Frailty significantly impacts clinical outcomes in LVAD recipients. This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal that frail patients experience higher long‐term mortality but comparable short‐term mortality, hospital stay, and complication rates to non‐frail patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation: predictors of procedural success—the Siegburg-Bern experience [PDF]
Aims The purpose of the present analysis was to identify predictors of procedural success of percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results We prospectively assessed in-hospital outcome of patients undergoing TAVI at two

M101 Hemoglobin enhances the mechanical and functional properties of rat heart and diaphragm muscles. Treated muscles exhibit improved contraction, reduced fatigue, and maintained function over time, suggesting potential clinical applications of M101 in preventing ischemia–reperfusion injury.

Prognostic value of the ratio between prothesis area and indexed annulus area measured by multiSlice-CT for transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures [PDF]
Background Postprocedural aortic regurgitations following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures remain an is- sue. Benefit of oversizing strategies to prevent them isn’t well established.

The IC direction in HM3 was influenced by the mitral valve height from the LV apex, distance between the LV apex and chest wall, and thoracic depth from the LV apex. Moreover, the IC direction in HM3 had little influence on the flow, PAWP and the survival rate of patients.

Physiological Control of Realheart Total Artificial Heart
This study evaluates the Realheart Total Artificial Heart's preload‐based physiological controller, which dynamically adjusts heart rate and stroke volume to mimic the heart's natural responses during sleep, rest, and exercise using a hybrid mock circulation loop of the cardiovascular system.

Outcomes for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in Three Decades: A Report From a UK Surgical Centre
ABSTRACT Aims Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with lung hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension and high mortality. Three decades experience from a UK centre is reported. Methods Medical records of CDH newborns between February 1990 and November 2021 and attending a multidisciplinary clinic were examined. Survival and health outcomes are
