This is the first published description of edge-to-edge transcatheter mitral valve repair (ETE-TMVr) in a patient with Down’s Syndrome. This case experience suggests a potential role for ETE-TMVr in high-risk and complex congenital mitral...

In this case illustration, a Gerbode defect in a 52-year-old woman caused by infective endocarditis was closed with autologous pericardium. Postoperative echocardiographic findings were satisfactory without residual shunt flow or perivalvular...

During stent positioning after predilating with a non-compliant balloon, we observed major motion of our device in the left main coronary artery. Under those conditions, accurate stent placement was uncertain. To remedy this situation, we...
