Artificial Organs, EarlyView.We have developed a unique method for pre‐clinical heart valve prostheses evaluation of calcification propensity. Results from the test can directly be translated into improvements of prostheses design, materials, and anti‐calcification treatments, and therefore have a significant impact on heart valve prostheses quality and patient care in the future.

Trial‐Based Hemolysis Modeling to Investigate Operating Modes of Continuous‐Flow LVADs
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.This work presents a methodology for determining online‐capable hemolysis models for continuous‐flow LVADs, derived from in vitro trials. The models are based on fitting a modified power law and applying the Lagrangian approach. They assist clinicians in selecting treatment strategies that minimize hemolysis, as demonstrated with the Sputnik1 LVAD ...

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Aspirin discontinuation in long‐term, stable Heart Mate 3 LVAD patients maintained on Vitamin K antagonists did not increase hemocompatibility‐related adverse events. These findings support the safety of simplified antithrombotic therapy and extend randomized evidence for aspirin avoidance to the long‐term management of Heart Mate 3 recipients ...

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Percutaneous femoro‐femoral V‐A ECMO cannulation was associated with more than a two‐fold lower risk of site bleeding and nearly a six‐fold lower risk of infection compared with surgical cut‐down, with no difference in limb ischemia. Absence of distal perfusion catheterization and larger arterial cannula size were additional modifiable ischemia risk ...
