The left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure is an important intervention for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular fibrillation who cannot tolerate anticoagulation. Accurate imaging essential to guide and ensure optimal device deployment. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has traditionally been the gold standard procedural guidance, but intracardiac (ICE) emerging as alternative owing its unique advantages. This review examines comparative effectiveness, advantages,...
Poloxamer 188 (P188) is a nonionic triblock copolymer believed to prevent cellular injury after ischemia and reperfusion.This study compared intracoronary infusion of P188 immediately reperfusion with delayed through peripheral intravenous catheter in porcine model ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Cellular mitochondrial were assessed.STEMI was induced 55 pigs using 45 minutes endovascular coronary artery occlusion. Pigs then randomized four groups: control, immediate (IC)...
Abstract Aims The long-term outcomes of patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain poorly defined. purpose this study was to describe the hospital length stay and survival who were successfully rescued ECPR after VT/VF OHCA. Methods results In retrospective cohort study, index admission OHCA at a single centre evaluated. sensitivity analysis,...
Evaluate the differences in coronary artery disease (CAD) burden between patients with ischemic resuscitated, refractory VT/VF OHCA events and N/STEMI.Refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest presenting initial shockable rhythms (VT/VF OHCA) have highest mortality among acute events. No predictors of refractoriness been identified.A retrospective cohort design was used to assess baseline characteristics, clinical outcomes, angiographic severity undergoing emergent angiography at University...
xtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of refractory cardiac arrest. We a 2×2 study design to compare ECMO versus CPR and epinephrine placebo porcine model ischemic ventricular fibrillation (VF). Pigs underwent 5 minutes untreated VF, 10 CPR, were randomized receive for another 35 minutes. Animals further LAD reperfusion at minute 45 with ongoing veno-arterial cannulation subsequent reperfusion. Four-hour survival was improved while showed no effect.
Objective To evaluate the effects of two preparations combined oral contraceptives(COCs), monophasic COC containing 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 75 gestodene triphasic 30/40/30 50/70/100 on seven natural inhibitors hemostatic variables.Method Forty-four healthy young women, randomly allocated into groups (A B) received COCs, respectively. The following variables were tested in a basic examination at 1-, 3-and 6-month intervals to role above balance prothrombin time, fibrinogen, antithrombin...
To evaluate invasive hemodynamics in assessing MC therapy success as well its effectiveness a predictor of functional outcomes.Mitral regurgitation grade is poor outcomes after MitraClip. There paucity data on outcomes.Sixty-nine patients underwent between 2015 and 2018 at the University Minnesota Medical Center were retrospectively analyzed. Invasive performed before device deployment with transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. Statistical analysis was using STATA version 16. Student's...
Background and Aims: Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for staging of chronic liver disease following orthotopic transplantation. Noninvasive assessment fibrosis with Fibro-test (FT) is well-studied in immunocompetent populations hepatitis C virus infection. The aim this study to investigate diagnostic value FT hepatic allografts transplant recipients evidence recurrent C. Methods: We retrospectively compared biopsies performed within a median 1 month each other transplantation Results:...
Objective : Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) is thought to improve neurologically intact survival when applied after Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) achieved in patients who suffer a cardiac arrest.Intra-CPR cooling may accelerate the time reach TH and thus enhance its neurological benefit.Sodium Nitroprusside Enhanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SNPeCPR) has been shown intra-CPR compared standard CPR.The aim this study assess which method therapeutic hypothermia most efficient...
