Clinical Updates on Transcatheter Structural Heart Disease Interventions

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine aims to provide contemporary insights into the rapidly evolving field of transcatheter structural heart disease interventions. The focus will encompass comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspectives on patient selection, procedural strategies, and long-term outcomes across the spectrum of aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve therapies.

For the aortic valve, topics of interest include lifetime management concepts, strategies for maintaining future coronary access, and surgical approaches for failed transcatheter devices.

In the mitral field, we welcome submissions addressing optimization of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) outcomes, defining the role of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in relation to surgery and TEER, and contemporary data on clinical results in functional and primary mitral regurgitation.

For the tricuspid valve, contributions may focus on patient pathways from optimal medical therapy to transcatheter interventions, the prognostic implications of residual regurgitation after TEER, and postprocedural management challenges such as device-related complications, pacemaker dependency, anticoagulation, thrombotic events, pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular dysfunction.

We invite original research, review articles, and expert perspectives that advance clinical understanding and guide best practices in transcatheter valve therapies.
