Cardiac resynchronization therapy and pulmonary artery banding in advanced heart failure infants with left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy and left bundle branch block

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The combination of cardiac resynchronization therapy and pulmonary artery banding was associated with substantial improvement in advanced heart failure infants with left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy and left bundle branch block. Most patients exhibited marked improvement in clinical status and ventricular function, along with a reduction in QRS ...

Effect of dexmedetomidine on attenuation of hemodynamic response to intubation, skin incision, and sternotomy in coronary artery bypass graft patients: A double-blind randomized control trial

open access: yesJournal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2020
Background and Aims: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery involves various noxious stimuli resulting in stress response, which in turn increases the risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia.

Hemocompatibility Outcomes After Aspirin Withdrawal in Long‐Term HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients on Vitamin K Antagonists

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Aspirin discontinuation in long‐term, stable Heart Mate 3 LVAD patients maintained on Vitamin K antagonists did not increase hemocompatibility‐related adverse events. These findings support the safety of simplified antithrombotic therapy and extend randomized evidence for aspirin avoidance to the long‐term management of Heart Mate 3 recipients ...

A Novel Biventricular Assist Device With a Single Driveline: A Report on the First Patient Treated

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We would like to report the first‐in‐human implantation of the novel DuoCor‐BiVAS biventricular assist device (BiVAD). This system features a single driveline and compact peripheral components, offering a promising mechanical support option for patients with terminal biventricular heart failure ineligible for heart transplantation.

Single‐Incision Anterolateral Thoracotomy for LVAD Implantation: A Novel Minimally Invasive Approach

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A novel single‐incision anterolateral thoracotomy technique enables complete HeartMate 3 implantation without sternotomy, minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. This minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe, and may represent a new standard in advanced heart failure surgery.
