2025 ESC/EACTS valvular heart disease guidelines: practical updates on mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.
Article in European heart journal supplements : journal of the European Society of Cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
2025 ESC/EACTS guidelines for valvular heart disease reflect the rapid evolution of transcatheter technologies and multidisciplinary care. In primary mitral regurgitation, surgical repair remains the gold standard, with a new Class I recommendation for asymptomatic patients and refined timing incorporating indexed left ventricular end-systolic dimension. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is upgraded to Class IIa for symptomatic high-risk patients. In secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), the guidelines distinguish between atrial and ventricular phenotypes. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair has now a Class I [Level of Evidence (LOE) A] recommendation for very selected patients with ventricular SMR symptomatic despite guideline-directed medical therapy. For atrial SMR, surgery-often involving concomitant atrial fibrillation ablation-is preferred in suitable candidates, while TEER is reserved to high-risk patients. Regarding tricuspid regurgitation, the guidelines emphasize early referral and structured evaluation of right ventricular function and pulmonary pressures (Class I). Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions are upgraded to Class IIa (LOE A) for symptomatic high-risk patients, provided severe right ventricular dysfunction or precapillary pulmonary hypertension are absent. These updates redefine atrio-ventricular valve management by promoting earlier and personalized intervention. They solidify the role of transcatheter therapies as evidence-based, outcome-modifying options within a Heart Valve Centre framework, while precisely delineating the continued priority of surgery in lower-risk populations and complex anatomies.
