: The utilization of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella has been suggested as means of left ventricular unloading in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. This study aimed to assess the local hemodynamic alterations in VA-ECMO patients through simulation analyses. : In this study, a 0D-3D multiscale model was developed, wherein resistance conditions were employed to define the flow-pressure relationship.

Background: Intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones (BDSs) have a high rate of residual stones, a high risk of recurrence, and a high rate of reoperation. It is very important to take timely and effective surgical intervention for patients.
Aim: To analyze the efficacy, postoperative rehabilitation, and quality of life (QoL) of patients with intra- and extrahepatic BDSs treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) + endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) + laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH).

Background: Despite the high mortality of cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS), the comparative efficacy and safety of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with AMI-CS is unknown. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of various MCS with initial medical therapy for AMI-CS patients.
Methods: We searched PubMed and EMBASE in July 2024.

Introduction: What interventions effectively prevent postoperative stenosis following endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial esophageal cancer? This study aimed to identify effective interventions or combinations through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Methods: Six databases were systematically searched for eligible studies up to 30 April 2023, on interventions to prevent esophageal stenosis post-ER. Odds ratios (ORs) evaluated stenosis rate (primary outcome) and complications (secondary outcome), while mean differences (MD) evaluated endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) sessions post-stenosis.
