A Comparison of In-Hospital Outcomes Between the Use of Impella and IABP in Acute Myocardial Infarction Cardiogenic Shock Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSION: In patients with CS complicating AMI who underwent PCI, Impella use compared with IABP was associated with higher mortality with no differences in in-hospital stroke and cardiac arrest rates, although study interpretation is limited by retrospective observational design and the potential for remaining confounders. Further prospective research is warranted to elucidate the optimal mechanical circulatory support device in these patients.PMID:35100554

The Use of Intraprocedural Reinfusion During MitraClip Implantation to Reduce Blood Loss and Transfusion Requirements.
CONCLUSION: Reinfusion of aspirated blood during MitraClip was associated with reduced blood loss and a trend to reduced requirement for blood transfusion post procedure. Reinfusion during the procedure appeared safe, with no complications. PMID: 29289949 [PubMed - in process]

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization vs Complete Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that compared to CABG, HCR is associated with a lower risk of postoperative blood transfusion and infection, as well as a shorter ICU stay and hospital stay. HCR was also associated with a higher risk of long-term TVR. PMID: 30504516 [PubMed - in process]

Alternative Access Versus Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Nonagenarians.
CONCLUSION: There is a higher risk of adverse events following AA-TAVR compared with TF-TAVR. Therefore, TF-TAVR is recommended when feasible, with AA approach as a viable back-up option in nonagenarians. PMID: 30982779 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of TransFemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Performed With a Minimally Invasive Simplified Technique: "FAST" Versus a Standard Approach.
CONCLUSIONS: FAST can be safely performed and is associated with lower rates of iatrogenic complications and a shorter length of stay. PMID: 31567114 [PubMed - in process]
