Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) are currently being evaluated in clinical trials as a potential therapeutic tool for regenerative medicine. The effectiveness of transplanted CDCs is largely attributed to their ability to release beneficial soluble factors to enhance therapeutic effects. An emerging area of research is the pretreatment of stem cells, including CDCs, with various cytokines to improve their therapeutic properties.

The Aim: to determine the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidinefor sedation and analgesia during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA VI) withfemoral access.
Materials And Methods: the study included 34 high-risk surgical patients with "critical aortic stenosis". All patients underwent TAVI with femoral access.
Purpose: To find an advisability of use of invasive monitoring of intracardiac haemodynamics during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Patients And Methods: The study included 12 patients underwent transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TTAVR). All patients were monitored according to Harvard standard.
