Detection of aortic graft infection by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: Comparison with computed tomographic findings [PDF]

, 2005
ObjectiveRadionuclide imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) has been proposed for the identification of vascular graft infection; however, its accuracy has not been determined. We performed this prospective study to

SURGELLA: A Scoping Review of Impella‐Assisted Hemodynamic Support in High‐Risk Non‐Cardiac Surgery

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In selected patients with severe LV dysfunction, Impella‐supported non‐cardiac surgery may provide a temporary hemodynamic bridge to otherwise prohibitive procedures. Published evidence remains limited to a small number of highly selected cases, supporting technical feasibility rather than comparative benefit or generalizable safety.

Experimental Extracorporeal Circulation System: A Pilot Study in Rats

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A miniature extracorporeal circulation (ECC) system was developed for reproducible rodent studies. This system incorporates an integrated heat exchanger and a silicone membrane oxygenator within a double‐lumen circuit, resulting in an ultralow priming volume of < 1.5 mL.

Prevention and Management of Driveline Infections in Ventricular Assist Device Patients: The DESTINE 2.0 Staging Proposal and Expert Recommendations

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
DESTINE 2.0 decision flowchart: stage‐based assessment and management of driveline exit‐site disorders. The flowchart provides a simplified decision‐support tool for the stage‐based evaluation and management of driveline exit‐site disorders in LVAD patients, intended as a practical complement to the staging pyramid (Figre 2) and the detailed staging ...

Catastrophic Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Rare Black Fungi

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Fungal infection of prosthetic heart valves is rare and can lead to severe complications including death. Dematiaceous mold, also known as “black fungi,” are an extremely rare cause of endocarditis that usually affect immunocompromised hosts.

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Infective endocarditis with perivalvular abscess following sutureless valve implantation, successfully treated with aortic root reconstruction and biological Bentall procedure

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Aortic valve prosthetic infections can lead to the spread of infection, causing annular abscesses and annular destruction, which may require annular reconstruction and aortic root replacement.
