Acute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening emergency. Traditional teaching has focused on the need for emergent coronary angiography and/or intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in preparation open-heart surgery repair/replacement. Unfortunately, patients acute MR complicated by 25-46% perioperative mortality. New devices have provided additional options stabilization prior to which facilitate improved outcomes.We present two cases of...
Abstract Objectives Examine hemodynamic and clinical correlates of use an intra‐aortic balloon pump catheter in a single center. Background The (IABC) has been used for 50 years but the benefit is still debated. We reviewed 76 patients with right heart measurements prior to IABC assess response outcomes. Methods All who received 50cc at least 1 hour were included this retrospective chart review study. Demographics, comorbidities, lab values, parameters recorded baseline 15 h postinsertion....
Objective Clinical outcomes and adverse events utilizing the large volume 50cc intra‐aortic balloon (IAB) in contemporary clinical practice. Background The newer IAB, recently introduced into practice offers improved diastolic augmentation better left ventricular (LV) unloading compared to older 40cc IAB. Methods In 150 consecutive patients who received counterpulsation (IABC) with a from 2011 2015, we retrospectively analyzed demographic, clinical, laboratory, hemodynamic variables,...
The prevalence of peripheral vascular disease has led to the re-emergence percutaneous axillary access as a suitable alternative site femoral artery. We sought investigate efficacy and safety manual hemostasis in artery.Data were collected from prospective internal registry patients who had Maquet® (Rastatt, Germany) Mega 50 cc intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) placed artery position. They anticoagulated with weight-based intravenous heparin maintain an activated partial thromboplastin time...
Postoperative euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use has been well-documented and carries a Food Drug Administration recommendation to hold SGLT2 inhibitors 3 4 days before planned surgical procedure. Unfortunately, many procedures, such as orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), are unplanned unpredictable. With the increasing of in non-diabetic failure patients, new challenges patient management perioperative risk have...
Carotid Duplex Ultrasonography (CDUS) is one of the non-invasive imaging modalities used to evaluate for carotid artery stenosis. However, it often in patients with coronary disease (CAD), peripheral (PAD), before heart surgery, syncope and non-specific neurological symptoms although its value unclear. Our study aimed further investigate yield CDUS these conditions. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 827 consecutive ultrasounds ordered between March 2013 August at Newark Beth Israel...
Introduction: Carotid Duplex Ultrasonography (CDUS) is one of the non-invasive imaging modalities used to evaluate for carotid artery stenosis. However, it often in patients with coronary disease (CAD), peripheral (PAD), syncope, and before heart surgery although its value unclear. Our study aimed further investigate yield CDUS these conditions.

Background: Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation (IABC) with a 50 cc (MEGA 50™) balloon catheter is associated an average increase of 0.5- 0.7 liters/min in cardiac output. However, some patients (pts) have much more dramatic response. We retrospectively analyzed our single center tertiary care experience 150 consecutive pts undergoing IABC. Methods: Chart review for demographic, procedural, and hemodynamic data was collected whom 64 had both pre 4 hour post IABC measurements. The responder...
Background: Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) with the larger volume (LV) 50 cc Mega offers greater aortic diastolic augmentation and systolic unloading than its 40cc predecessor. We retrospectively analyzed our single center tertiary care experience 150 consecutive patients (pts) LV IABC to gauge efficacy safety. Methods: Retrospective chart review for demographic, procedural, safety in-hospital outcome data was undertaken on pts. In 64 pts, hemodynamic by Swan available pre-...
Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to describe the endomyocardial biopsy technique in two brain-dead decedent porcine xenoheart transplant recipients. Methods: Two 10-gene-edited xenograft hearts were transplanted into decedents and monitored over 66 hours. Endomyocardial biopsies performed on POD 1 2 order surveil for hyperacute acute rejection. In ensure proper positioning bioptome without damaging adjacent structures or perforating heart, under continuous transesophageal...
Background: Public hospitals face challenges in providing access to structural heart interventions due limited resources. Our aim is describe the implementation and outcomes of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Structural Heart Disease Program (SHDP) largest public healthcare system United States, as strategy mitigate disparities improve care. Methods: The SHDP at Bellevue Hospital serves referral center for 11 New York. It launched 2022 added hybrid OR March 2023. We collected clinical,...
