Neurological complications after cardiac operations are mostly due to particle embolization. This case illustrates the embolic potential of any material. A 77-year-old lady underwent re-operation for homograft aortic regurgitation and mitral valve replacement. Intra-aortic filtration was used. After cardiopulmonary bypass the filter was found to have captured a pledget from a suture used to secure the mitral replacement device.

Angiographic Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Impella-Supported High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the cVAD PROTECT III Study.
Circ Cardiovasc Interv

Division of Cardiology, Center for Structural Heart Disease, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, MI (M.B.B., W.W.O.).
Background: Prior studies have found that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have worse outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There are no data about patients with advanced CKD undergoing Impella-supported high-risk PCI. We, therefore, aimed to evaluate angiographic characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients with CKD who received Impella-supported high-risk PCI as part of the catheter-based ventricular assist device PROTECT III study (A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial of the IMPELLA RECOVER LP 2.

Background: Thrombocytopenia, a common complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, is particularly prevalent among elderly individuals. This study developed a risk prediction model utilizing preoperative and intraoperative variables to identify high-risk elderly patients prone to developing thrombocytopenia.
Methods: The patients were retrospectively recruited from Beijing Anzhen Hospital between February 2019 and December 2020.
Development and Validation of a Risk Score Predicting Death Without Transplant in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates.

February 2024
Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.
Article Synopsis
- The US heart allocation system prioritizes patients most at risk of death without a transplant, but its current method is flawed and can be manipulated.
- Researchers aimed to create a new risk score, the US Candidate Risk Score (US-CRS), using clinical data to enhance decision-making for heart transplant candidates.
- A study involving nearly 17,000 candidates validated the US-CRS, which proved more effective than existing models in predicting mortality rates before transplant.
Incidence, Determinants, and Outcome of Contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the common cause of in-hospital acquired AKI and is associated with in-hospital mortality and prolonged hospital stay. We studied the incidence of CI-AKI after PCI, determinants of CI-AKI, and also assessed their length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, and need for dialysis. This was a hospital-based prospective observational study done on 204 adult subjects, who were candidates for PCI, at a tertiary care center in North India.

Aim: To access the features of the course of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with different stages of MI complicated by cardiogenic shock (MI CS) according to the SCAI scale.
Methods: We retrospectively described the portrait of CS MI ( = 117) at different stages of SCAI from the hospital MI registry ( = 1253).
Results: Hospital mortality increased from stage to stage ( ≤ 0.
