A Single Site, Retrospective Chart Review of Renal Transplant Graft Failure and Mortality Rates Pre and Post COVID-19 Pandemic.

Introduction: Immunosuppressed patients are at an increased risk of complications from COVID-19. Despite the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19, there is little information regarding its effect on post-renal transplant patients. This study investigated the impact of a COVID-19 diagnosis on renal transplant recipients in terms of graft failure and mortality.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation for very early bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis secondary to pacemaker lead entrapment: a case report.

Background: Tricuspid stenosis (native and prosthetic) is rare. Redo-sternotomy for isolated tricuspid replacement is associated with a higher risk. The efficacy and durability of transcatheter valve implantation for severe tricuspid stenosis are unclear.

Clinical factors associated with physician choice of femoral versus radial access: A real-world experience from a single academic center.

Objectives: To analyze clinical factors associated with operator's preference in selection of femoral versus radial access for angiography and percutaneous intervention (PCI) procedures.

Background: There has been an increase in radial access in cardiac catheterization and PCI in the last few decades.

Methods: Data from 11 226 consecutive cardiac catheterization procedures were collected from Sanford University Medical Center (University of South Dakota, Sanford School of Medicine) from 2011 to 2015.
