A 70-year-old man with severe dyspnea, leg edema, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and liver fibrosis requires treatment strategies for managing tricuspid and mitral regurgitation with elevated pressures and reduced cardiac output.
Tiffany Patterson and Philipp Lurz share their approach to treating patients with multiple valve issues (aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation...) and discuss strategies for deciding which valve to treat first, the challenges of managing these patients and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
CRABBIS: This two-part study compares two key approaches: PKP (POT, kissing balloon inflation, final POT) and PSP (POT, isolated side branch dilation, final POT) to determine the optimal strategy.
This complex case explores the challenges of treating a severely calcified, uncrossable RCA lesion in a 72-year-old patient with recurrent angina. Discover how multiple debulking strategies and intracoronary imaging played a key role in achieving optimal results.
At two-year follow-up, the use of sirolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium DynamX Drug Eluting Coronary Bioadaptor System (Elixir Medical Corporation) resulted in fewer target lesion failure (TLF) compared with the Resolute Onyx contemporary drug-eluting stent.

Primary tricuspid regurgitation: how can we avoid high-risk surgery?
Navigating LAA closure in retrobend chicken-wing anatomy
A 76-year-old female patient presents for LAA closure, however, preprocedural imaging reveals a challenging retrobend chicken-wing morphology. What is the best technique to optimize positioning and ensure safe, effective closure in this scenario?
