The comparative impact of central vs. peripheral VA-ECMO cannulation on postoperative graft dysfunction in lung transplantation: a retrospective analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundLung transplantation (LTx) is the definitive treatment for end-stage pulmonary diseases, with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) used as a common perioperative support. Patients were divided into central (n=31) and peripheral (n=91) groups.

Transcatheter Palliation With Pulmonary Artery Flow Restrictors in Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease: Feasibility, Outcomes, and Comparison With a Historical Hybrid Stage 1 Cohort

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Background:Neonates with complex congenital heart disease and pulmonary overcirculation have been historically treated surgically. Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between palliation strategy and 6-month mortality.Results:From 2021 to 2023, 17 patients (median age, 4 days; interquartile range [IQR], 2–8; median weight, 2.5

Trends in Ductus Arteriosus Stent Versus Blalock?Taussig?Thomas Shunt Use and Comparison of Cost, Length of Stay, and Short?Term Outcomes in Neonates With Ductal?Dependent Pulmonary Blood Flow: An Observational Study Using the Pediatric Health Information Systems Database

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Volume 12, Issue 23 , December 5, 2023. BackgroundThe modified Blalock‐Taussig‐Thomas shunt is the gold standard palliation for securing pulmonary blood flow in infants with ductal‐dependent pulmonary blood flow. 1.99]) or freedom from catheter reintervention (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.65–1.58]),

Abstract Sa1109: Aerobic Capacity of Adults with Fontan Palliation: Disease-specific Reference Values and Relationship to Outcomes

Circulation

Background:Patients with Fontan palliation have reduced aerobic capacity because of impaired cardiac, pulmonary, and skeletal muscle function. We assessed the correlates of predicted peak VO2, and the relationship between predicted peak VO2quartiles and cardiovascular outcomes (death/transplant).Results:Of 15.2 - 23.9)

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and "benign early repolarization"

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

CT angiogram chest: no aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. Serial chest xrays: progressive bilateral pulmonary edema. The last information available is that the patient was undergoing heart transplant evaluation. She died before she could get a heart transplant. No further troponins were measured.
