Target Flow-Pressure Operating Range for Designing a Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support Device [PDF]

, 2019
Fontan operation as the current standard of care for the palliation of single ventricle defects results in significant late complications. Using a mechanical circulatory device for the right circulation to serve the function of the missing subpulmonary ventricle could potentially stabilize the failing Fontan circulation.

Deep Learning for Automatic Strain Quantification in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Quantification of cardiac motion with cine Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is an integral part of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) diagnosis. Yet, the expert evaluation of motion abnormalities with CMRI is a challenging task.

Mechanical Circulatory Support for the Management of Complex Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare but potentially fatal disease. The management of PPCM is individualized, and an early diagnosis is instrumental in the institution of an appropriate management plan. Here, we present a dramatic case of PPCM that

Left Ventricular Assist Device Outflow Cannula Obstruction

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
One of the dreaded complications of left ventricular assist device implantation is mechanical obstruction of the device secondary to pump thrombosis or mechanical outflow cannula obstruction.

Application of Machine Learning in Early Recommendation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Prolonged conduction through the myocardium can occur with HF, and a device-driven approach, termed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), can improve left ventricular (LV) myocardial conduction patterns.

Risks and Benefits of Using a Commercially Available Ventricular Assist Device for Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support: A Modeling Investigation [PDF]

, 2019
Fontan patients often develop circulatory failure and are in desperate need of a therapeutic solution. A blood pump surgically placed in the cavopulmonary pathway can substitute the function of the absent sub-pulmonary ventricle by generating a mild pressure boost.

Mechanical Circulatory Support for Right Ventricular Failure

Cardiac Failure Review, 2022
Right ventricular (RV) failure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with in-hospital mortality rates estimated as high as 70–75%. RV failure may occur following cardiac surgery in conjunction with left ventricular failure, or may be ...

Surface dose analysis and dosimetric comparison of Halcyon versus Truebeam in breast cancer radiotherapy: An OSL dosimetry study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Breast cancer is a neoplastic disease with high prevalence among women. Radiotherapy is one of the principal treatment modalities for this disease, but it poses significant challenges. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the technical and dosimetric performance of conventional C‐arm linac systems and a new design, Halcyon, in the ...

Log file‐based quality assurance method for respiratory gating system

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As medical linear accelerator technology advances, enabling higher dose rate deliveries, hypofractionation regimens has increased. This necessitates respiratory gating systems that synchronize radiation delivery with tumor position, requiring simple rigorous quality assurance (QA) to ensure treatment accuracy and patient safety ...
