Mechanical Support & Transplant
A variety of mechanical circulatory support strategies are available to treat cardiogenic shock with left ventricular failure. Current theory suggests that direct left ventricular unloading should be superior to other strategies. However, these theoretical frameworks...
This multisociety European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) consensus statement addresses three mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction: ventricular free-wall rupture, pseudoaneurysm, and papillary muscle rupture....
This multicenter registry assessed long-term outcomes of thoracoscopic atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using a bipolar irrigated radiofrequency clamp across 13 years. Among 678 patients (predominantly longstanding persistent AF), freedom from...
