Article Synopsis
- Acute ischemic mitral regurgitation (AIMR) is a serious condition that can occur during acute coronary syndrome, leading to rapid heart failure and shock; intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) are often used to stabilize patients before surgery.
- A 74-year-old man with cardiac issues underwent an initial stenting procedure but continued to experience severe hypoxia and hypotension, prompting the upgrade to an Impella device for better circulatory support.
- Although his condition improved enough for surgery to replace the mitral valve and perform bypass grafting, he later developed bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, leading to his death shortly after.
Over 60% of reported failures for reactive power compensation systems are given for damage to electrical circuit breaker contacts. This paper presents a study on the development of microwave technology for sintering of W-Cu-Cr alloys at 1012 °C for 65 min using 623.38 W microwave power, as well as microwave joining at 231 °C of the W-Cu-Cr composite material on body contact using 475 W microwave power for 55 s.

Methods: The study included adult patients with definite endocarditis. Data were collected via the Infectious Diseases International Research Initiative (ID-IRI).
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (RVD) after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Impella RP Flex was recently approved for RV support as a temporary mechanical circulatory device. We present the first case of its use in managing RVD in a patient after OHT.
