The effectiveness of localized retrograde coronary venous perfusion (RCVP) in preventing or reversing myocardial ischemia after acute ligation of a coronary artery is described. Ten domestic pigs (Group I) underwent aorto left anterior coronary vein grafting with RCVP at systemic pressure. In another set of ten pigs (Group II), the coronary vein was similarly grafted, but the proximal end of the graft was perfused with oxygenated blood by means of an external pump at reduced pressure and flow. In both groups, RCVP successfully reversed the mechanical or electrical effects produced by 2 to 5 minutes of acute arterial ligation. After several hours, Group I animals showed evidence of acute ischemia and developing infarction. Group II animals, however, were maintained for 7 hours or more with regional RCVP and no evidence of ischemia. Retrograde coronary venous perfusion at reduced pressure may be more effective than perfusion at systemic pressure in providing myocardial blood flow.

Cardiogenic shock with bradycardia due to beta-blockers is well-documented; however, this condition in association with arotinolol is unreported. We present a case of cardiogenic shock resulting from delayed arotinolol clearance caused by bile duct obstruction. A man in his 60s presented to our hospital with jaundice.

The retrograde approach to chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to the success rates of CTO PCI. It is usually performed in complex CTO lesions, in which the antegrade approach is not feasible or fails. In this article we discuss the steps to perform retrograde CTO PCI and its complications and success rates.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by anxiety, excessive fear, distress, and weakness as symptoms of a psychiatric disorder. However, the mechanism associated with its symptoms such as anxiety-like behaviors is not well understood. It is aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the medial septum (MS)-medial habenula (MHb) neural circuit modulating the anxiety-like behaviors of PTSD mice through in vivo fiber photometry recording, optogenetics, behavioral testing by open-field and elevated plus maze, fluorescent gold retrograde tracer technology, and viral tracer technology.

Clin Transplant
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands.
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the most common cause of early mortality following heart transplantation. Although PGD can affect both ventricles, isolated right ventricular dysfunction (RV-PGD) is observed in nearly half of PGD patients. RV-PGD requires specific medical management to support the preload, afterload, and function of the failing RV; however, the use of mechanical circulatory support of the RV (RV-MCS) might be required when optimal medical therapy is insufficient in preventing forward failure and retrograde venous congestion.

Introduction: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common serious adverse event after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Although retrospective models to predict PEP have shown promise, their real-world applicability remains uncertain. Thus, we used prospectively derived cohort data to validate current prediction models.
