Article Synopsis
- Pinch-off syndrome is a rare problem that can happen with a medical device called a port-a-cath, which helps people get treatments. It can cause serious heart issues when it breaks and moves into the heart.
- In a case, doctors successfully removed a broken piece of this device from an 85-year-old man's heart using a special technique while he was getting cancer treatment.
- Doctors need to know about pinch-off syndrome so they can act quickly and prevent serious problems. The method they used to remove the broken part is safe and easy.
Aims: The aim was to assess the effect of a telemonitoring programme vs. standard care (SC) in preventing all-cause deaths or unplanned hospitalisations in heart failure (HF) at 18 months.
Methods And Results: OSICAT was a randomised, multicentre, open-label French study in 937 patients hospitalised for acute HF ≤12 months before inclusion.
