Purpose: A markerless workflow for the treatment of breast cancer patients has been introduced and evaluated retrospectively. It includes surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT)-only positioning for patients with small cone beam CT (CBCT) position corrections during the first five fractions. Prerequisites and the frequency of its clinical application were evaluated, as well as potential benefits in terms of treatment time and dose savings, the frequency of CBCT scans, and the accuracy of the positioning.

Background: There has been increasing use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as bridge to heart transplant (orthotopic heart transplant [OHT]) or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) over the last decade. We aimed to provide insights on the population, outcomes, and predictors for the selection of each therapy.

Methods: Using the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry between 2010 and 2019, we compared in-hospital mortality and length of stay, predictors of OHT versus LVAD, and predictors of in-hospital mortality for patients with cardiogenic shock that were bridged with ECMO to OHT or LVAD.
