Decision-making in elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis: why are so many denied surgery?
TLDR
Surgery was denied in 33% of elderly patients with severe, symptomatic AS, and older age and LV dysfunction were the most striking characteristics of patients who were denied surgery, whereas comorbidity played a less important role.

Percutaneous Repair or Medical Treatment for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation
TLDR
Among patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation, the rate of death or unplanned hospitalization for heart failure at 1 year did not differ significantly between patients who underwent percutaneous mitral‐valve repair in addition to receiving medical therapy and those who received medical therapy alone.

Quantitative determinants of the outcome of asymptomatic mitral regurgitation.
TLDR
Quantitative grading of mitral Regurgitation is a powerful predictor of the clinical outcome of asymptomatic mitral regurgitation and patients with an effective regurgitant orifice of at least 40 mm2 should promptly be considered for cardiac surgery.

Association Between Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Subsequent Infective Endocarditis and In-Hospital Death.
TLDR
Among patients undergoing TAVR, younger age, male sex, history of diabetes mellitus, and moderate to severe residual aortic regurgitation were significantly associated with an increased risk of infective endocarditis.

Evaluation and Clinical Implications of Aortic Valve Calcification Measured by Electron-Beam Computed Tomography
TLDR
AVC is accurately and reproducibly measured by EBCT and shows a strong association and diagnostic value for severe AS and the curvilinear relationship between AVC and AVA suggests these measures are complementary, and indeed, AVC provides independent outcome information.
