Urgent TEVAR with occlusion of the left subclavian artery: Is it safe in most patients?
A retrospective study analyzing the morbi-mortality associated with urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in acute aortic syndromes, focusing on the effects of occluding or not the left subclavian artery.
How to Orient Mechanical Prosthesis Discs in the Mitral Position?
This retrospective single-center study evaluates the relationship between anatomical or non-anatomical disc orientation in mechanical mitral prostheses and the development of pannus.
Ventricular Dysfunction, Viability, and Revascularization: The Never-Ending Story
This literature review addresses the role of viability studies in the indication for revascularization and the prognosis of patients with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, proposing a new decision algorithm for managing this clinical scenario.
EARLY-UNLOAD Study: Conventional Management vs. Early Ventricular Unloading in VA-ECMO Patients
The EARLY-UNLOAD study is a single-center, prospective clinical trial comparing early initiation of routine LV unloading in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients supported by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) against conventional management.
