Right heart failure before LVAD implantation predicts right heart failure after LVAD implantation – is it that easy?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is common and associated with worse outcome. Prediction of RHF remains challenging.

Novel Transthoracic Pulmonary Valve Implantation Using Self‐Expanding Salus Valve: A Prospective Study of Safety and Mid‐Term Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as a valuable treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). The Salus valve (Balance Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) represents a novel self‐expanding valve stent designed for deployment through a transthoracic approach with a small subxiphoid incision ...

Stochastic Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of Cardiovascular System with Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2018, 2018
The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been used for end-stage heart failure patients as a therapeutic option. The aortic valve plays a critical role in heart failure and its treatment with LVAD. The cardiovascular-LVAD model is often used to investigate the physiological demands required by patients and predict the hemodynamic of the native ...

Impact of Diabetes on Long‐Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

Effects on the pulmonary hemodynamics and gas exchange with a speed modulated right ventricular assist rotary blood pump: a numerical study

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2018
Rotary blood pumps (RBPs) are the newest generation of ventricular assist devices. Although their continuous flow characteristics have been accepted widely, more and more research has focused on the pulsatile modulation of RBPs in an attempt to provide ...

Semi-supervised Cardiac Image Segmentation via Label Propagation and Style Transfer [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures can assist doctors to diagnose diseases, and to improve treatment planning, which is highly demanded in the clinical practice. However, the shortage of annotation and the variance of the data among different vendors and medical centers restrict the performance of advanced deep learning methods.

Safety and Efficacy of Single Femoral Vein Puncture Technique for Double Access in Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Under ICE Guidance—A Single Center Experience of the “Two‐In‐One Technique”

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In selected patient populations, percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale has been shown to be beneficial in preventing cerebral ischaemic events. In most cases, this procedure requires echocardiographic guidance, which may be transesophageal, transthoracic or intracardiac.

Clinical and Technical Predictors of Treatment Success After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy in Calcific Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is increasingly used to treat coronary artery calcification (CAC). This study aimed to identify clinical and procedural factors associated with IVL treatment success. Methods This retrospective analysis included 454 patients (73 ± 9 years, 75% male) treated with IVL from the multicenter BENELUX‐IVL ...
