TL;DR: In conclusion, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is infrequently performed in the United States, and is associated with high 1-year mortality, and patients at higher risk for mortality can be identified based on a number of comorbidities at the time of surgery.

TL;DR: BPD of the self-expanding bioprosthesis was performed in 22% of patients in the CoreValve US Clinical Trials most commonly to reduce the degree of residual AR and was effective in acutely improving valve performance without an associated increase in neurologic events.

TL;DR: There were no differences in post-operative lactate levels or clinical outcomes between patients receiving thiamine or placebo, and Post-operative oxygen consumption was significantly increased among patients receivingThiamine.

TL;DR: Compared with patients without POAF, those with POAF demonstrated mitochondrial dysfunction at various levels that are suitable for potential pharmacotherapy.

TL;DR: The tricuspid annulus demonstrates selective dynamism over the cardiac cycle, and its axis of maximal dynamism is different from the axis (S-L) that is routinely measured with 2D TEE.
