Development of a Self-Deploying Extra-Aortic Compression Device for Medium-Term Hemodynamic Stabilization: A Feasibility Study.
Adv Sci (Weinh)

Hemodynamic stabilization is crucial in managing acute cardiac events, where compromised blood flow can lead to severe complications and increased mortality. Conditions like decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock require rapid and effective hemodynamic support. Current mechanical assistive devices, such as intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), offer temporary stabilization but are limited to short-term use due to risks associated with prolonged blood contact.

Department of Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, University of Zurich, Raemistr. 100, Zurich, 8091, Switzerland.
Background: Hemodynamically unstable pelvic ring fractures from high-energy trauma are critical injuries in trauma care, requiring urgent intervention and precise diagnostics. With ongoing advancements in trauma management, treatment strategies have evolved, with some techniques becoming obsolete as new ones emerge. This study aimed to evaluate changes and trends in treatment algorithms for these injuries over approximately 40 years.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Electronic address:
Background: The Magenta Elevate is a 9-F, self-expanding, catheter-mounted pump delivered sheathed through a commercially available 10-F femoral introducer over the wire to the left ventricle (LV), providing temporary hemodynamic support up to an equivalent of normal cardiac output.
Objectives: The authors sought to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Elevate-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) in a first-in-human study and study the hemodynamic impact of high-output support during prolonged interventional left main coronary artery (LM) occlusions.
Methods: In this study, 14 patients underwent Elevate-supported HR-PCI, with 8 patients undergoing 20 prolonged (39 ± 16 seconds) balloon occlusions of an unprotected LM.
Efficacy and Safety of Optilume Drug-Coated Balloon for Urethral Stricture Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cureus
November 2024
Medicine and Surgery, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, Coventry, GBR.
The Optilume drug-coated balloon (DCB) (North Plymouth, USA) is a novel treatment option for urethral stricture disease that combines mechanical dilation with localized delivery of paclitaxel, an antiproliferative drug aimed at reducing recurrence rates by inhibiting scar tissue formation. This systematic review and meta-analysis, conducted using studies published in the last 10 years up to November 2024, assessed the efficacy and safety of Optilume DCB across seven studies involving 457 patients. Key outcomes included significant reductions in symptom scores, as measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and improvements in urinary flow rates (QMax).

Stroke
December 2024
Stroke, University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom. (T.J.E.).
Background: The effect of temporary blood flow arrest during endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke is uncertain due to the lack of evidence from randomized controlled trials. We aimed to investigate whether temporary blood flow arrest during endovascular thrombectomy using a balloon guide catheter improves intracranial vessel recanalization compared with nonflow arrest.
Methods: The ProFATE trial (Proximal Blood Flow Arrest During Endovascular Thrombectomy) was a multicenter, randomized, participant- and outcome-blinded trial at 4 thrombectomy centers in the United Kingdom.
