Three-Year Experience of Kidney Transplantation at a Single Center in Uzbekistan
CONCLUSIONS: Delayed graft function developed when duration of warm ischemia was increased, which was influenced by the number of vessels in the donor kidney. This is an important prognostic factor for acute rejection development. The risk of vascular complications increases due to postoperative hemodialysis trough, with development of delayed graft function. Recipient deaths during the first year after kidney transplant were mainly from pulmonary embolism, infection, and sepsis as a result of immunosuppression, hypovolemic shock, and acute ischemic stroke.PMID:35384804 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2021.O10

Unique Findings of Myocardial Improvement with Lower Left Ventricular Assist Device Pump Speed
Currently, optimizing hemodynamics and unloading in patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) relies on echocardiography and right heart catherization guidance for pump speed adjustments. However, the ideal unloading strategy to maximize reverse remodelling is uncertain - whether to provide maximal pump support to unload the heart ( ‘rest’), or maximize ventricular work with partial pump support (‘work’). Using non-invasively derived PV loops, we sought to characterize the longitudinal changes in chamber contractile parameters stroke work (SW), peak systolic pressure (LVPmax) and peak LV elastance (Ees) a...

Carotid Endarterectomy Prior to Ventricular Assist Device Placement in a Patient with Cardiogenic Shock
Atherosclerotic disease in the cervical vessels may be a contraindication for implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The occurrence of ischemic stroke represents an obstacle to rehabilitation, and its incidence seems to be higher in this population. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a preferable surgical treatment in patients with high bleeding risk. This case report suggests that CEA followed by implantation of LVADs can be feasible.

Assessing Cardiac Recovery for Decommissioning of LVAD Support: Structure versus Function
Recovery of left ventricular (LV) function during LVAD support occurs in only 1-3% of patients. Assessment for recovery and LVAD removal is desirable given the risks of infection, stroke, and device malfunction. This case of a patient with an LVAD, with recovered LV systolic function but abnormal exercise hemodynamics, illustrates the potential utility of right heart catheterization studies for clinical decisions.
