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).

Deep Sedation in a Patient Undergoing Transfemoral Tricuspid Valve Repair Using the PASCAL System
A 70-year-old man with severe tricuspid regurgitation and large coaptation gap (0.8 cm) was referred to transfemoral valve repair using the PASCAL system. The procedure was successful in reducing tricuspid regurgitation.
