The Commando procedure is challenging, and aims to replace the mitral valve, the aortic valve and the aortic mitral curtain, when the latter is severely affected by pathological processes (such as infective endocarditis or massive calcification). Given the high complexity, it is seldomly performed. We aim to review the literature on early (hospitalization and up to 30 days) and long-term (at least 3 years of follow-up) results. Bibliographical research was performed on PubMed and Cochrane with a dedicated string. Papers regarding double valve replacement or repair in the context of aortic mitral curtain disease were included. The metaprop function was used to assess early survival and complications (pacemaker implantation, stroke and bleeding). Nine papers (540 patients, median follow-up 41 (IQR 24.5–51.5) months) were included in the study. Pooled proportion of early mortality, stroke, pacemaker implant and REDO for bleeding were, respectively 16.2%, 7.8%, 25.1% and 13.1%. The long-term survival rate ranged from 50% to 92.2%. Freedom from re-intervention was as high as 90.9% when the endocarditis was not the first etiology and 78.6% in case of valvular infection (one author had 100%). Freedom from IE recurrences reached 85% at 10 years. Despite the high mortality, the rates of re-intervention and infective endocarditis recurrences following the Commando procedure are satisfactory and confirm the need for an aggressive strategy to improve long-term outcomes.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance and can be potentially associated with several other concomitant anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect or congenital complete atrioventricular block. Different surgical options are used for treating the condition. Anatomic repair yields the best long-term outcomes; however, it is technically the most challenging. We present a case of a 3-year old female patient who was electively admitted for complete repair after pulmonary artery banding and pacemaker implantation soon after birth. Subsequently, an anatomic repair (double switch) was performed with an uneventful postoperative course and excellent mid-term outcomes.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Feasibility of concomitant leadless-pacemaker(LP) implantation plus atrioventricular node ablation(AVNA) is unknown. Moreover, safety issues in the long run are also undetermined. It seems theoretically attractive since it could avoid one additional procedure and catheter could be introduced through the same sheath employed for the LP. On the contrary, risk of dislocation/electrical variations could represent a shortcoming . Objective We aim to report 1) feasibility of concomitant AVNA after a LP implantation and 2) long-term outcomes.  Methods Single center, prospective and observational study of 243 consecutive patients with an indication for single-chamber pacemaker placement. The implantation procedure was carried out using a femoral approach and conventional technique. Successful implantation was accomplished in 242/243 patients referred for leadless implantation. In one patient, a complete obstruction of the inferior vena cava was documented, and a conventional unicameral pacemaker was implanted. Results 33 out of  242 patients underwent immediate AV ablation. Mean age was 75.2 ± 8.3 years. Were predominantly females: 25(75.7%) and indication was fast conduction atrial fibrillation(n = 25), atypical flutter or atrial tachycardia (n = 8). Mean acute "R wave" was 11.3mV, threshold of 0.55Vx0.24ms and impedance of 833Ω. Uneventful AV node ablation was performed in all of them immediately after LP implantation. Additional mean fluoroscopic time was 3.0 minutes. There were no vascular or arrhythmic complications after the implantation. After a mean follow-up of  19.9± 12 months, all patients remained alive without notable event, and electrical parameters remained unchanged.(Figure 1) Conclusions Conconmitant AVN ablation after LP implantation seems feasible without remarkable complications in the long run.  In our  experience, this approach appears more comfortable for the patients and less time-consuming than conventional pacemaker implantation with sequential AV node ablation. There were no device macrodislodgements or unexpected device malfunctions in the follow-up period. Abstract Figure. Electrical performance
