Impact of aortic root geometry and degree of aortic calcification on outcomes of patients undergoing TAVI procedure
CONCLUSIONS: Calcification degree as well as its correlation with the surface area of each aortic cusp significantly influence incidence of PVL. Our new method improves preoperative quantification of the calcification degree by use of contrast agents with different iodine contents and thereby helps to improve patients' outcomes.PMID:38695370 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241248537 (Source: Perfusion)

Improved tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with better survival: Systematic review and meta-analysis with reconstructed time-to-event data
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis revealed that improved TR after TAVR correlates with superior long-term survival. The benefits of simultaneous or staged intervention on the tricuspid valve in individuals undergoing TAVR warrant validation in future investigations.PMID:38686939 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241251442 (Source: Perfusion)

Left atrium volume and function changes during stress in patients with primary mitral regurgitation and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with primary MR and preserved LV EF, LA parameters are related to SPAP and NT-pro-BNP concentration. LA volume indices, LA EF and LA filling index are predictors of EIPH.PMID:38687977 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241251441 (Source: Perfusion)

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted huge mediastinal tumor resection combined with superior vena cava replacement: A case report and literature review
Perfusion. 2024 Apr 29:2676591241251443. doi: 10.1177/02676591241251443. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs to huge solid mediastinal tumor which direct compression or invasion of the superior/inferior vena cava (SVC/IVC), surgical resection remains the main lifesaving treatment. However, it would present formidable anesthetic challenges due to the extremely high risks of cardiorespiratory compromise, drastic hemodynamic fluctuations and death at all perioperative stages. Here, we report a case of huge anterior mediastinal tumor resection combined with SVC replacement under the assistance of venoarterial extracorporeal membr...

The intricate physiology of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: an overview for clinicians
Perfusion. 2024 Apr;39(1_suppl):49S-65S. doi: 10.1177/02676591241238156.ABSTRACTDuring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO), blood is drained from the central venous circulation to be oxygenated and decarbonated by an artificial lung. It is then reinfused into the right heart and pulmonary circulation where further gas-exchange occurs. Each of these steps is characterized by a peculiar physiology that this manuscript analyses, with the aim of providing bedside tools for clinical care: we begin by describing the factors that affect the efficiency of blood drainage, such as patient and cannulae position...
