To uncover the weekend effects impact on TAVR , researchers analyzed over 82k TAVR hospitalizations between 2013 and 2021 and revealed that weekend patients faced a 45% higher risk of in-hospital mortality compared to weekday admissions.

Background:Venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used to treat cardiogenic shock. Conclusion:An LV support device may be associated with reduced mortality and increased success in weaning off VA-ECMO in patients with cardiogenic shock. to 1.36) but not in VA-ECMO with IABP (1.80

Authors' commentary: Cardiogenic shock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis. This patient’s severe aortic stenosis (AS) and associated severe cardiogenic shock likely created the ECG pattern, resulting in a very difficult challenge for our inpatient team. If you can use Doppler, then you can diagnose it. Circulation.
