Novel Formula to calculate 3-D Angle between Inflow Cannula and Device Body of HeartMate II LVAD
ConclusionsWe established a novel formula to mathematically calculate actual 3D angles between inflow cannula and device body of HeartMate II. The formula would help investigators to validate their findings of the relationship between 2D projected angle (from CXR) and device thrombosis.

Fatal Neurologic Dysfunction During Continuous-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Support
ConclusionsOur study elucidates the characteristics and risk factors of patients who died of ND during CF-LVAD support. Further studies are required to find ways to decrease the incidence of fatal ND during CF-LVAD support.

Neurologic Deficit Following Aortic Arch Replacement: The Influence of the Aortic Atherosclerosis
ConclusionsAtherothrombotic lesions found by objectively graded computed tomography were predictors of neurologic deficit. Retrograde perfusion in the presence of a distal atherothrombotic lesion should be avoided whenever possible. Strategies based on the full assessment of the whole aortic morphology appear to be mandatory. Anticoagulation therapy should be performed very carefully to avoid intracranial hemorrhagic changes.Graphical abstract
