ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) with severe calcification remains a growing challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Atherectomy (ATH) has long been used for plaque modification, whereas intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as a promising alternative. Large‐scale comparative data on long‐term outcomes are limited.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...

Thermodilution vs estimated Fick cardiac output measurement in an elderly cohort of patients: A single-centre experience [PDF]
AIMS: Patients referred to the cath-lab are an increasingly elderly population. Thermodilution (TD, gold standard) and the estimated Fick method (eFM) are interchangeably used in the clinical routine to measure cardiac output (CO).

Although patients with acute coronary syndrome supported by veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) have a high risk of thrombosis and bleeding, antiplatelet pharmacology in this setting is not well defined. This prospective observational study investigated the population pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR ...

Laboratory Predictors of Prognosis in Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction
Cardiogenic shock is a state of reduced cardiac output leading to hypotension, pulmonary congestion, and hypoperfusion of tissues and vital organs. Despite the advances in intensive care over the last years, the morbidity and mortality of patients remain

Angiopoietin-2 predicts morbidity in adults with Fontan physiology. [PDF]
Morbidity in patients with single-ventricle Fontan circulation is common and includes arrhythmias, edema, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) among others. We sought to identify biomarkers that may predict such complications.

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Mortality of Patients with Hematological Malignancy after Admission to the Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
Background: The admission of patients with malignancies to an intensive care unit (ICU) still remains a matter of substantial controversy. The identification of factors that potentially influence the patient outcome can help ICU professionals make ...
