Impella‐Assisted High‐Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Cardiogenic Shock With Low‐Flow, Low‐Gradient Aortic Stenosis and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Patients with cardiogenic shock, low‐flow, low‐gradient aortic stenosis, and multivessel coronary artery disease who are ineligible for surgery present a major therapeutic challenge. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support may facilitate revascularization in this high‐risk population. A 69‐year‐old man presented after a mechanical fall and

Haemodynamically stable patients with penetrating cardiac injury: The Auckland City Hospital experience

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Background The management of penetrating cardiac injuries (PCI) has evolved significantly. Haemodynamically stable patients with benign PCIs may be managed conservatively or with subxiphoid pericardial window (SPW). Whereas this approach has been adopted in high‐volume trauma centres, its applicability in low‐volume settings remains unclear ...

Pacing the Impossible: ICE‐ and Voltage‐Guided Atrial Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in Double Mechanical Valve Disease

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
A and B: Right atrial voltage mapping identified a limited region of viable myocardium within an extensive atrial scar. C: Intracardiac echocardiography guided safe deployment of an atrial leadless pacemaker. D and E: Fluoroscopy confirmed stable device positioning in the right atrial appendage of the patient.

Preclinical 1H MRS Study of a Porcine Model Shows Evidence and Mechanisms for Acute Neuronal Injury in Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Surgery

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 557-567, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Congenital heart disease affects 1% of US births, with some infants requiring cardiothoracic surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Optimal surgical parameters to minimize neuronal injury are unknown. We used serial 1H MRS in a neonatal CPB porcine model to assess acute neuronal damage and associated injury mechanisms.
