Orthotopic heart transplantation (HTx) is a long-term surgical therapeutic approach for patients with end-stage failure. The objective of the present study was to uncover associations between altered thyroid hormone (TH) status and adverse outcomes after HTx.
Introduction There is a critical gap in understanding which SARS-CoV-2 patients would benefit most from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) support. The potential role of dysregulated immune response still unclear this patient population. Objectives To assess the predictive value specific cellular and humoral responses for survival critically ill COVID-19 requiring VV-ECMO. Methods We conducted prospective single-center observational study unvaccinated VV-ECMO support...
Background: Frailty has been proven to be associated with mortality after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). The aim of our study was determine the impact frailty on in current era using pretransplant mechanical cardiac support (MCS). Methods: We retrospectively calculated scores 471 patients undergoing OHT a single institution between January 2012 and August 2022. outcome all-cause mortality. Results: median survival time 1987 days (IQR: 1487 days) for all patients. In total, 266...
