Article Synopsis
- Bacterial pneumonia can cause serious breathing problems, and sometimes patients need a special treatment called veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) when regular ventilation doesn't work.
- A case study was about a 39-year-old woman with severe pneumonia and other health issues who needed 30 days of ECMO and over 50 days on a breathing machine, facing many complications.
- The doctors believe that even badly damaged lungs can heal if given enough time and the right care, which might change how doctors decide to use ECMO in the future.

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been developed as an alternative option for surgical high-risk or inoperable patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
Aim Of The Study: Aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing transapical aortic valve replacement as a single-strategy option by a single-center multidisciplinary heart team.
Material And Methods: Between June 2009 and December 2014, 41 patients underwent transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA-TAVI) at our institution.
Right-sided endocarditis usually involves the tricuspid valve, predominantly in intravenous drug abusers, in patients with anti-arrhythmic devices or central venous lines, and in patients with skin or genitourinary infection and with congenital heart disease 1. We describe a case of a 15-y-old patient, who had tricuspid valve endocarditis in a morphologically normal valve after having his ear pierced, without history of parenteral drug addiction and vascular catheter use. Progression of vegetation size and development of tricuspid valve regurgitation in spite of the intensive antibiotic treatment eventually required surgical intervention.
