Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: an algorithm based ECMO program can improve clinical outcomes. [PDF]
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in our institution resulted in near total mortality prior to the establishment of an algorithm-based program in July 2010. We hypothesized that an algorithm based ECMO program improves the outcome of

Comparison of outcomes for off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in low-volume and high-volume centers and by low-volume and high-volume surgeons [PDF]
In terms of in-hospital outcomes, controversy still remains whether off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting is superior to on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

ABSTRACT Background Advanced heart failure (HF) remains a clinical challenge, and mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has emerged as a potential bridging strategy. Aims To describe the clinical outcomes of M‐TEER in a single‐center cohort of patients with advanced HF and to identify anatomical and clinical features potentially associated ...

Combined Off-Pump Coronary Revascularization and Lung Resection
Concomittant severe coronary artery disease and lung malignancies occur rarely. Combined conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with lung resection posses several perioperative and postoperative ...

ABSTRACT This patient is a 77‐year‐old male with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and moderate mitral regurgitation who underwent simultaneous transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair of both mitral and tricuspid valves. Post‐procedure, the patient exhibited significant symptomatic improvement and reduced regurgitation severity ...

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

Anesthesia for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery
The evolution of techniques and knowledge of beating heart surgery has led anesthesia toward the development of new procedures and innovations to promote patient safety and ensure high standards of care. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery has shown to have some advantages compared to on-pump cardiac surgery, particularly the reduction of ...

Left Main Stem Perforation: Management Strategies in a Potentially Catastrophic Event
ABSTRACT Left main stem coronary perforation is a potentially fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention if not recognized early and treated emergently. Treating left main stem perforation can be challenging due to the significant hemodynamic effect of one of the important steps, namely balloon tamponade.
