Purpose: Patients with Cardiogenic shock (CS) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have high mortality rates. We aimed to investigate the changes patient characteristics and outcomes over time among patients admitted to the ICU with CS.
Methods: Retrospective study utilizing a large bi-national ICU database from 2003 to 2022.
Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of healthcare outcomes in many settings, but few studies have evaluated the impact of SES among patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We sought to explore the association between SES and clinical characteristics, care quality and outcomes among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe AS.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVI for severe AS at three hospitals between August 2008 and February 2023 were prospectively enrolled in a multicentre registry.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-term survival outcomes for patients with severe ischaemic cardiomyopathy who underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to a lack of recent trial data.
- Using records from Australian and New Zealand cardiac registries between 2005 and 2018, researchers analyzed data from 2042 patients, with 1451 treated by CABG and 591 by PCI, adjusting for various risk factors.
- Results showed CABG patients had significantly lower long-term mortality compared to those who received PCI, although there were no differences in in-hospital mortality; however, CABG was associated with a higher risk of peri-procedural strokes and a longer hospital stay
Symptoms of anxiety and/or depression (SAD) commonly co-exist in severe aortic stenosis. In patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), these symptoms are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite this, mental health remains under-researched in the TAVI literature.

Routine reversal of anticoagulation with protamine at the conclusion of transfemoral TAVI could reduce complications, but data remain scarce.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of routine protamine administration after transfemoral TAVI.
