714-6 Increased Action Potential Prolongation by Low Voltage Biphasic versus Monophasic Field Stimuli [PDF]
In an in-vitro model for defibrillation, we compared action potential prolongation (APP) by monophasic (MONO) and biphasic (BI) field stimulus shocks in epicardial tissue strips from 10 dogs.

Abstract Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a common complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Due to the complex and limited understanding of RVF pathophysiology, efforts to prognosticate RVF after LVAD have been challenging.

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

Intra-aortic balloon-pump rupture and entrapment [PDF]
The authors report a case of intra-aortic balloon rupture and entrapment in a patient with extensive vascular disease. The balloon was subsequently removed percutaneously. A review of the diagnosis and management of this unusual complication is presented.

Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.

In the context of patients with severe heart failure, it is crucial to ensure adequate preconditioning before considering the implantation of dLVAD. Although several types of mechanical circulatory assist devices are available and all offer a significant advantage, the present study suggests that the higher the flow rate provided by the Impella®, the ...

Degree of risk related to procedures performed in conjunction with surgical myocardial revascularization in octogenarians [PDF]
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: We determined the degree of risk produced by the association of other surgical procedures with surgical myocardial revascularization in octogenarian patients and identified the risk factors that best explain hospital mortality ...

Acute myocarditis according to age: Presentation, management and early outcomes
MIS, multisystem inflammatory syndrome; MRE, myocarditis‐related events (within 30 days included all‐cause death, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, ventricular arrhythmias or complete AV block). Abstract Aims Acute myocarditis (AM) is a rare but severe disease affecting patients of all ages. Large multicentric studies comparing children and adults are

Intra-aortic balloon pump inserted through the subclavian artery: A minimally invasive approach to mechanical support in the ambulatory end-stage heart failure patient [PDF]
ObjectiveIntra-aortic balloon pumps are traditionally inserted through the femoral artery, limiting the patient's mobility. We used alternate approaches of intra-aortic balloon pump insertion to provide temporary and minimally invasive support for ...
