Muscular counterpulsation: preliminary results of a non-invasive alternative to intra-aortic balloon pump [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: IABP is the most widely used form of temporary cardiac assist and its benefits are well established. We designed an animal study to evaluate a device based on muscular counterpulsation (MCP) that should reproduce the same hemodynamic effects ...

First-Line Support by Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump in Non-Ischaemic Cardiogenic Shock in the Era of Modern Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: Little is known about circulatory support in cardiogenic shock (CS) from other causes than the acute coronary syndrome or after cardiotomy. We evaluated the effects of first-line intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support in this subpopulation ...

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Determining the factors for interhospital transfer in advanced heart failure cases

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: There are some patients with advanced heart failure (HF), for whom implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplantation (HTx) should be considered. Some of them need to be transferred between hospitals.

Pre‐operative anaemia, red blood cell transfusion and mortality after cardiac surgery: a Netherlands Heart Registration mediation analysis

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Pre‐operative anaemia is an established risk factor for mortality after cardiac surgery. The extent to which this risk is mediated by complications related to red blood cell transfusion remains uncertain, particularly across different age groups.

Machine Learning‐Based Prediction of Life‐Threatening Complications During Hemodialysis in Hospitalized Patients With Poor General Conditions

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A machine learning model using predialysis data predicted sudden events during or after hemodialysis with high accuracy (auROC: 0.889). The key predictors included emergency hospitalization, recent surgery, high heart rate, low albumin levels, and high CRP.
