Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the Impella RP device in adolescents and young adults with refractory right heart failure.
- A total of 12 patients, with a median age of 18, underwent the procedure, showing significant reductions in central venous pressure and an 83% survival rate to hospital discharge.
- Despite one adverse event, the results suggest that the device is both effective and safe for this age group, indicating a need for further research to identify suitable candidates for such therapy.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and patency rates using the Viabahn endoprosthesis in complex (TASC-II C and D) femoropopliteal lesions.
Background: Traditional treatment of symptomatic TASC-II C and D femoropopliteal lesions has mainly centered on open surgical options in patients deemed appropriate candidates. Endovascular treatment of these lesions with balloon angioplasty has been historically hampered by aggressive restenosis and relatively early clinical failure.
We compared quantitative sudomotor axon-reflex test responses in persons with normal and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Responses were significantly impaired in those with IGT, which may be indicative of early distal small fiber neuropathy.
