring, which has been shown to provide superior longevity compared with suture and flexible band repair techniques. Additionally, emerging percutaneous annuloplasty techniques to correct functional TR can expand interventional treatment options to patients who would otherwise carry prohibitive operative risk.

Abstract
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the only preventable cardiovascular disease which causes significant morbidity and mortality particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Early clinical diagnosis is key, the updated Jones criteria increases the likelihood of diagnosis in endemic settings, including the echo diagnosis of sub-clinical carditis, polyarthralgia and monoarthritis as well as amended thresholds of minor criteria. The mainstay of rheumatic heart valve disease (RHVD) is a thorough clinical and echocardiographic investigation while severe disease is managed with medical, interventional and surgical treatment. In this report we detail some of the more recent epidemiological findings and focus on the diagnostic and interventional elements of the specific valve lesions. Finally, we discuss some of the recent efforts to improve medical and surgical management for this disease. As we are already more than a year from the historic 2018 World Heart Organization Resolution against Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease, we advocate strongly for renewed efforts to prioritize this disease across the endemic regions of the world.

Ex vivo assessment of bicuspidization repair in treating severe functional tricuspid regurgitation: a stereo-scopic PIV study. Sci Rep 2019; 9:11504.

Abstract
There has been a resurgence of interest in the treatment of severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) due to the awareness of its poor outcomes and potential percutaneous therapies. Kay bicuspidization has been adapted in percutaneous therapies but its clinical outcome remains uncertain. The present study evaluates the efficacy of Kay repair in a novel ex vivo pulsatile system. Porcine tricuspid valve (TV) (n = 3) was extracted and incorporated into a patient-specific silicon right ventricle (RV) emulating severe FTR, on which Kay repair was subsequently performed. TV area metrics and RV hemodynamic assessment by means of stereo-scopic particle image velocimetry were quantified in both FTR and post-repair conditions. Bicuspidization led to significant increase in cardiac output although the overall increment due to this approach alone was generally small, possibly due to existence of residual TR and the large reduction in TV opening area. Kinetic energy and viscous loss levels were increased post-repair, especially during diastolic filling. Main vortex structures generally maintained post-procedural. However, there was enhanced swirling motion in larger RV domain. Although this might reduce mural-thrombus risk, the relatively more complex vortex phenomenon likely resulted in elevated viscous loss observed and may potentially impact long-term adaptation. The RV hemodynamic alteration after tricuspid repair could be used to predict the success of these future transcatheter solutions.

Abstract
Proper tricuspid valve (TV) function is essential to unidirectional blood flow through the right side of the heart. Alterations to the tricuspid valvular components, such as the TV annulus, may lead to functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR), where the valve is unable to prevent undesired backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium during systole. Various treatment options are currently available for FTR; however, research for the tricuspid heart valve, functional tricuspid regurgitation, and the relevant treatment methodologies are limited due to the pervasive expectation among cardiac surgeons and cardiologists that FTR will naturally regress after repair of left-sided heart valve lesions. Recent studies have focused on (i) understanding the function of the TV and the initiation or progression of FTR using both in-vivo and in-vitro methods, (ii) quantifying the biomechanical properties of the tricuspid valve apparatus as well as its surrounding heart tissue, and (iii) performing computational modeling of the TV to provide new insight into its biomechanical and physiological function. This review paper focuses on these advances and summarizes recent research relevant to the TV within the scope of FTR. Moreover, this review also provides future perspectives and extensions critical to enhancing the current understanding of the functioning and remodeling tricuspid valve in both the healthy and pathophysiological states.

Abstract
Tricuspid valve dysfunction adversely affects prognosis and may cause severe symptoms. Among the different opportunity offered by transcatheter techniques, the valve in valve represents an emerging strategy to treat patients with degenerated surgical biological prosthesis. We describe a case report of a percutaneous valve in valve treatment of a very old and fluoroscopy invisible tricuspid degenerated bioprosthesis. In the reported case, pivotal issue for percutaneous valve in valve procedure success was the achievement of perfect alignment between transcatheter valve and degenerated bioprosthesis despite the horizontal right chamber axis and the poor valve visibility. Of note, the combination of jugular vein approach, transapical delivery system rotation, right ventricle guidewire placement, and right atrium angiography made the valve in valve procedure safely.
