Percutaneous Intervention in External Outflow Graft Obstruction of Magnetically Levitated Left Ventricular Assist Device: Long‐Term Follow‐Up and Quality of Life

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
eOGO is an uncommon adverse event in patients on long‐term LVAD support. Thirty‐one eOGO patients were identified in a single‐centre HM3 implantation program. Twenty patients underwent percutaneous stenting. This treatment resulted in immediate LVAD flow improvement and yielded satisfactory quality‐of‐life results, with 62.5% patients assigned a fair ...

Long‐term echocardiographic findings in patients with idiopathic recurrent pericarditis treated with anakinra

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Idiopathic recurrent pericarditis (IRP) is considered an autoinflammatory disease, and interleukin 1 inhibitors, such as anakinra, are used to treat resistant cases. Constrictive pericarditis, a feared complication, continues to be a critical concern. In the biologic era, evidence on long‐term transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) findings

Feasibility and Outcomes of Intravenous Lithotripsy as an Adjunct in Complex Transvenous Lead Extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) of old leads is associated with increased procedural complexity and risk due to the development of calcified vascular adhesions. This may necessitate additional tools to free the leads. Shockwave intravenous lithotripsy (IVL), which employs acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcified lesions, has ...
