The Hidden Vulnerability: How Underlying SMA Stenosis Turns Routine Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Support Into Fatal Mesenteric Ischemia. [PDF]

Case Rep Crit Care
Intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy is a widely used mechanical circulatory support device for patients with cardiogenic shock. Although generally safe, IABP insertion can lead to serious complications, including the rare but potentially fatal development of mesenteric ischemia. We report a 58‐year‐old female smoker who presented with ST‐elevation

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Presenting With Recurrent Syncope After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Syncope is a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction after high spinal cord injury. However, it is rarely reported as a feature of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) after spinal cord injury. This case report describes a male in his 50s suffering from C2 spinal cord injury who developed recurrent postural syncope post‐injury ...

Development of a Self-Deploying Extra-Aortic Compression Device for Medium-Term Hemodynamic Stabilization: A Feasibility Study. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A proof‐of‐concept device designed for minimally invasive, medium‐term hemodynamic support is developed. Utilizing a growing mechanism, the device autonomously wraps around the aorta and employs soft artificial muscles to deliver extra‐aortic compression.

The hemodynamics of counterpulsation

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1966
Summary and conclusions 1. Synchronized counterpulsation was applied to two groups of 9 dogs with the use of a new fluid-coupled pulse generator. Multiple measurements were made of central (cardiac) and peripheral hemodynamics. 2. The counterpulsation pump performance was superior to pneumatically coupled systems previously studied.

Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno-arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence. [PDF]

ESC Heart Fail
Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.
