  • Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement for severe tricuspid regurgitation: a case report and literature review

    ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of LuX-Valve implantation in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and review articles about similar devices.MethodsWe reported the data of a 58-year-old male patient with severe TR, who was hospitalized on March 17th, 2020 because of “abdominal distention and edema for 5 years”, and then received LuX-Valve implantation in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University. Articles about transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement were reviewed in PubMed according to the key words including “transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement” “TTVR” and “transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention”.ResultsThe patient with severe TR received LuX-Valve implantation under general anesthesia and the guidance of digital subtraction angiography and transesophageal echocardiography. The patient’s TR was totally corrected after implantation and postoperative one-month follow-up showed well clinical effects. The result of literature review showed that there were two similar devices and both had been implanted in TR patients.ConclusionLuX-Valve is an effective and reliable transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement device.

  • Clinical treatment of acute aortic dissection in late pregnancy and puerperium

    Objective To study the clinical characteristics, therapy strategies and the outcomes of female patients with acute aortic dissection during late pregnancy and puerperal period. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 7 patients with acute aortic dissection during late pregnancy and puerperal period in Shanghai Changhai Hospital between August 2012 and June 2017. Five of the 7 patients were late stage pregnancy, 2 were puerperal period (1 at the postpartum night, 1 in 18 days after delivery). There were 6 patients of Stanford type A aortic dissection (85.7%), and 1 patient of type B aortic dissection (14.3%). The age of the patients ranged from 26 to 34 (30.8±3.1) years. Cardiac ultrasonography of patients with type A showed that the maximum diameter of the ascending aortas was 4.2–5.7 (4.7±0.6) cm, of which 2 patients were aneurysm of aortic sinus, 3 patients were with Marfan syndrome. Bentall procedure was conducted in 1 patient, Bentall+Sun’s surgery in 2 patients, ascending aorta replacement+Sun’s+coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in 1 patient, aortic root remodeling+ascending aorta replacement+Sun’s surgery in 2 patients. One patient with Stanford type B acute aortic dissection was performed with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) after cesarean section. Results Aortic blocking time ranged from 51 to 129 (85.5±22.9) min. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 75–196 (159.0±44.0) min. Moderate hypothermic circulation arrest with selective cerebral perfusion time was 20–30 (23.8±3.5) min. All maternal and fetuses survived. The infant whose mother received aortic repair in early stage and then received cesarean section was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Maternal and fetuses were followed up for 9 months to 4 years. During the follow up period, all the fetuses grew well except the cerebral palsy one, and all maternal recovered well. The patient who received aortic repair in the early stage, had a sigmoid rupture during cesarean section and was treated with sigmoid colostomy. Another patient with Stanford type A dissection was diagnosed as left renal vein entrapment syndrome after 2 years. Conclusion Type A aortic dissection is more common in late pregnancy and puerperal patients. And Marfan syndrome is a high-risk factor for acute aortic dissection in pregnancy women. Early and appropriate surgical treatment strategy based on the type of aortic dissection and gestational age are the key points to achieve good outcomes both for maternal and fetus.

  • Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement via vena jugularis interna: A case report

    We reported a 54-year-old female patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation, who received mechanic valve in the mitral position 15 years ago. The patient’s Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was 8.27%, and was intolerant to open heart surgery, so she was recommended for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement via right vena jugularis interna. The procedures were guided by echocardiography and X ray fluoroscopy on November 13, 2021, the prosthesis was implanted successfully, and the patient was recoved without any adverse events. After 1 month follow-up, her general condition was apparently improved.
