Objectives: To demonstrate the utility of fetal intracardiac transfusion to correct acute fetal hypovolemia and thrombocytopenia in fetal Parvovirus infection.
Methods: Intracardiac transfusion in a 19-week gestation was indicated due to cordocentesis-associated hemorrhage.
Results: Intracardiac transfusion resulted in correction of acute bradycardia, anemia and thrombocytopenia and persistent umbilical cord hemorrhage following attempted intravascular transfusion.
Conclusions: This case illustrates the importance of anticipating both thrombocytopenia and anemia in fetal Parvovirus infection and how an intracardiac approach can be employed in the setting of acute, life-threatening hemorrhage.

Lower mini-sternotomy: an approach for treating all valvulopathies?
Ann Thorac Surg
December 2024
Sorbonne University, Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Cardiology, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Paris, France.
Background: Lower mini-sternotomy offers the advantage of providing excellent visualization of the 4 cardiac cavities, allowing surgical treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves as well as any intra-cavitary procedure. Technical issues, as well as safety and echocardiographic results of this approach, are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe outcomes of lower mini-sternotomy to treat valvulopathies and other intracardiac surgeries.

The standard approach to catheter based left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) involves trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided screening and placement, and procedural general anesthesia requiring overnight stay. In pursuit of improved patient experience and reduced cost, streamlined approaches in each phase of care have been explored. However, the safety and clinical outcomes for a completely protocolized minimalist approach utilizing computed tomography angiogram (CTA), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), conscious sedation, and same-day discharge are lacking.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
A Retrospective Analysis of AngioVac Outcomes at a Tertiary Care Center.
J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv
June 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, Augusta, Georgia.
Background: The AngioVac system is a vacuum aspiration device approved for removal of right-sided cardiac thrombi. It has also been used for management of right-sided endocarditis in selected cases. Retrospective case series have reported high success rate and acceptable 30-day mortality, but there is limited data regarding outcomes beyond the immediate postoperative period.

Peri-operative management of cyanotic congenital heart disease in a patient of sickle cell disease (SCD) can be challenging. We report a case of Tetralogy of Fallot and homozygous SCD with history of multiple blood transfusions and sickle cell crises who underwent intracardiac repair. Hemoglobin S level was reduced from 75% pre-operative to 21.
