Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to determine if the preoperative pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) can predict mortality after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, as right ventricular failure is a significant concern following the procedure.
- - An analysis of 117 patients from 2007 to 2021 revealed that those with a PAPi of 2.84 or higher had a significantly better 3-month survival rate compared to those with lower PAPi levels.
- - Other factors influencing 2-year mortality included systemic hypertension, diabetes, and whether the LVAD was used as a bridge to transplant, with notable differences in survival outcomes between these groups.
Diuretic vs. placebo in intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism: a randomized clinical trial.
Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care
January 2022
Aims: The role of diuretics in patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is controversial. In this multicentre, double-blind trial, we randomly assigned normotensive patients with intermediate-risk PE to receive either a single 80 mg bolus of furosemide or a placebo.
Methods And Results: Eligible patients had at least a simplified PE Severity Index (sPESI) ≥1 with right ventricular dysfunction.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 patients and identify associated characteristics, finding a 5.6% confirmed PE rate among those tested.
- Results showed that PE patients often required more invasive ventilation and had more extensive lung damage compared to control groups.
- The study suggests that the prevalence of PE could be around 5% in the general COVID-19 patient population and up to 20% in those where PE was clinically suspected.
Background: Percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valves has recently been introduced into clinical practice.
Aim: To analyse data of patients treated in France between April 2008 and December 2010.
Methods: Prospective, observational, multi-centric survey by means of a database registry of the Filiale de cardiologie pédiatrique et congénitale.
Background: Respiratory complications are common following pulmonary resection and cause a significant mortality. The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in acute respiratory insufficiency (ARI) is now well recognised. The prophylactic use of NIV in the absence of ARI and/or hypercapnia may be equally justified for the physiological benefits expected in the post-operative period following pulmonary surgery.
