Article Synopsis
- This study focused on creating a specific model to evaluate the severity of aortic regurgitation (AR) in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), as there is no standard method for assessing AR in these cases.
- Researchers developed an echo-compatible flow loop using a 3D-printed left heart model from a patient with known significant AR and measured forward flow and regurgitant volume at various LVAD speeds.
- Results showed that the model successfully replicated the hemodynamics of AR in the patient, allowing for reliable measurements that can assist in studying echocardiographic parameters and improving clinical care for LVAD patients.
• AEF is a rare complication of AF ablation associated with high mortality risk. • There is no typical clinical presentation for such patients. • High clinical suspicion for AEF should be maintained after ablation.
