A Pulsatile Bioreactor for Conditioning of Tissue-Engineered Cardiovascular Constructs under Endoscopic Visualization

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2012
Heart valve disease (HVD) is a globally increasing problem and accounts for thousands of deaths yearly. Currently end-stage HVD can only be treated by total valve replacement, however with major drawbacks.

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.

Hemocompatibility Outcomes After Aspirin Withdrawal in Long‐Term HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients on Vitamin K Antagonists

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Aspirin discontinuation in long‐term, stable Heart Mate 3 LVAD patients maintained on Vitamin K antagonists did not increase hemocompatibility‐related adverse events. These findings support the safety of simplified antithrombotic therapy and extend randomized evidence for aspirin avoidance to the long‐term management of Heart Mate 3 recipients ...

Percutaneous Versus Surgical Cannulation for Femoro‐Femoral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Cannulation‐Related Complications

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Percutaneous femoro‐femoral V‐A ECMO cannulation was associated with more than a two‐fold lower risk of site bleeding and nearly a six‐fold lower risk of infection compared with surgical cut‐down, with no difference in limb ischemia. Absence of distal perfusion catheterization and larger arterial cannula size were additional modifiable ischemia risk ...

Hemocompatibility and Long‐Term Outcomes in HeartWare Versus HeartMate II Versus HeartMate 3: Multicenter Real‐World Cohort

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.
