Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows the evaluation of lungs that do not meet standard transplantation criteria. Current procedures do not permit the identification of regional functional deficits. We investigated the feasibility of assessing lobar gas exchange during EVLP in a swine model.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

1% Aspiration, 99% Perspiration
A 71-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent insertion of a left atrial appendage occlusion device. Before release, a large thrombus was noted within the left atrium, attached to the left atrial appendage occluder delivery system.

Abstract Introduction Active surveillance of adverse events using healthcare data is emerging as complementary to the monitoring of spontaneous reports and stand‐alone pharmacoepidemiologic studies. The risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) was listed as a special warning for sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) when marketed in Europe

Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...

Impact of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function
ObjectivesWe sought to investigate the short-term and midterm effects of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function. Left atrial appendage exclusion is considered a possible therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial ...
