Background: An atrioventricular defibrillator system with a floating atrial dipole (VDD ICD) can provide atrial sensing by a single lead. Our aim was to compare the arrhythmia detection efficacy of VDD ICDs with conventional single- (VVI) and dual ...

In Vitro Hemocompatibility of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in Continuous and Pulsatile Flow
BiVACOR's total artificial heart generates remarkably similar hemocompatibility when operated with a pulse or during continuous flow. Under both conditions, hemolysis and von Willebrand Factor multimers were similar to a commercial reference device after 6 h in vitro evaluation.

Outcomes in patients with cardiac amyloidosis undergoing catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmias
Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by atrial myopathy, which predisposes patients to atrial fibrillation (AF) and other atrial arrhythmias (AA).

Integrating Dialysis in Ex Situ Machine Perfusion: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Outcomes
Dialysis‐enhanced EVMP effectively maintains biochemical homeostasis, potentially mitigating metabolic stress and extending perfusion duration. Functional outcomes varied depending on the organ type, with the most pronounced benefits observed in cardiac perfusion.

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.

In this large multicenter study, AF before LVAD implantation was not associated with increased risks of mortality, bleeding, stroke, or pump thrombosis, but was linked to a higher incidence of late VAs. ABSTRACT Introduction A substantial proportion of patients receiving left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) present with pre‐existing atrial ...

Trial‐Based Hemolysis Modeling to Investigate Operating Modes of Continuous‐Flow LVADs
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 ...

In this single‐center retrospective cohort study, the use of PMX‐HA was significantly associated with a reduced risk of 1‐year mortality in patients with septic shock due to intra‐abdominal infection. In contrast, no significant association was observed between PMX‐HA use and 1‐year mortality risk in patients with septic shock caused by extra‐abdominal
