Article Abstract
Implantation of left ventricular assist devices while avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may decrease bleeding and improve postoperative recovery. To understand the effectiveness of this approach, we reviewed the charts of 26 patients who underwent HeartWare left ventricular assist device (HVAD) implantation without use of CPB (off-CPB group) and 22 patients who had HVAD implanted with CPB (CPB group) with an emphasis on the 30 day postoperative period. Preoperatively, both groups had similar demographic, functional, and hemodynamic characteristics. Off-CPB patients had significantly shorter surgery times than CPB patients, 188.5 (161.5-213.3) min versus 265.0 (247.5-299.5) min, respectively; p < 0.001. Blood transfusion requirements during surgery and within the postoperative 48 hour period were significantly lower in the off-CPB group than in the CPB group (odds ratio: 5.9; 95% confidence interval: 1.1-31.1, p = 0.042). Compared with the CPB group, the off-CPB group patients had a shorter intubation time, 21 (17.4-48.5) hours versus 41 (20.6-258.4) hours; p = 0.042. Intensive care unit stay was 7.0 (4.75-13.5) days for off-CPB versus 10.0 (6.0-19.0) days for CPB (p = 0.256). The off-CPB approach allows HVAD to be implanted quickly with significantly less perioperative bleeding and transfusion requirements and facilitates postoperative rehabilitation.

Outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting in patient with left main coronary artery disease: the TOkai LEft main RevAscularizatioN sTrategy (TOLERANT) study.

The outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still controversial for patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. This multicenter cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of LMCA disease patients who underwent PCI or CABG. We reviewed 875 consecutive patients diagnosed with LMCA disease between January 2009 and December 2020 who underwent coronary revascularization by PCI (n = 404) or CABG (n = 471).

In this review, we aimed to evaluate Sonothrombolysis when combined with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in STEMI patients with regard to improving cardiac function and clinical outcomes. This study primarily assesses short-term efficacy outcomes, while long-term impacts, such as mortality, were not evaluated. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we searched four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) to identify eligible studies reported up to November 2024.

Background: Long-term outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are compared with medical therapy remain under investigation. This study evaluated the 3-year effects of MitraClip on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity, ventricular remodeling, and clinical outcomes in high surgical-risk patients.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort included 31 MitraClip patients (2016-2023) and 30 contemporaneous controls on maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy.
Non-invasive left ventricular myocardial work indices in preterm neonates born to mothers with severe preeclampsia in pregnancy.
Arch Gynecol Obstet

The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, No. 899 Pinghai Street, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: The study utilized non-invasive myocardial work indices to investigate myocardial injury in infants born to mothers with severe preeclampsia (SPE) and to explore the duration of this myocardial damage during the neonatal period.
Methods: This prospective study included 34 preterm infants born to mothers with SPE and 28 preterm infants born to mothers without severe pregnancy complications (termed "controls"). Echocardiography was performed in infants within 24 h of birth, then again at 48-72 h and 14-28 days, to obtain echocardiographic parameters.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) usually affects the left ventricle and presents with nonspecific features like conduction abnormalities and ventricular arrhythmias. However, right ventricle (RV)-dominant involvement has been increasingly reported, making diagnosis difficult.
